Saakini Daakini

Hindi movies can have some ridiculous action scenes, if bahubali can get away with it, then by all means Shalini and damini should, but by all means, this movie had one of the best action scenes by women, no stunt doubles, its not perfect but you definitely see the work the actresses put in. Action choreography was good too, supporting characters are forgettable though. No dance number, it definitely was not needed. No stunt doubles, movie trope is familiar but not cliche, also they showed after math injuries, all in all, a good movie in its own rights, they are definitely things that could be improved but it's ok.

Basically in the Korean one, they had two men training and in this one, there's two women, the rest is pretty much the same other than this being overdramatic. As much as I liked the Korean (original) one, I just couldn't seem to like it a lot due to it not portraying a real life scenario, everything seemed a little too much, that's what I personally feel. The beginning when they were messing with each other could've been shortened a bit and their bonding time could've been extended a little as well. But one that must be mentioned is the effort the actresses took build up the structure of it was truly appreciable.

While Saakini Damini seemed like a comedy initially, the way the story develops into a serious theme of organ trafficking was phenomenal. Both the main protagonists evolved well from being a couple of bickering kids to serious cops. While the first 30min of the movie seemed slow, it quickly picks up pace and thereafter was a treat to watch. The action sequences were well done and seemed natural. Both Nivetha Thomas and Cassandra did justice to their respective roles. Nivetha's comic timing and witty remarks were funny. Kudos to the makers of the movie! Indian/English Cinema needs more such gems!

Great initiative - one of those rare women centric police/action-cum-comedy movie with realistic action sequences and fun moments. Love how light hearted the movie starts, and slowly starts churning out the real story. Starts off as a typical college/University based movie plot and evolves into a more serious story. Nivetha Thomas and Regina Cassandra show excellent command over the language (Telugu) and share a beautiful rapport on screen. If you are looking for something sensible and fun to watch, over lunch or over dinner, you could add this to your list! One of Netflix's good additions lately.

A simple story with nice comedy and actions. Both actresses were great and a nice to see such more movies in future that are more women actors than men. This will bring more equality in the entertainment industry too.

The film cinematography is also good but could have been better.

Even though movie is not in Hindi but it was great watching with subtitles and Bollywood should learn how to come with such stories and explore more than making same old masla.

Content should be interesting not boring and at the same time not too much of hype. Which this movie is able to deliver it right.

It's a go.
