Serious Men Netflix Movie Review:
This movie touches on various subjects, whether it is caste system, oppression of lower caste by upper caste, religion conversion, father son relationship, education, poverty, politician being politician, socio-economic status and race to be better.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui(as Ayyan Mani) is best as always, accompanied by sweta basu(as Anuja Dhavre) the Politician’s daughter and the star performer is obviously Aakshath Das(as Adi Mani)
Watch it as it’s not your usual love or thriller story, it’s fresh story with perfect casting, it has few dull moments but overall story is interesting and brilliant dialogues like “Public jisko samajhti nahin hain, usko salaam thokti hai; respect karti hain.”, a ‘small molecule in the world”, “for the sake of science”, “I can’t deal with primitive minds like you” “your anger was right but not your actions”, “tu apne talent se shine karna” & more.
