Saba Nayagan

(+2) Ashok Selvan is an excellent actor and has also become a skilled dancer. He is truly captivating on screen, and his dialogue delivery and expressions add depth to his character, 'Saba'.

(-1) Unfortunately, Karthika's acting is subpar. Although her character has limited scope, she fails to make an impression.

(+2) The dance choreography in this movie is both unique and creative. It'll leave you amazed and impressed. Kudos to the masters Raju Sundaram, Leela, and Brinda.

(-1) The songs in the movie were not up to the mark. The lyrics were outdated and failed to blend well with the overall theme of the film. They were forgettable.

(+3) The movie's concept is brilliant - the lead character is arrested and begins narrating his love stories to the police. The credit goes to C. S. Karthikeyan.

(+2) The screenplay is refreshingly different from the usual romantic movies that idealize fairy tales. It's commendable that it remains grounded in reality, with the lead character falling in love multiple times and not sticking up to one girl.

(-2) However, the ending is clichéd, and the director could have avoided it altogether. It's unrealistic and doesn't fit with the rest of the movie, which tries to be as realistic as possible. The climax seems like a fantasy and was included just to wrap up the story.

(-1) The movie feels a bit too long after a while. It's exhausting to see the lead character's heart being broken multiple times, and the viewer starts wishing for the movie to end.

(+4) The movie's humor is its strong point. It's been a while since I watched a movie that made me laugh so much. The comedy isn't overdone, with the tone of the dialogues and the background music being perfectly balanced. The jokes are on point and relatable.

(-1) Some dialogues in the movie are derogatory towards women, with the word 'figure' being used to objectify them. For example, the dialogue 'Our boys do not leave out a single 'figure,' they 'correct' them all' is disgusting and should have been avoided. Credit goes to C. S. Karthikeyan.

Overall, Sabanayakan is an enjoyable, lighthearted comedy that's perfect for a weekend watch. Although there are some negative aspects to the movie, the positive ones outweigh them. You can watch it with your friends, family, and loved ones without any worries. It won't disappoint you.

Katthika's performance decent

A good decent romcom that will make you feel being part of a normal decent world.

Seems like this movie should have been released 20 years back. Story is not great! Don't know how it got this huge score in IMDB. Too boring 😔.jokes and scenes were very predictable and highly used in tamil cinemas for long years. Casting seems flashy . But they didn't meet the expectations.

Saw it after few sneak peek and IMDB(7.6). It was a huge disappointment to all. I know , I am not a director and if you ask me to make a movie I can't make one. But as a viewer , I don't want other movie viewers to be disappointed with more expectations with the misleading IMDB score. Kindly keep your expectations low with the the movie.

Saba nayagan is a very nice feel good movie that you can enjoy with your family and friends. Crisp screenplay, lively characters, excellent organic comedy and a very interesting twist in the end for a love story. Excellent production value, nice music and uniformly well acted. Ashok Selvan is moving from strength to strength with his choice of movies. All 3 female leads have registered strong performances. The comedy works big time. First time director C. S. Karthikeyan has done a neat job and looks like one director we can watch for in the future. Must watch if you love Rom com. Definitely one of the top 10 movies of 2023.

In one word this movie is a wonderful rom-com with stellar cast perfomances especially Ashok Selvan steals the show with brilliant loveable acting. The female leads have also done a good job. But it is Ashok Selvan who steals the show. There are many brilliant cinematic comedic moments in this film with call backs to classic films and meme songs at appropriate times. I kid you not you will smile so much throughout the film that your mouth will hurt. With Nakkalites Arun also scoring heavily in the comedy. Overall a wonderful feel good movie which can be watched with family. The music could have been a bit better in my opinion but at this point i am just nitpicking. I have nothing but praise for this film.

Cheers!!
