Martin Luther King Review in short: The Sampoornesh movie – is a movie that makes you want to Change things: And highlights the power of voting.
MLK (Martin Luther King) is the movie everyone’s talking about as it elevates the election mood in the state of Telangana which is just a month away. It’s funny, but it’s also got a serious message. Director Puja Kolluru’s debut film keeps the essence of the original story by Madonne Ashwin. It’s all about how politics, caste, and class work in small towns, and how even one vote can make a big difference.
The main character in ‘MLK’ is Smile, played by Sampoornesh Babu. He’s just an ordinary guy, but the story shows how even ordinary people can do extraordinary things. The movie is set in a small village where there’s always some fight going on between two groups, the Northerners and the Southerners. They fight over silly things, and caste seems to be more important to them than anything else.
Even though the movie doesn’t say it directly, it shows us how these fights and attitudes happen in many places all over the country. In the village, Smile and his friend Bata are treated badly because people think they are from a lower caste. But then things start to change when the postmaster, Vasantha, gives Smile a new name, Martin Luther King. Suddenly, everyone wants Smile’s vote because it can decide who wins the elections.
Martin Luther King : Capturing the Rural Charisma through Dialect and Characterization
The director doesn’t change the story much, but she makes sure it’s still really funny. The actors led by Sampoornesh Babu all look and sound like real people from the village. Some parts of the movie Martin Luther King make fun of things we see every day, like using a mobile phone as a torch or forgetting about important people like Mahatma Gandhi.
The movie also shows us that even when good things happen, they can sometimes make people lazy. It’s a good thing Smile has his friend Bata to remind him of what’s important. The film has some special things for people from this area, like the way they talk and the things they like, but it still feels real for everyone.
The music in the Martin Luther King is simple and easy to remember. Sometimes it’s like the music from our grandparents’ time, and sometimes it’s like the songs we hear in our villages. It helps us feel what Smile is feeling in different parts of the story. The way the movie looks and sounds, it’s like we’re really there in that village with Smile and his friends.
Watch Martin Luther King for Hilarious Take on Politics
Some parts of the movie might seem the same, but at the end, it makes us think that even though things can be hard, we can still make them better. ‘MLK’ shows us that even a small thing like voting can make a big change if we all do it together.
