Sorgavaasal

Sorgavaasal (2024) is a crime drama that marks the directorial debut of Sidharth Vishwanath. The film stars RJ Balaji in a lead role, showcasing a departure from his usual comedic roles.

The film's premise is intriguing, revolving around a prison and the games played between the inmates. However, the execution falls short of expectations. The story struggles to establish a compelling connection with the characters, particularly Parthi, the central figure. His motivations and journey lack depth, making it difficult to empathize with his plight.

The performances are mixed. RJ Balaji is earnest in his portrayal of Parthi, but his performance is uneven, particularly in the emotional scenes. Selvaraghavan delivers a solid performance in a supporting role, but the other characters lack the necessary menace to create a truly gripping atmosphere.

The film's technical aspects are commendable. The cinematography by Prince Anderson is impressive, particularly the two-tone lighting that adds to the film's genre aesthetic. The music by Christo Xavier is effective in creating a tense atmosphere.

While Sorgavaasal is an ambitious attempt at a crime drama, it ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying cinematic experience. The lack of emotional depth and a somewhat underwhelming climax hinder the film's impact. Despite its flaws, the film showcases the potential of Sidharth Vishwanath as a director, and his future projects will be worth watching.

This movie has best screen play and strong story plot. Acting wise RJ balaji did very well. Natti is came as a judge and did well his job as well as better. Selvaragavan looks good. Karunas tried different negative roll. The main character of sorgavaasal is karunas. The two lines of karunas dialogue is full movie story. Sharafudeen act as sunil kumar. The SP of prison, little bit ego character. In this movie has lot of characters, also that is the need of story. The sorgavaasal will be best in RJ balaji's carrier. BGM is good. SFX and VFX Looks better. Totally SORGAVAASAL top of notch in November 2024...

This movie is actually a prison drama. This film tells us about how a common man goes to jail for a crime which he did not do. First let us discuss about acting. RJ Balaji came out of his comfort zone and acted very well. Selvaragavan role was also very nice. Everyone acted well in whatever roles were given to them. The music was nice. But I didn't like the climax. At first half it was average because they took too much of the time to introduce the characters. At Second half the story was going in good pace. And at the end again it went to average. Overall it is a must watch movie because like Rj Balaji character in this movie, many innocent people's comes to jail for the crime which they didn't do any they will stay in jail for lifetime. This thing will be explained in this movie fantastically.

A movie that gives an insight on if jails can act as centers of rehabilitation or may pull even innocents into the world of crime n ruin their lives forever. Story revolves around an innocent person who is imprisoned in a case n how he gets into the loop of crime in the process of proving his innocence to get back with his family. Quite a raw movie! I could only thing if this is how jails function, then they are the real living hell for any. Didn't feel like an unwanted movie. Worth a watch. Originally a Tamil movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi as well. Available in Netflix, My ratings 7/10!

The film felt realistic, and the making was great. It's inspired from an event happened in the late 90s. I don't want to mention it here, as it can be a spoiler. It's good to see R. J Balaji in a serious role like this. There is good solid supporting actors from Mollywood to support him in this venture and I was surprised when I saw Sharaffudhin and Hakkim Shah on the screen.

The film is a bit slow-paced but it doesn't demand fast-forwarding due to reasons like- compelling screenplay, storyline which keeps the audience 100 percent on the screen, focussing on the dialogues of all the characters. Selvaraghavan also plays an important role in this film.
