    Great

    I've seen the movie with no expectations and I totally enjoyed the movie. From the start everything that was just required for the story was shown exept for the songs which seemed just as to be there in a commercial template movie. The songs are not great. But the screenplay and depiction of everything was nicely handled. The movie is surely an entertainer for those who like action. The hero's performance was definitely great! Even though the flashback seemed a bit off, it seemed necessary for the justification of sardar& Vijay's current emotions. No characters seemed to be unnecessary to the plot.

    A masterpiece spy movie

    This movie take karthi to nxt level, all his get up super. All the characters doing well in their role too. Good fight scenes, brilliant story n screen play. There's no room for boring. Really an intelligent movie, show lot of science fact and the method works. Definitely lot of goosebumps scenes. Not many songs in the movie, just two so far. No any unwanted romantic scenes or comedy. That doesn't mean no any comedy or romantic scenes. It is karthi movie of cz it would be fun n enjoyable movie. But this movie is really so serious n mass. Just a slight build up, but it's acceptable. This movie is about a life of spy, not many ppl know their struggles and sacrifices. So patriotic and family values. Kudos to the director to give such a wonderful treat for this deepavali. All the best for sardar team.

    spy content was good

    A heavy-duty subject presented in a documentary style with a touch of spy-thriller elements sprinkled on it.

    The old protagonist's character was the only one that was designed properly, everything else was just accessories. If the whole movie would've traveled with this old man's character, it might've become one of the decently made ones but the opportunity was spoiled with a useless heroine, and a baseless plot, especially with the main protagonists' characterization design.

    There were a few emotional parts tried but nothing worked out

    music/songs/BGM wasn't that enjoyable and didn't add much value to the film

    the KGF style parallel story-telling kinda screenplay didn't work at all, it felt so artificial and didn't jell well with the content despite making revelations that both father & son have the same behaviors & mannerisms

    and we cannot stop the thought of comparing it against Cobra with respect to the multiple getups of the protagonist

    but overall it is a good enough one for a one-time watch for sure.

    Once a spy, always a spy.

    Mithran once again delivers a solid entertainer with Sardar. A pretty straightforward set up woven around the issue of "water mafia". Kudos to the research done behind the whole bottled water business as it presented a solid base for the spy story. With an entertaining first half, the characters and the conflict are well established. The songs did act as speed breakers but the captivating pre-interval scene ensured it ended on a terrific note.

    The second half has the flashback about the titular character where the love story looked bit off considering the main focus was on a serious issue. Barring those few moments and the songs which simply didn't work, the movie got back on track post the flashback. Karthi excelled in both the roles and Chunky Pandey as a baddie was impressive too thanks to better dubbing in the third act.

    Special mention to how effectively the water mafia angle is integrated to the commercial template. If the flashback was better handled, this would have ended up as a better entertainer than or on par Irumbu Thirai.

    Definitely recommended.

      The way a Morse Code signal is being transmitted through telephone ringing would require more time than what is shown. The time to redial and reconnect should have been considered. Ringing on the dialed number end cannot be controlled like this.
