Sembi is a Tamil movie starring Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan and Kovai Sarala in prominent roles. It is a drama directed by Prabhu Solomon forming part of the crew.

Prabu Solomon is one filmmaker who loves telling earthy stories that are set away from city life. He brings out various emotions through his characters — who mostly look real and intense. Sembi is no different. We can’t help but travel alongside with passengers in the bus, who are shattered by the story of 10-year-old Sembi.

Though the narrative weakens a bit in the second half and a few sequences are illogical, the film has its heart at the right place and keeps us engaged.

Ten-year-old Sembi and her grandmother Veerayi (Kovai Sarala), an apiarist, live peacefully amidst nature in the hilly regions of Kodaikanal. They lead a beautiful life until three influential miscreants, who crave for sexual pleasures, shatter all their dreams.
