Or, is it? The behaviour of the main lead in the climax doesn't inspire one to give Gautham a clean chit. To his credit the director is not corrupted by the many Kollywood films that play to the gallery by compulsively smuggling in halting comedy even in incredibly severe situations. The deliverables lack in subtleties and nuances after a point in the second half when the rising up to the occasion of an ordinary, fun-loving boy is shorn of any haunting drama. A film admittedly inspired by a moment in 'The Godfather', 'SSS' comes with an outdated story line. The climax is delivered like a non-momentous event, with it being too true-to-life to a fault.
A few more, perhaps.įor all the healthy deja vu, the film is not without its share of writing-related and execution-related flaws. Confessing love in non-melodramatic language when not sure whether he/she will survive. And 'SSS' comes with Gautham Menon-style sensibilities in good measure. The pre-interval portions in the suspiciously macabre hospital are a treat to watch for the sheer dread they smell of. This is much helped not only because it was not meant to be a conversational love story but a thriller-like shoot out drama. Even the romantic track is racy enough, interspersed as it is with AR Rahman's 'Taanu Nenu' and 'Chakori'. Yes, the film gets them right.Īt about 130 or so minutes, 'SSS' is mostly in 'sagipo' mode, taking 'swasa' only to give away some nuances. Whatever the description may have suggested to different sections of audiences, Gautham Menon's fans did look forward to watching a narrational bonanza: In the first half, the lover boy would elaborately describe his love, its origin, that feeling when SHE looks at him, etc, and in the second half, the innermost feelings of the underdogs in danger would be mirrored through simple dialogues. The climax is about how, over a period of 2.5 years, the mystery has been unraveled single-handedly by Chay, letting the audience know why the villains bayed for Leela's blood, and how Chay, who now has a surprise identity, gets his comeuppance.Īs the makers had made it clear, 'SSS' is a mix of two genres, the first half being a 'YMC' and the second half, a 'Gharsana'. The politician-police-criminal nexus won't intimidate him. A rowdy cop (played by Baba Sehgal) threatens them with dire consequences, but Chay challenges with actions. The guy and his girl are overnight thrown into an abyss when they realize a murderous gang of assorted elements are out to eliminate Leela and her parents. The two meet with an accident and from now, it's all roller-coaster. It's time for a 'Ye Maya Chesave' tourism, minus Aleppy, but with a shock in store. There comes that 'Ye Maya Chesave' moment in his life when the sister's friend (debutante Manjima Mohan as Leela) appears in front of his eyes, "heating up the room" as the two hold marathon, breezy conversations. Naga Chaitanya (whose name in the film is kept a secret till the climax) is a happy-go-lucky, engineering graduate hanging out with friends who keep extra interest in his love stories, mundane or special. Here is our review of this much-awaited movie. Amid skepticism about films working to their potential in a season of demonetization, 'Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo' releases as a 'sahasam' in itself.
