Sembi
is
a
movie
directed
by
Prabhu
Solomon
and
starring
Kovai
Sarala.
Living
in
a
beautiful
mountain
village,
Veerayi's
granddaughter
is
sexually
assaulted;
After
this
they
both
leave
their
place
and
travel
by
bus
to
Dindigul.
The
cruelty
that
surrounds
them
is
chasing
them
all
the
way
they
go.
Meanwhile,
one
of
the
fellow
passengers
in
the
bus,
a
lawyer
(Ashwin)
helps
them;
Did
they
finally
get
justice
for
their
atrocities?
The
answer
to
whether
or
not
is
the
story
of
Sembi.
Prabhu
Salomon
established
himself
as
an
attention-grabbing
director
by
directing
films
like
Maina,
Kumki
and
Kayal
in
his
own
style.
He
has
handled
the
same
style
in
the
film
Sembi
as
well.
His
film
will
feature
the
beauty
of
nature,
a
local
bus
and
the
normal
things
that
happen
there.
In
that
way,
Sembi
is
also
an
Agmark
Prabhu
Solomon's
film.
Kovai
Sarala's
performance
as
Sembi's
grandmother
is
the
foundation
of
the
film.
Earlier,
she
has
dabbled
in
comedy
and
has
taken
on
a
serious
role
in
Sembi.
People's
expectations
on
her
were
not
in
vain.
She
reminds
of
the
legendary
actress
Manorama
in
many
places
with
her
amazing
acting
skills.
Manorama's
nuances
in
making
the
audience
emotional
is
reflecting
in
Kovai
Sarala's
perfmoance
throughout
the
film.
Ashwin,
who
came
to
voice
the
injustice,
remained
silent
in
the
first
half,
sitting
like
an
advertisement
model
and
delivering
the
dialogue.
Then,
he
is
given
a
small
fight
scene
in
the
second
half,
but
it
doesn't
suit
him
at
all.
Ashwin
should
have
given
a
more
refined
performance
as
the
lawyer.
Thambi
Ramaiah
usually
makes
people
laugh
with
his
timing
comedy.
Nila,
who
played
Sembi,
has
done
a
wonderful
job
as
a
tormented
girl
in
her
first
film.
The
film's
villains
and
their
dependents
have
shown
natural
villainy.
Also,
the
people
traveling
in
the
bus
have
acted
beautifully.
But
whether
such
a
thing
could
happen
in
a
bus
seemed
a
bit
artificial.
Niwas's
background
music
brought
life
to
the
climax
scenes.
The
songs
featured
in
the
film
were
modest.
Phoenix
Prabhu,
the
stunt
director
designed
perfect
fight
sequences.
His
efforts
in
making
the
audience
believable
tribal
girl
fight
was
excellent.
The
shocking
bus
accident
scene
in
the
climax
scene
was
realistic.
If
you
want
to
enjoy
the
view
of
the
town
from
the
theater
without
going
to
Kodaikanal,
you
must
watch
this
movie.
In
the
name
of
talking
about
social
issues,
many
films
are
grinding
the
dough.
But
Sembi
has
the
distinction
of
not
making
it
to
this
list.
To
witness
Kowvi
Sarala's
diverse
performance
and
to
join
Prabhu
Solomon's
nature
journey,
definitely
go
to
the
cinema
and
watch
this
film.
Overall,
Sembi
is
a
film
that
gives
voice
to
the
voiceless.
Let's
hope
Kovai
Sarala
to
get
more
performance
oriented
films
in
future
like
Sembi.
She
is
one
such
actress
who
needs
to
be
celebrated
like
Manorama.
Thank
you
Prabhu
Solomon
for
being
a
pioneer
in
bringing
a
different
Kovai
Sarala
to
the
audience.
