Sabdham

One of the best horror movie in recent years We can see the technical effort in sound effects Without typical jump scary scene they made it People like making hit aranmanai must see this masterpiece All the best for the team.

All the actors done their job perfectly Screenplay gave us a slow to speed hype Which is very important for a horror film Even flashback scenes also not make a sleepy dialogues are another impressive one Also gives good crime movie feel Few logic mistakes can be found which is forgettable through the all over movie experience Finally they made lesson how a horror movie should be feel.

Director Arivazhagan has once again proven his brilliance with Sabdham, delivering a film that stands tall with its meticulous research and execution, on par with Hollywood thrillers. His attention to detail in sound-based horror and psychological elements is truly commendable, making this a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.

Aadhi delivers a power-packed performance, carrying the film effortlessly with his intensity and conviction. His portrayal adds depth to the narrative, making every moment gripping.

Thaman's music, especially the background score, elevates the film to another level. The sound design in the second half is haunting and keeps the audience on edge.

While the second half could have been slightly faster, the film as a whole is a must-watch for thriller and horror lovers. Kudos to the entire cast and crew for delivering a technically sound, engaging, and spine-chilling experience!

Dont judge a book by its cover, as they say it, dont judge a movie by its trailer/poster i had some expectation , good one, when i booked the ticket for this one however the very first scene (5 secs) tarnished my expectations and then rest of the movie was a smooth sail as my expectations were too low not a single scene when your adrenaline levels go zoom.. no chills, no thrills, uncooked deliberate suspense /twist if it takes 1 year to shoot a movie and production, i say take 5 years to prepare the script, this seems to be a hastily written script hastily shot and produced.. when in haste, everything goes waste.

Sorry!

Sabdham is a gripping horror thriller that masterfully crafts an eerie atmosphere with meticulous cinematography that creates a sense of foreboding and exceptional sound design that amplifies the tension. Aadhi delivers a convincing performance as Rooban, bringing depth and nuance to the character, supported by strong performances from the cast that add to the overall sense of unease. The film explores themes of communicating with the dead, redemption, and finding closure, raising questions about the supernatural and the human psyche. With well-balanced pacing that builds tension and creates unease, Arivazhagan's direction expertly weaves the narrative, keeping the audience engaged and invested in the story. The muted colour palette and impressive art direction create a believable and eerie atmosphere, drawing the audience into the world of the film. The interval block is expertly crafted, leaving the audience with a cliffhanger that sets the tone for the second half, leading to an intense and suspenseful climax that ties together the narrative threads in a satisfying conclusion. Throughout the film, Thaman's score perfectly complements the on-screen action, elevating the tension and adding to the overall sense of unease, making Sabdham a must-watch for anyone looking for a thrilling cinematic experience.

I gather that the director was trying to explore the exclusive nature of science and faith and how both converge in this story. Sadly, the potential was undermined by its poor execution.

The plot in itself is overused. That wouldn't have been a problem if the characters hadn't been so shallow. Most characters felt like plot devices and some served no narrative purpose whatsoever. For a horror movie that emphasizes sounds, the background score was not that outstanding.

Overall the movie was a mix of a half-baked investigation, fluffy horror scenes, confusing flashbacks and a climax that fell flat.
