SIR Movie Review & Rating
Analysis
Sir has a very predictable plot of a teacher going against the odds to give the best education to the students. This plot is nicely woven by Venky Atluri into the narrative. As he has got an actor like Dhanush, he has made sure that he writes solid emotional scenes and gives a good message. In this department, Sir scores good marks.
But in all this, he has left out the main conflict point. The fight between Dhanush and Samutrakani is not that great. The director should have added more masala to this angle and created good confrontational scenes. Rather, he focuses on the emotions which get boring after a while. But Dhanush takes us over the finishing line.
Sir has amazing music by GV Prakash. Every song sounds so well and has been shot well also. The camera work, visuals, and small-town setup are showcased in a beautiful manner by the director. The social message of education is a must and is nicely told in the film. But it also gets preachy after a while. The film is a serious drama and has no scope for entertainment.
The manner in which Venky Atluri brings out the pain the government colleges go through and how the rich educational institutions take things for granted and demand the situation is nicely told. Sir has a predictable premise and nothing new to showcase. But Dhanush makes sure that his performance lifts the film and makes it at least watchable.
Bottom Line – Routine story with good emotions and a message
SIR Movie Rating: 2.75
