One director who enjoys telling stories in a rural setting is Prabu Solomon. He expresses a range of emotions through his characters, most of whom appear vivid and real. Sembi is the same. We can't help but ride on the bus with other passengers who are devastated by the tale of 10-year-old Sembi. The picture has its heart in the right place and keeps us interested even though the storyline falters a little in the second half and several situations seem inexplicable.

Sembi, 10, and her grandma Veerayi (Kovai Sarala), an apiarist, reside in harmony amidst nature in Kodaikanal's hilly highlands. They lead a perfect existence up until three powerful miscreants who are addicted to sexual gratification crush all of their hopes. Sembi's grandma is forced to drop the lawsuit after being hit by a police officer, leaving her little choice except to beat the cop to death. The two make their getaway and board the Anbu bus, which travels from kodaikanal to Dindigul. Can the diverse group of bus passengers, despite political interference, bring justice to the indigenous woman and her defenseless granddaughter?

There is no doubt that Sembi has been seen before. The characters and story's setting, however, are novel in this instance. When Veerayi instructs Sembi on how to extract honey from honeycomb in the first scene, we immediately fall in love with her and her qualities. The first few scenes' visual spectacular gives us a glimpse into their existence. It's a wonderful scene when Veeraiyi beats up the police officer and flees with her granddaughter. The director, however, fails to preserve her characteristics throughout, which is unfortunate. It's acceptable to include a sort of saviour in the second half, but it's also critical to strengthen Veeraiyi's character and make her seem like a rebel against a stifling culture.

A treat to behold is Kovai Sarala's powerful performance. She has done the part a great deal of justice and carries the entire movie. Sembi is unquestionably a sincere endeavor because the director was able to make us experience the characters' suffering. The picturesque locations of kodaikanal make for excellent cinematography (Jeevan). Nivas K Prasanna's music and background score enhance the emotional moments. Applause is due to the makeup artist and costume designer for bringing some realism to the screen.
