Saindhav

Though the idea of Saindhav is good and has a lot of potential, the director couldn't come up with an interesting narrative. The screenplay is flat for the most part. The world-building isn't done well, and the first half an hour is slow and unexciting. Fights were too violent.

Saindhav has a bunch of great actors, but none of them make any impact due to the way their characterizations are written. Andrea Jeremiah, Shraddha Srinath, Ruhani Sharma, Jisshu Sengupta, Arya, Mukesh Rishi, and Jayaprakash deserved much better roles. There are logical errors in the story as well.

For any action film, the background score is very vital in enhancing the impact. Unfortunately, the background score provided by Santosh Narayanan is pretty bad and hardly adds any value to the film. In fact, the impact of neatly designed action blocks was brought down with the background score. In a few important moments, it was almost non-existent.

Saindhav, a 2023 Telugu-language action thriller film, marks a significant milestone in Venkatesh's career as his 75th film. The film, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, boasts a star-studded cast including Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shruti Haasan, and Rao Ramesh.

The story revolves around Saindhav, a powerful and influential man with a mysterious past. When his daughter falls critically ill, he is forced to confront his past and delve into the criminal underworld to secure a life-saving drug. This sets off a chain of events, leading to a thrilling cat-and-mouse game between Saindhav and a formidable gangster named Vikas Malik (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).

The film is visually stunning, with lavish production design and breathtaking action sequences. Venkatesh delivers a powerful performance, showcasing his range and intensity. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, as always, is captivating as the ruthless antagonist. However, the film's narrative falters at times, with predictable plot points and a somewhat underwhelming climax.

Despite its shortcomings, Saindhav is a visually impressive and entertaining action film that will appeal to fans of the genre. It's a fitting tribute to Venkatesh's illustrious career, showcasing his enduring star power and ability to deliver a powerful performance.

Hi guys, I was watched the movie in the day it was released.. I went to the movie to have a Action pack of Sailesh Kolanu's way he done HIT series but seriously I totally disappointed 😔, Yes the story is Good! Taking out the different concepts is not a matter but doing n execute it ina way people like is the thing!! Sailesh went here.. From the initial beginning it went good wid story but by the pre interval & interval portion everyone wil think.. IS IT INTERVAl 👀 Along side the 2nd half was just overhyping !!

One thing I loved about this file was Emotions &diff concept Didn't expect this much of dullness theatre experience from Sailesh.. looking forward to come back wid rock hit..

Thanks 🙏

Seriously, what a downfall of Sailesh Kolanu From HIT: The First Case to Saindhav! Saindhav is a cliched movie with cliched characters, cliched treatment, and cliched storytelling in a cliched setup.

I remember coming out of HIT: The Second Case's premier show with bit of a disappointment. But, now in comparison with Saindhav, it seems like an absolute masterpiece.

I don't know why all these young directors make the same mistake of making these outdated scripts when working with the senior actors. I get it that these senior actors have large fan bases, etc., but, you need to understand that these large fan bases have brains too. They dont want outdated content especially when paying premium to get the tickets for the whole family and making an effort to move to the theatres.

I hope and wish Sailesh will comeback with an absolute gem like HIT Chapter 1.

With no arrogance at all, I felt that the director took lot of liberty for nothing. He thought he could deliver core emotional drama packed with action by doing too easy to guess plot and lot of repeated dialogues for no reason. It felt instead of focusing on drama it went more about world building. And to be honest its boring. None of the locations look real. And most importantly all the actors did fine job but on the over the top plot. It's so reckless of the writer, director and producer for extent. They could have bring much better product having all the star cast and crew. A big yawn at the end of the day.
