    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.

    Sardar has it's moments, but...

    Fails to keep the audience engaged throughout the movie due to songs, dance, romantic scenes and too much fight scenes (that looks so Unnatural). The movie should have sticked to a single genre (ie, a thriller). But there are moments which deserved an overall better movie. Some scenes have logical errors that are too obvious for the viewers to notice. Anyone who doesn't want to waste 2.43 hrs can fast forward from 1:30:00 and still understand the whole movie.

    Overall Sardar (2022) has a good message but misses a good Direction from the crew.

    Rating: 6.8/10

    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.

    An Engaging Spy Thriller with Solid Subject

    *** Sardar Movie Review ***

    Starring Karthi in lead role, also starring Raashii Khanna Rajisha Vijayan , Laila , Chunky Pandey in lead role.

    Directed by P. S. Mithran

    Plot of the Movie..

    Karthi playing the role of Police Inspector Vijay Prakash is quenching his thirst to become famous. One fine day he faces an issue where he takes a detour and realizes that if you're satisfied with the efforts you made for accomplishment of the goal then getting a fame is immaterial...

    Analysis of the Movie...

    1) The movie throws a very strong subject on the water lobby as how water is being price tagged overlooking the ill-effects of the plastic bottle kept unused/ misused for a long time...

    2) PS Mithran had beautifully put forward his message considering the commercial elements which makes the audience to watch till the end...

    3) Although we might have seen various hollywood spy thriller movies, here sardar also throws a light on it but at the same time, it remains as a subplot there by not overlapping the main plot and disturbing the cinematic interest..

    4) Karthi in double had given an exemplary performance. Especially the voice modulation given for Father character of karthi defines his dedication towards the character...

    5) Raashi Khanna and Rajisha Vijayan, from the usual contemporary heroine kinda performance had able to portray a different kind of performance in their limited space...

    6) Laila , in her limited space had given justice...

    7) Action sequences were well choreographed...

    8) Music was ok kind...

    9) Cinematography was good

    Overall a subject of serious concern in today's time blended with commercial ingredients made Sardar a watchable flick movie...

    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.
    • Alternate versions
