Release

Home media

Sir was premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 6 December 2024. [17]

Marketing

On 4 April 2024, a first-look poster with an intro-video was released featuring Vimal as a teacher after Vaagai Sooda Vaa (2011) in the village Mangollai, where education is refused by the name of God. [18] [19] The film teaser was released on 19 June 2024 [20] [21] and the trailer got released on 18 September 2024 after a pre-release event in Chennai. [22] [23] Ahead of the film's release, another trailer was released on 17 October, revealing why the teaching profession means a lot to the titular character, Ma. Po Si. [24]

Reception

Abhinav Subramanian of Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Sir is a watchable film with its share of drawbacks, offering a familiar yet mildly engaging take on the power of education in rural India." [25] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News 18 gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Sir has a noble cause at its core, the execution makes it a yarnfest, and instead of getting the catharsis such social commentary aims to provide, the film invokes a sense of guilt for feeling so." [26]

Sreejith Mullappilly of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The film explores themes of social inequality and the importance of education, but its violent resolution and simplistic characterisation undermine its potential as a social reform drama." [27] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Despite talking about the importance of education, Sir becomes an irresponsible film that forgets what it wants to profess in the chaos of violence." [28]

Controversies

On 14 June 2024, the makers announced on a change of title from Ma Po Si to a new one Sir, after the veteran politician, freedom fighter and poet Mylai Ponnuswamy Sivagnanam aka Ma.Po.Si's granddaughter Parameshwari expressing her concern for using her grandfather's name. [7] [29] In the title-change clarification video released by the director, he expressed the title-change is due to reasons that are all happy ones and not problematic. [6] [29] He further added that, the new title Sir has been made after careful consideration and planning to align with our vision for the project. [30] [31]
