      What a performance by Kovai Sarala Ma'am!!

      I am just speechless, these days we get very few movies on such topics, the actors who worked on this film are totally amazing and here I'm specially for Kovai Sarala Ma'am she deserves an award for such mind blowing performance never imagined her in such films apart of commedy movies. Such a legendary actor she is. I am her fan now almost watches every film of her even if I don't understand the language she speaks in I watch it with and without subtitles just for her because she is sweetheart, and being a mother of a girl child now I will definitely suggest people to watch this masterpiece out.

      Must Watch Emotional Drama Showcasing Reality

      Sembi is a movie that strives to give audiences all the feels. It's is a sad reality check, for what happens on-screen is what happens off as well.

      Prabu Solomon sir has done a good job in capturing and conveying the essence of the film to the audience. The script is the true hero of the film. The screen play was really good as well especially in the in the 1st half and in the climax.

      Nivas K Prasanna has also done amazing work with the songs and BGM in the film which also aid in conveying the essence of the film.

      Kovai Sarala ma'am & Nila have given award-winning performances. Ashwinkumar's performance was really good as well and his character is the driving force in the 2nd half. As a fan of his, I couldn't be more proud of the amount of courage, honesty & determination he's shown. I wish & pray for him to do many more such movies in the future. All other actors have performed their role to their best capabilities.

      The cinematography/visuals & the bus stunt sequence are really worth mentioning.

      Overall this film is a must watch for everyone who want to see quality cinema. If you think that the film will have over the top dialogues, stunt sequences, romance, unnecessary songs or item numbers then you are mistaken and will be disappointed.

      The film showcases the reality with some cinematic liberty and indicates the importance of the society coming together to help someone in an detrimental situation and to bring justice to the victim irrespective of age, gender, colour, creed, race, religion or status. At the end of the film you will be left with shed/unshed tears and hope that there will always be someone "unnamed" to help and god to protect and that the truth will always win.

      Must watch movie

      Very well said the story behind pocso act. Ashwin acting is good in this movie as an advocate.

      Kovai Sarla mam as usual done a great job. There is no flaw in this movie. Every one want to see this movie.

      Prabu Solomon always gives his best in different journal.

      I thought that vilians will win in the climax while watching the movie. But director given justice to the character.

      Great work by the sembi team.

      Real face of the politicians has been shown in this movie. All are equal, that we should understand.

      After seen the movie I hate more the politicians and the police.

      As we are in multiculture country, everyone should treat equally.

      Known storyline but the different narrative and screenplay

      The movie creates lasting impressions on audience. Sembi is the old lady from the downtrodden society. Her girl grand child is brutally raped by spoiled young adults from political families. The narrative about how bus passengers from different walks of life imbibing the pain the girl child went through is laudable. The transformation of each and every passenger from a spectator to being a part of bringing justice to the girl is classic. The scene shifting passenger between moving buses lack efforts. Kovai sarala and Ashwin did a neat performance. General Awareness of the POCSO act is another good message conveyed!!

      A Heart-breaking Story

      Sembi is a well-directed, acted, produced, and heart-hitting story. It presents harsh reality of poor people and also motivates humans to be humans and behave as humans. This movie has a simple but strong plot catching your attention from the beginning till the end of the story. The characters are life-like and their acting catches our attention throughout the whole of the story. It makes you cry and breaks your heart immediately and frequently through its actions. It introduces us the great POCSO Act of Indian Constitution weaved and made to protect children from insane rapists and molesters. I request everyone to watch this movie which is available on Hotatar OTT.
