    Its a such inspiring movie..

    Poorna, the movie well scripted and depicted on to the screen. Thanks to Rahul Bose for presenting this film to us. But first you need to know, who is Poorna Malavath? On May 25 2014 she became the youngest girl to summit the Mount Everest at the age of 13 years.

    The story tells us about the life of a tribal girl, who wants to study but situations doesn't allows her to do so. Film's tag line "ladkiyan kuch be kar sakti hai" says it all. Music, direction, editing is at perfection level. Goosebumps guaranteed. Official runtime of the movie is 105minutes. Precisely portrayed everything on to the screen which keeps the audience engaged. But one thing is that, audiences are not appreciating this film by watching it on theatre. Star cast are not that famous as of any other Biopics. Audience judge the movie on the type of star cast. The debutant girls played extremely well especially Aditi Inamdar (Poorna Malavath).

    Two movies Naam Shabana & Poorna released on the same day 31st March 2017, but somehow I chose Poorna from the both. There are few dialogues in Telugu too, but that won't be a problem. This is the best movie of the year after "The Ghazi attack". Do watch it.

    Bold, Fantastic, Fascinating, Motivating, Inspiring. Rating: 4/5

    need all our support and encouragement

    Please watch POORNA with your entire family in the nearest theater. These kind of films need all our support and encouragement. Hats off to PVR and director-producer #RahulBose, for investing time, effort n energy in this venture. Rating 3/5.

    Youngest girl to climb Mount Everest!

    After searching for movies released in 2017 on Google India, there were two movies (Running Shaadi, Poorna) which I dint saw that were rated above 7.5 on IMDb. After reading user reviews on IMDb, watching 'Poorna: Courage Has No Limit' was a priority. I would say I was not disappointed.

    Tone: The tone is set how a 13 year old girl sets record of youngest girl climbing Mount Everest. Being an Indian, a biography addressing to somebody who is Indian always attracts me. Setting a kind of record over that attracts me even more. The movie has got both of this as its utmost limit, alluring one to watch it (4/10).

    Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: I would say direction to be average, Screenplay to be weak, Cinematography to be good (3/10).

    Music: Music is average (2/10).

    Acting: Acting is average as well. I liked the sincerity of young actors (3/5).

    Final Verdict: Biography of a world record holding Indian. It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(3/5) (8/10)].

    Great movie . Great director in making, Great Cinemato, Great music

    I had very low expectation from the movie as I had not heard great things about this movie in media, and now I am writing this after the first few scenes of the music. Very few directors know the art of blending music , cinematography and story together as I see in this film. After finishing all the movies of Sergio Leone and Satyajit Ray, I was ad that I will never be seeing such movies again. I see a hope now after this movie. I am not talking about the story plot which everyone can see is good , but more about the art. To Rahul Bose - You have a great team , Its a long and painful journey for you ahead, you will get awfully lonely if you continue to make such films in Bollywood. But I would suggest you to stick to your guns, and we will see another Sholay , or Apu Trilogy or Dollar trilogy coming from you.

    Poorna

    Poorna the movie is based on the true story of # Poorna Malavath of Pakala village from Nizamabad district of Telangana. She is the youngest mountaineer to have summited Mount Everest at 13 years and 11 months accompanied by Sandhana Palli Anand Kumar of Khammam. It is typically a story of a poor village girl, who dreams and aspires in a way normal children do but is largely burdened by her penury life circumstances. Poorna played by #Aditi Inamdar in her debut film, has portrayed the character with an air of innocence that touches your heart. The portrayal of a Herculean task that this tiny and timid girl sets for herself and accomplishes, against the innumerable odds is no mean feat! For a beginner, she has nailed it! Poorna's cousin Priya, played by #S.Mariya, who is supposed to be her friend, emotional anchor and motivator in the film, justifies the role. #Rahul Bose in his production and directional capacity coupled with his character in the movie of Dr.R S Praveen kumar who is Poorna's mentor and facilitator has done a remarkable job! Bose has succeeded in driving the audience to take cognizance of the stark realities of how the free education organizations run in the country. The movie also points to a solution to deal with this by the way of empathetic and responsible rulers taking over their betterment! Bose has handled the topic of children and their secret aspirations with intensity, proving that each child is unique in their own way. Based on their individual passion and skill, and if motivated and handled properly, these Children can be both sculptors and "Masters'' of their own destiny. The script (but for the exception of the inclusion of Telugu sentences at unexpected time and places), is also well supported by characters played by Dhritiman Chatterji, Heeba Shah and Gyanendra Tripathi. All in all, it's a simple and straightforward story which is surely worth a view for all aspirants who wish to scale & summit mountains that are tall, snow capped and almost every time in 'wuthering heights'. For the rest of us, an emotionally touching and lovely viewing experience. Image may contain: one or more people, text and nature
