Bose Venkat’s second film as director In the historical drama Sir. The frequently discussed subject of education is revisited in the film. The rural drama was released earlier today and the initial reactions have been mixed.
Gnanam (Vemal), a teacher who just emerged from widespread illiteracy, returns from Ramanathapuram to take over his father Arasan’s (Saravanan) government-aided school in the early 1980s in the remote village of Maangkollai in Pudukottai.
It’s a classic father-son tale, with the old man’s ways initially rejected and then eventually accepted, but in a different setting. The message being shown is about how education can fix all personal and financial problems in one’s life and how it should be accessible to all.
According to several reviews, Vemal gives a strong performance, managing both humorous and somber moments with ease. Despite his strong performance, the film is scattered all around the place and at times feels forced during some scenes.
With so many unwanted sequences and dragged shots, the film tries to overdeliver at times. All in all, while the issue addressed is huge and important, the film gets dragged which makes it a one-time watch for the viewers.
#Sir Movie - Good Lesson👍🏻#Saravana character superb❤️❤️❤️ Good story and presentation was good... Emotional scenes la nalla connect aachu... Twist predictable... Konjam flaws iruku...

#SIR: Bose Venkat's sophomore film is not as clean as his first, but it has good intentions in it about education and the struggle by teachers to keep schools in place despite oppositions by different groups. @ActorVemal has done a fine job, and the music by @Music_Siddhu stands… pic.twitter.com/3OMhspibI5
