Saakini Daakini

While Saakini Damini seemed like a comedy initially, the way the story develops into a serious theme of organ trafficking was phenomenal. Both the main protagonists evolved well from being a couple of bickering kids to serious cops. While the first 30min of the movie seemed slow, it quickly picks up pace and thereafter was a treat to watch. The action sequences were well done and seemed natural. Both Nivetha Thomas and Cassandra did justice to their respective roles. Nivetha's comic timing and witty remarks were funny. Kudos to the makers of the movie! Indian/English Cinema needs more such gems!

Hindi movies can have some ridiculous action scenes, if bahubali can get away with it, then by all means Shalini and damini should, but by all means, this movie had one of the best action scenes by women, no stunt doubles, its not perfect but you definitely see the work the actresses put in. Action choreography was good too, supporting characters are forgettable though. No dance number, it definitely was not needed. No stunt doubles, movie trope is familiar but not cliche, also they showed after math injuries, all in all, a good movie in its own rights, they are definitely things that could be improved but it's ok.

The movie is a girl power action comedy. Two women from different backgrounds meet at a police training. They resolve their differences and become good friends. They solve a kidnap case like they are james bond. I was under an impression that Indian cinema is slowly distancing itself from one man hitting 100 people. But this one is one woman hiyying 100s of people. A typical action movie with no big surprises.

The first half od the movie is funny and breezes through the eye. The second part is actually the heavy weight. The stunt sequences in the second half were great. Showing all other police officials in a bad light was unwarranted. The reason for the kidnap was novel and was interesting. They could have added more power to villain. That might have helped. The climax lacked that drama.

All in all, we can watch the movie once. Not more than that.

This movie is refreshing. A different kind from all other movies. I was bored of watching movies with same repeated stories in different forms. This movie came as a relief. Really liked the movie. The humor at the first half was too good. Second half could have been made better, but I liked it. Both the female protagonists rocked it. I don't usually write reviews. Sad to see lesser rating from others. This movie should really need a higher rating. I would recommend everyone to watch it. Watch it without any expectations on a night when you are bored. You would definitely like it. Bring more movies like this, Netflix.

If are a regular Korean movie viewer, like me, you would feel that this is a regular action comedy.

The production team should be appreciated for their intention of bringing in the original to Telugu audience by genuinely buying rights. There are some directorial flaws with characterisation and accent. But it is a an Ok outcome. It is not easy to bring in Korean thoroughness in work by every movie team.

The cast was good. Music could have been better.

The suspense could have been made tight for telugu audience who would guess the storyline at 70% movie progress.

The lead actresses were good on performance. Comedy was good but not sterio typing.
