After the successful Ante Sundaraniki, Nani and director Vivek Athreya have teamed up again for Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, which was released on Thursday on a pan-India level. With overseas premieres already completed, how is the talk around Saripodhaa Sanivaaram?
Mass Action Drama:
Unlike the usual light-hearted emotional and comedic films from Nani and Vivek Athreya, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is being described by netizens as a mass action drama. They are tweeting that every scene featuring Nani and SJ Suryah together on screen is electrifying.
Netizens are saying that the hero’s introduction scene, the interval twist, and the climax action episode all give goosebumps. They are commenting that the racy screenplay and high-intensity action sequences keep the thrill alive until the very end.
Nani’s Performance in a Mass Role:
A netizen praised Nani’s acting in the role of Surya, stating that he nailed the mass role. They mentioned that Nani appears in a completely different mass avatar compared to his previous films. Netizens are also commenting that SJ Suryah’s villainous role is a perfect match for Nani’s character. They are saying that Suryah, as the cunning police officer Dayanand, steals the show.
Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone:
People are saying that director Vivek Athreya has stepped out of his typical comfort zone and created a unique storyline with Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. They are tweeting that the hero-villain conflict and some of the twists are quite surprising. The love story between the hero and heroine is presented in a different way, according to tweets. A netizen mentioned that the director kept the second half gripping.
Three-Hour Run Time:
However, some netizens are pointing out that the three-hour run time is a drawback for the film. They mention that the first half, including Nani’s flashback episode and pre-climax scenes, feels slow. They believe that the director took too much time to introduce the hero’s character.
They are also saying that the story and twists are mostly predictable. On the positive side, overseas audiences have highlighted Jakes Bejoy’s background score as a major plus. Overall, netizens are calling Saripodhaa Sanivaaram a time-pass action movie worth watching for Nani and SJ Suryah’s performances.
