Tamil Movie Review

Sabhapathy movie review

Story:

Santhanam is a young man with a speech disorder from birth. He is in love with his neighbour Preethi Verma.

His father M S Bhaskar is a government employee who is about to retire. So Bhaskar wants Santhanam to get a job.

Even though Santhanam tries his best, he is not able to secure a job due to his stammering problem. Dejected by this, one day he goes home drunk and creates a ruckus.

In an inebriated state Santhanam does something which changes his entire life. What is it and what happens next forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Director Srinivasa Rao has picked the theme of fate influencing a person’s life and has presented it with fantasy elements.

The director has delivered some social messages as well. Santhanam dons a different role and does a decent job in this new avatar. However, he still has the humour element to the character.

M S Bhaskar as usuall delivers a neat performance and is convincing as the hero’s father. Preethi Verman does not have much to do.

Pugazh and Swaminthan have done their part well. Songs by Sam C S are passable, however the BMG is good.

Cinematography by Baskar Arumugam is good. The movie would have been all the more enjoyable if it had a better screenplay.
