Who in their right minds thought casting Chunky Panday as the main antagonist was a good idea? Earlier this year, we got Chiyaan Vikram's lacklustre Cobra, and now this. PS Mithran inherits AR Murugadoss' "Wikipedia logic" and blends it with some weird conspiracy theories to come up with a boring, below-average affair. The plot is as hollow as a bamboo stick, the performances nothing to write home about. Also, there's some noticeably bad lip-sync even when native Tamil actors are speaking. Why do Bangladeshi officers speak Tamil with a Malayali accent whereas a Pakistani army general speaks English with a British accent? That horribly preachy scene in the climax was the nail in the coffin. A couple of set-pieces aside, Sardar is an utter waste of time.
