Chup kar, Ben Stokes! Teri maa ki! Loveday! BoseDK! Nawaz bhai mass in Telugu cinema! Enjoyed it so much.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui killed it, man. This is his show. What an absolutely marvelous dialogue delivery. I hope Telugu audience takes note of him. He is a stand out in terms of how entertaining his character is and how great his performance is. He is an ANIMAL in this film. He even laughs like one. He is many steps above his character in Salman Khan's Kick and it's commendable how he feels very different from most of his characters in Hindi cinema. I am telling you, the humour that his character brings is great. At one point, he pokes fun at a supporting character hyping up the hero and calls out the repetitive hero elevations in these kind of movies. It is hilarious.
This feels like a comic book film. The villain is over the top like the Joker, there is a Batmobile/Bond car, there is a decapitated human head served on a plate. Nawaz's Vikas sniffs the head and comments how good the head smells after he killed him. This film could have easily been set in Gotham haha because it turns into a vigilante film when it comments on the greed of big pharma letting children die. Atleast it feels like Tollywood made its own LCU style movie with the same quality. I knew I shouldn't have doubted the director of HIT movies. He knows what he is doing.
Action is delicious, you get some gore, some cool camera movements, some really cool action. I haven't seen many of his movies but Venkatesh sir gives a very strong performance. I watched Arya's The Village and I couldn't understand why he is the lead because I felt he is a very weak/bad actor but he is good in this. His looks good in a suit with long hair kicking some serious ass. Andrea Jeremiah not only is a feast for the eyes but she is also a good actor. Only other movies I have seen her in are Master and Vada Chennai. Mukesh Rishi does his thing while Jisshu Sengupta, Ruhani Sharma, Shraddha Srinath, Jayaprakash are good with what they were given.
The father-daughter bond is the emotional core of this film. SaiKo's backstory is like Leo on the surface level. He worked for the mafia and everyone feared him but then he left. On the whole, I really liked the writing in this film and it kept me engaged. For example, I was not expecting them to kill off the daughter. There is a promise of a sequel in the end when the director himself shows up with a script for a movie based on SaiKo. It is really a fun watch and has good stuff to offer action lovers. Atleast you will enjoy Nawaz's presence. They even created a fictional city and a cartel group which proves my assessment that the treatment of this film is like a comic book or a graphic novel. Some of the overhead shots of the city look really good.
Trust me and go for something cool like Saindhav instead of routine masala movies. Please do not listen to critics and others and try to form your own opinion by watching the film.
