This Mammootty flick is a family drama filled with style,colors and laughs.But it fails miserably in the story department.The Script lacks finesse and strength.If you r to tell the story in one line ,that's all that happens in the movie.Debut director Aashiq Abu fails to make an impression with his cool shots and family drama.Mammootty as the lethargic Crime branch officer ,is only a commendable performance.His acting skills are not put to use in this one.The Kid's performance was cool and he's a good actor for his age.He was the centre point of the movie and he didn't disappoint.As a duo,the megastar and the mega-kid sizzled.Finally,part of it was boring part of it was fun,this movie certainly deserves a family visit.

Big B was a pathbreaking movie considering the visual style and action.It was a fine work but not a great movie.But SAJ disappoints in all the fields.I admit it has style, but unlike Big B the movie doesn't have any magic moments.U have Mohanlal walking in slow motion the entire time.The Action scenes were not thrilling,the plot was so stupefying,it's just the old wine in new bottle.Mohanlal's performance was intense.Cinematography was good ,Amal Neerad himself did it.S.N.Swamy is outdated.It was a wrong decision to hand him the scripting duties which i think may have made Amal Neerad confined.The Script had utterly failed the Visual Style of SAJ with bad plot uncool one liners, and idiotic humour.Forgettable Songs,Background score was heavy,gave me headaches.The Chemistry between Mohanlal and Bhavana was ridiculous & unneeded.Altogether SAJ is a disappointing movie,doesn't deliver at all,go in if you like Mohanlal and some cool shots!
