Saindhav

With no arrogance at all, I felt that the director took lot of liberty for nothing. He thought he could deliver core emotional drama packed with action by doing too easy to guess plot and lot of repeated dialogues for no reason. It felt instead of focusing on drama it went more about world building. And to be honest its boring. None of the locations look real. And most importantly all the actors did fine job but on the over the top plot. It's so reckless of the writer, director and producer for extent. They could have bring much better product having all the star cast and crew. A big yawn at the end of the day.

A good attempt at blending action and emotion, but the execution could have been better! Venkatesh and Nawaz give good performances but the rest of the cast don't have much to offer. The action scenes are amazing and the cinematography is nice. There were a couple of emotional blocks that deliver, but due to no proper character development, it doesn't create a big impact. The background music by Santosh Narayanan is underwhelming. A better background score could have taken the movie a couple of notches higher. The climax gives a high with good performance from Venkatesh. Overall the movie is a decent watch but not as good as expected!

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.

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.

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 🙏
