    Underrated !!!

    As per ma view should appreciate cameraman and music director for sure . Apart from that nothing worth in this movie .More negative messages throught the movie on dialogues...encouraging egotism..not valuing relationship.. since experienced actors ,acted well .. Kindly asking director that don't spoil society like the way all spoiled already.. please try to convey positive and useful messages via cinema.. as per me cinema is a largest influence for most of the young people..as caste of Aparna she not even clear about her character ..as a fan of her I really feel very guilty for this one.as well couldnt shown on what basis they are getting in love each other if she can handle herself then why she got love on him then why showing possessed and y that much music plays for these.!!

    Simply best.

    One of the good movies I watched recently and its my first review about cinema. Simple story line, strong script, seamless direction, cinematography, back ground score and what else the performance of lead characters! Relatable story in every ones life and it feels real. Few comments what I believe could have made it more beautiful are - blending of songs in the first half, title of the movie, not so striking which gives us a push to watch the movie however after watching the it seems to be very apt. The second half is touching. Could have paid more attention on the marketing strategies to get more reach before the release. Thank you for the entire SG Team for giving us a nice movie. Worth spending nearly 2hrs. Go for it guys and take away few moments with you.

    You can map out the story from the beginning

    Sundari Gardens is one of those movies you can map out from the beginning; still, you watch it with the anticipation of being amazed, but you're sadly not 😔

    DELICIOUS

    -The film gently opened us to Suma's world, understanding her painful journey.

    The introductory scenes gave us a good sense of her purpose to defend her students and stand for justice

    -We'll never get tired of saying this, it's SO ENERGIZING to see a female-centered story in Mollywood!

    BLAND

    -So, Victor (Neeraj Madhav) was introduced in the film as the new English teacher, yet, we never saw him teach.

    He just kept on walking around the hallway, being conveniently located at the right places. We didn't quite grasp his goal or who he was

    -Music was ever-present and overpowering that it didn't allow us to digest the serene moments of the plot

    -The camera wasn't completing the narrative, e.g., it missed important close-ups that we had to pause and get closer to the screen to analyze some important details

    -The sequence of events was, for the most part, expected; nothing out of the ordinary.

    -Why was Suma's library always empty?🤔

    Old school romance never gets old and Sundari Gardens is just that and more.

    One thing that I loved the most about this movie is that usually the movie makers put a lot of effort in making the main actor look strong, but here in the most subtle way the makers keep reminding us of how strong the heroine is in this movie. Aparna has previously showed her prowess in pulling these type of characters and I absolutely love watching her but I hope she doesn't get typecasted. Neeraj has given a good performance as well, Though there wasn't much scope to show his acting skills here.

    Another best part about the movie is its songs. The songs were so beautifully done and the visuals enhanced the beauty of the movie is many frames.

    In short it's a well made , feel good movie.

    Could have been better.

    The movie is kinda dragging and boring. They could have done way better with more emotional scenarios and life search scenes.

    I am unable to connect with the romantic pairs as they lack chemistry and the movie just jumps here and there with songs thrown everywhere and loads of wine.

    Jude: You need to find better roles. This one does not do justice for you.

    Gardens? I was expecting more with nature, love for the surrounding and tharavadu. They just came in a few scenes.

    The Male lead character lacks dept and does not add the much-needed impact. He just smiles and moves on like butter.

    Overall it's very boring but a good attempt on certain social issues, which other film industries are scared to touch.
