Netflix film Sir  really gets you asking the ultimate question, "Is honey ever enough?" When I get-go saw the trailer, I was immediately intrigued by it and added it to my must-watch listing . The trailer itself makes you lot wonder if this is another one of those films where a rich man uplifts an under-privileged woman? Merely once you start watching information technology, you find out information technology's much more than just a love story.

An unusual but captivating storyline

The story revolves around Ratna played by Tillotama Shome , a widowed domestic assist who finds herself in a complicated relationship with her boss Ashwin played by Vivek Gomber, who has just returned from America after breaking off his engagement.

Although this film is a love story, it is one of a kind. We watch the film primarily through Ratna's perspective, an uneducated village adult female who left her home shortly after her husband'due south death and cull to move to the urban center of Mumbai with a dream to become a way designer. But her lack of education turns her into a maid. And it is her occupation that becomes her identity.

The film  established Ratna, the docile help who has a dream and Ashwin, a melancholic human, who doesn't seem to know what he wants as an individual first, before he ventures into a romantic connection.

Unravelling class divide between Ratna and Ashwin

Sir addresses social issues that occur in our daily lives. While Ashwin may be kind to Ratna, she is all the same a maid for the world. It's but when Ashwin's friend Vicky asks him to wait at their relationship from her perspective that he realises his privilege. The movie throws light on the challenges faced by lower-class women. Ratna and her friend Lakshmi may be obedient servants to their employers, but they are individuals with their own dreams and a unique humour, despite their circumstances.

The two symbolise farthermost opposite ends of the social spectrum. Director Gera manages to show both sides of their story but focuses on social problems faced by Ratna. The social divide is shown in a realistic manner.

Brilliant acting chops

While the two may have barely touched or spoken to each other, their emotional connectedness is palpable. Both Shome and Gomber bring fantabulous acting chops to the film, striking a perfect residuum between when to reveal and when to conceal. They added moments of compassion and sincerity throughout the moving-picture show.

The complete embodiment of Ratna by Tillotama Shome is what makes Sir brilliant. She portrays Ratna's range of emotions very realistically. On the other hand, Vivek Gomber's Ashwin is seen as someone who is innocently looking for an emotional connection but finds information technology in the and then-called 'wrong place.' His acting is as well faultless, and in the end, I constitute myself rooting for the two.

The film addresses the importance of companionship, irrespective of course, merely it is the class that determines if it is appropriate. The motion-picture show highlighted the obstacles the lower-class faces in achieving their dreams perfectly through Ratan'southward fight to go a fashion designer. Despite the love story, the depiction of class divide remains in your heed long afterward the film  is over.
