Disappointing experience with the movie "Saindhav." It seems like the film tried to emulate the style of "John Wick" with an Indian twist but fell short in several areas.
Direction and Execution: Despite the director Sailesh's previous success with "HIT," "Saindhav" didn't live up to expectations. The action-packed approach lacked the depth and storytelling that audiences appreciate.
Acting: Victory Venkatesh's performance seemed one-dimensional, with the same expressions throughout the movie, which detracted from the overall impact.
Storyline: The movie's pace was too fast, making it difficult for the audience to engage with the story. It seemed like the focus was more on action rather than developing a compelling narrative.
Positive Aspects: The appearance of Arya and the showcasing of luxury cars like Lamborghini, Mustang, and Bentley were some of the few highlights.
It's clear that a well-balanced movie needs more than just action sequences to be successful. Storytelling, character development, and emotional depth are crucial elements that resonate with the audience.

Hi guys, I was watched the movie in the day it was released..

Taking out the different concepts is not a matter but doing n execute it ina way people like is the thing!! Sailesh went here..
From the initial beginning it went good wid story but by the pre interval & interval portion everyone wil think.. IS IT INTERVAl 👀
Along side the 2nd half was just overhyping !!

Saindhav, a 2023 Telugu-language action thriller film, marks a significant milestone in Venkatesh's career as his 75th film. The film, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, boasts a star-studded cast including Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shruti Haasan, and Rao Ramesh.
The story revolves around Saindhav, a powerful and influential man with a mysterious past. When his daughter falls critically ill, he is forced to confront his past and delve into the criminal underworld to secure a life-saving drug. This sets off a chain of events, leading to a thrilling cat-and-mouse game between Saindhav and a formidable gangster named Vikas Malik (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).
The film is visually stunning, with lavish production design and breathtaking action sequences. Venkatesh delivers a powerful performance, showcasing his range and intensity. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, as always, is captivating as the ruthless antagonist. However, the film's narrative falters at times, with predictable plot points and a somewhat underwhelming climax.
Despite its shortcomings, Saindhav is a visually impressive and entertaining action film that will appeal to fans of the genre. It's a fitting tribute to Venkatesh's illustrious career, showcasing his enduring star power and ability to deliver a powerful performance.

Seriously, what a downfall of Sailesh Kolanu From HIT: The First Case to Saindhav! Saindhav is a cliched movie with cliched characters, cliched treatment, and cliched storytelling in a cliched setup.
I remember coming out of HIT: The Second Case's premier show with bit of a disappointment. But, now in comparison with Saindhav, it seems like an absolute masterpiece.
I don't know why all these young directors make the same mistake of making these outdated scripts when working with the senior actors. I get it that these senior actors have large fan bases, etc., but, you need to understand that these large fan bases have brains too. They dont want outdated content especially when paying premium to get the tickets for the whole family and making an effort to move to the theatres.
I hope and wish Sailesh will comeback with an absolute gem like HIT Chapter 1.

Though the idea of Saindhav is good and has a lot of potential, the director couldn't come up with an interesting narrative. The screenplay is flat for the most part. The world-building isn't done well, and the first half an hour is slow and unexciting. Fights were too violent.
Saindhav has a bunch of great actors, but none of them make any impact due to the way their characterizations are written. Andrea Jeremiah, Shraddha Srinath, Ruhani Sharma, Jisshu Sengupta, Arya, Mukesh Rishi, and Jayaprakash deserved much better roles. There are logical errors in the story as well.
For any action film, the background score is very vital in enhancing the impact. Unfortunately, the background score provided by Santosh Narayanan is pretty bad and hardly adds any value to the film. In fact, the impact of neatly designed action blocks was brought down with the background score. In a few important moments, it was almost non-existent.
