Fun n Thrill : Go watch it. Review on Saroja

Saroja is a jolly movie loaded with wittism and thrill. It's a one full thrill ride with lighter moments. The plot is about how some four "mokkai" friends mirchi shiva, spb charan, vaibhav, premji work together and rescue a kidnapped girl named, Saroja. saroja character is played by vega, a new find and has done her part well that is being glamourous. But the main vamp, glam doll is nikita who comes as the girlfriend of the bad guy, sampath. The casting in this movie is good and all have performed well. Prakashraj who comes as the billionaire and father of saroja has underplayed and a very good surprising role for Jayaram who comes as ACP.

Saroja a school student is not too happy with her personal life with her parents and enjoys being a singer. One fine day she gets kidnapped and the shocked parents are helped by jayaram who is the acp and good friend of prakashraj. In the meantime the four friends plan to watch a cricket match live at hyderabad and they go through a caravan. During their trip they face a traffic jam coz of heavy load container getting slided and blocking the highway. So they take a turn and try a shortcut only to end into an unknown territory, an old factory where the bad guys stay with the gal, saroja. From here the movie goes at breakneck speed and how they plan and escape with saroja is what the remaining movie is.

There are quite lot of fuss online about this movie being a complete rehash of hollywood movie, "Judgement Night" a 1993 thriller. But still I like this movie as it is different on its own, especially the comic capers and comments between lead actors being very different from the hollywood movie. It gives the movie a different look and adds the fun quotient which is enjoyable. Not to forget the tense moments it provides when the four friends along with saroja try to escape from the bad guys. This is were director venkat scores and also the movie has been changed to suite our indian audiences. There is a bit of twist in the end which may not be expected and its been handled well.

Another highlight is the music of the movie. Yuvan has done another good experimental work in this movie. Fantastic hiphop and rock style songs are used. Cheeky cheeky and kodana kodi are chartbusters.  Dosth bada dosth song goes well along with nice picturisation. Kudos to camera work by sakthi saravanan who earlier worked for chennai 28. You can see a distinct dark blue n red shades all over the movie and the lighting in this movie is something splendid.

Overall the movie is not sluggish or dull at any point, thanks to premji and Mirchi shiva who both have done extremely well. You have to pay close attention to the dialogues and the sarcastic comments by these guys which are indeed natural that you see among people in real life.

Enjoyable stuff.
