Saripodhaa Sanivaaram

Saripodha Sanivaaram delivers a fast-paced and engaging story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The screenplay is well-crafted, ensuring the plot moves swiftly without feeling rushed. While the movie excels in delivering thrills and excitement, there is still some room for improvement, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

The performances are solid, with the cast bringing their characters to life convincingly. The cinematography is visually appealing, capturing the essence of the story effectively. The action sequences are well-executed, providing plenty of adrenaline-pumping moments.

However, the movie could benefit from a deeper exploration of its characters and themes. Some plot points feel underdeveloped, leaving the audience wanting more. Additionally, the pacing could be slightly adjusted in certain scenes to allow for a more impactful emotional connection.

Overall, Saripodha Sanivaaram is an enjoyable action-packed movie with a captivating story. While it falls short of perfection, it still delivers a thrilling cinematic experience that will leave you entertained.

Right from the word go, you can feel Vivek Athreya Sir's narration. For those who have admired his previous works like Brochevaruevarura and Ante Sundaraniki you will definitely like this on a better level. For those first-time watchers you might feel a bit of a stretched circle but trust me it is needed, the way it proceeds justifies it.

Story is very conveniently poured into screenplay although some part of it could have been better and racy but when overall it is seen it is nice. Vivek Athreya Sir's previous scripts and this movie has good layered writing and his writing has rightly improved and hopefully if some aspect of screenplay improves then it might fit his story in an more deserving way. But one of the greatest thing that Vivek Sir did through this film was to show that great mass action movie doesn't always require a heavy badass dialogue.

Nani anna and SJ Suryah Sir are too good in this film. Nani anna has this impeccable mass angle in him which was very reserved in him and this movie brings the best out of him. There are good action sequences which he did so well although action choreography could have been better. It suits the tone of the film, but the flow misses sometimes. SJ Suryah Sir is one of those actors who can pull of any role with ease and this role was apt for him. His aspect of villainism is something I really admire. He makes you fear like any villain should. His cruelty is really a benchmark to achieve for such roles.

Priyanka Mam and Sai Kumar Sir's roles help progress the story nicely. This is one of those movies where the lady character is not only used to forward love track but has good point for entire movie. Love track is decent with a few good gigs and father's Pov aspects are nice. Sometimes such characters are really a driving force and these films they both serve the aspect very well. The mother character is also not simply limited to childhood montage shots but is brought through flashbacks and ideologies wherever required in the movie which is nice to watch. Sokulapalem village is nicely used. Serves a good aspect in the film.

Action choreography is pretty good with a lot of hits and a very few misses. Interval and Climax Fights are a treat to watch. The picturization and editing really helps serve an engaging watch.

One of the Backbones of this film is its Music. Background music is just riveting and so powerful. Such good elevating music really boosts the scenes to quite a different level. Climax score is just goosebumps. Really fantastic of that part. Music as of only songs is also really nice and is used where required pretty nicely.

Supporting Character like Murali Sharma Sir, Aditi Balan mam, Ajay Sir and Harshavardhan Sir do clear justice to their role.

Final note: Quite meets the standard of good commercial film.

Waiting for more of Vivek Athreya and Nani anna combination. It's time for a hattrick anna.

This movie is about a guy who controls his anger to zero with all the circumstances to only explode on a Saturday. This was promise he made for his mother for a very good reason. Nani did a fine job and Vivek Atreya's writing is spot on. His brilliance in connection the dots and bring it table with great execution is commendable. S J Surya is a blast in the movie, this man breaks all the barriers to perform like a super star. His perfection at being a CI Daya is trip not to miss. This film only shines with Surya's touch of a madness, he is true master of acting. This guy must be capitalised to full extent. Background music and a cinematography is top notch. These aspects in the movie are icing on the cake. Again Vivek and Nani brings a blast in to theatre.

First of all Jakes bejoy background score at its peaks, we will get goosebumps in every action scene , he just elevated the movie to next level.

Nani did it again , if a movie is coming to theater from nani then we can go to theaters blindly , his selection of script and directors is too good.

SJ surya , he will definitely dominate the main lead in any movie , his acting, his energy , his aggression all packed into TNT.

We must talk about cinematography , man those visuals are kickass, thos camera angles, set locations , they have taken at most care in every aspect.

And finally the sole of this movie VIVEK ATHREYA, his vision is next level, he has given all the action in 1st half and he showed the drama in 2nd half perfectly balanced the movie with his writing.

Potharu andharu theaters ki potharu.

Overboiled, Overcooked and Overdone Vigilante fare! My IMDb rating 6.5/10

'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (2024) is Nani Garu's second collaboration with director Vivek Athreya Garu after 'Ante Sundaraniki' (2022).

'Ante Sundariniki' was a nice rom-com but failed commercially. This must have prompted the duo to go for a mass masala entertainer this time.

Some actors draw you to theaters just with their screen presence. Nani Garu is one such actor. You just want to watch him do his thing!

Right from the film's announcement to its promotions and release, Nani Garu created an interest for the film thro' out its journey and managed to sustain the euphoria for it.

'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' starts of well but the film loses its voice and steam immediately after the break. It meanders and meanders to a dreary, routine, outdated and clichéd climax reminiscent of vigilante films of 1980s, 1990s! The 2nd half really tests your patience.

The film's lengthy run-time of 2hr 54 min makes it a painful watch! For a Nani Garu's film this run-time is unacceptable!

What were they thinking?

PLUSES: Concept of channelizing Hero's anger on a saturday (just once per week) and thus turning him into a vigilante is a good point.

Catchy film title. Piques your interest.

Nani, S. J. Suryah and Sai Kumar Garu Jakes Bejoy Garu's Background Score.

Fight sequences.

Cinematography and Editing are okay.

MINUSES: Routine vigilante story, preachy.

Convoluted screenplay, drag.

Needless sister sentiment.

Redundant fights.

Murali Sharma Garu is a miscast.

Lengthy run-time.

Audience will disconnect in the 2nd half.

Nani mania is real! So even though this film is pretty average, it will do well in South India and overseas both in theaters and OTT.

But, i dont think the Hindi version will do well in the Hindi-belt. It's gonna die in theaters! It might do well on OTT hopefully.
