Saindhav

Hi guys, I was watched the movie in the day it was released.. I went to the movie to have a Action pack of Sailesh Kolanu's way he done HIT series but seriously I totally disappointed 😔, Yes the story is Good! Taking out the different concepts is not a matter but doing n execute it ina way people like is the thing!! Sailesh went here.. From the initial beginning it went good wid story but by the pre interval & interval portion everyone wil think.. IS IT INTERVAl 👀 Along side the 2nd half was just overhyping !!

One thing I loved about this file was Emotions &diff concept Didn't expect this much of dullness theatre experience from Sailesh.. looking forward to come back wid rock hit..

Thanks 🙏

Though the idea of Saindhav is good and has a lot of potential, the director couldn't come up with an interesting narrative. The screenplay is flat for the most part. The world-building isn't done well, and the first half an hour is slow and unexciting. Fights were too violent.

Saindhav has a bunch of great actors, but none of them make any impact due to the way their characterizations are written. Andrea Jeremiah, Shraddha Srinath, Ruhani Sharma, Jisshu Sengupta, Arya, Mukesh Rishi, and Jayaprakash deserved much better roles. There are logical errors in the story as well.

For any action film, the background score is very vital in enhancing the impact. Unfortunately, the background score provided by Santosh Narayanan is pretty bad and hardly adds any value to the film. In fact, the impact of neatly designed action blocks was brought down with the background score. In a few important moments, it was almost non-existent.

Disappointing experience with the movie "Saindhav." It seems like the film tried to emulate the style of "John Wick" with an Indian twist but fell short in several areas.

Direction and Execution: Despite the director Sailesh's previous success with "HIT," "Saindhav" didn't live up to expectations. The action-packed approach lacked the depth and storytelling that audiences appreciate.

Acting: Victory Venkatesh's performance seemed one-dimensional, with the same expressions throughout the movie, which detracted from the overall impact.

Storyline: The movie's pace was too fast, making it difficult for the audience to engage with the story. It seemed like the focus was more on action rather than developing a compelling narrative.

Positive Aspects: The appearance of Arya and the showcasing of luxury cars like Lamborghini, Mustang, and Bentley were some of the few highlights.

It's clear that a well-balanced movie needs more than just action sequences to be successful. Storytelling, character development, and emotional depth are crucial elements that resonate with the audience.

Seriously, what a downfall of Sailesh Kolanu From HIT: The First Case to Saindhav! Saindhav is a cliched movie with cliched characters, cliched treatment, and cliched storytelling in a cliched setup.

I remember coming out of HIT: The Second Case's premier show with bit of a disappointment. But, now in comparison with Saindhav, it seems like an absolute masterpiece.

I don't know why all these young directors make the same mistake of making these outdated scripts when working with the senior actors. I get it that these senior actors have large fan bases, etc., but, you need to understand that these large fan bases have brains too. They dont want outdated content especially when paying premium to get the tickets for the whole family and making an effort to move to the theatres.

I hope and wish Sailesh will comeback with an absolute gem like HIT Chapter 1.

Saindhav (Victory Venkatesh) has temporarily retired his Saiko avatar to work as a crane operator, supporting his family consisting of a wife and a daughter. There is a cartel illegally training kids by giving them arms and trading them to terrorist outfits. Saiko used to work for this cartel before quitting. After knowing the cartel's dirty operation, Saindhav steals their containers and in the meantime finds out his daughter is suffering from a medical condition which requires an expensive treatment. The story is set up with the baddies wanting the containers and targeting the ailing girl to get it which only allows Saiko to come out of retirement. Bloodshed ensues and how Saiko serves up cold blooded justice forms rest of the story.

Saindhav has the right idea but it falters immensely with the weak screenplay that fails to engage till the end. I wouldn't say overstuffed but it has all the ingredients this particular genre demands to churn out a blockbuster action entertainer. The execution is simply not there as the flow keeps getting jarring and the scene transition end up having no impact. There are bunch of baddies and an over the top Nawazuddin Siddique who tries to entertain throughout but his character arc is messy, a casualty due to the hype lead character gets. For a thriller it's uneven and the baddies are shown to be no match to Saiko even with the setbacks he receives. The dialogues felt weak and too much bloodshed couldn't elevate the bland narrative.
