Saripodhaa Sanivaaram (2024): What's Behind

Nani who is riding high with back-to-back successes, Dasara and Hi Nanna has now arrived with 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. He collaborated with his 'Ante Sundaraniki' director, Vivek Athreya for this full-on action film. The promotional material and the title have generated curiosity right from its inception. Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari with music by Jakes Bejoy, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram succeeded in drawing the attention of audiences. The film hit the theatres on August 29. Let's delve into the review to known how the film turned out to be.

Nani's Saripodhaa Sanivaaram: Story Review 

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is about what happens when a guy named Surya played by Nani who only vents his anger on Saturday crosses paths with a monster like police officer Daya played by SJ Suryah.

Surya (Nani) has had anger issues since childhood. His ailing mother wanted to keep his anger in check, and took a promise that he must vent his anger on only one day during the week. That's how the 'Sanivaaram' concept was introduced to the film. Daya (SJ Suryah) is a notoriously rude police official. How the paths of Surya and Daya cross with each other and Why Surya picks a fight with Daya. Where did Charu Latha (Priyanka Mohan) and the people of 'Sokulapalem', come into the story forms the crux of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'.

SJ Suryah's Saripodhaa Sanivaaram: Artists Review 

Nani is at his usual best. In fact there is nothing special to rave about him particularly in this film. He looks simple and good like many of his films, emotes effortlessly. The only difference we find on his part is he does some heavy action in this film in a commendable manner. 

It is SJ Suryah who walks away with all honours. He nailed his act as devilish cop. His histrionics, dialogues delivery and face-off scenes with Nani are a scream. He is a perfect choice for the role. Priyanka Mohan is okay in her role. Though she is not a typical commercial film heroine, her character feels underdeveloped. She did decent in her role.

Others like Sai Kumar, Aditi Balan, Harshawardhan, and Shivaji Raja played their roles adequately and added more value to the proceedings. 

Vivek Athreya's Saripodhaa Sanivaaram: Technicians Review 

The film’s visuals are topnotch. Cinematographer Murali brings cool colour tones especially during night effect fights . It is Jakes Bejoy who stands as one of the main highlights of the film with his rousing background music.  He enhances many scenes with his music. Editing is neat but still there is room to make the film look more crisp and engaging. 

Director Vivek Athreya's writing is what made 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' a winner at the end. His engaging screenplay despite known story but a 'Saturday' twist to it and the way he connected the dots as the film progresses will surprise the audience. When we came to a point during the interval, what's there in the second half as most of the film has been locked. There is only room for the face-off between hero and villain in the second half, Vivek came with surprises that keep us glued to the plot.  

But, the complaint about the Dircetor regarding lengthy and dragged scenes has been continued in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' too. But, the engaging screenplay, surprises in the second half, performances and music made the film worthy.  The production values, by DVV Entertainments are topnotch.
