Vaathi Movie review
As you dive into Venky Atluri's latest film Vaathi (also known as SIR in Telugu), you'll quickly pick up on a pattern that persists throughout the movie. Venky kicks off the story in a relaxed and subtle manner. In 2022, three boys come across a box of video cassettes, and upon playing one of them, we see the back of a teacher scribbling trigonometry equations on a blackboard. It's Dhanush, and he briefly turns towards the camera for a split second, but the coveted hero introduction shot falls flat. The mystery surrounding the cassettes takes the boys to the District Collector's office, where we once again catch a glimpse of Dhanush in a photograph on the wall.
