These days, audiences do not want much from a filmmaker. A pinch of interesting elements, best technical job with a shorter duration is more than enough for them to make it a success. CV Kumar has clearly understood the need of hour and has apparently made Sarabham. The film has very few characters, just three – Vikram (Naveen Chandra), Shruthi (Saloni Luthra) and a CEO (Aadukalam Narain).
When Vikram’s project is refused by the leading CEO of a company, he decides to seek his revenge, though not a matured idea, he reaches his house to throw the stone and attack it. But everything changes when he sees Shruthi, daughter of rich CEO escaping from his home. On following her, they get to know each other and are acquainted. They understand their need is common and that is huge money. Both of them come up with a dangerous plan of plotting kidnap drama to the girl’s father and demand ransom money worth Rs.30Crores. Everything sails well for the duo and they’re done with drama. Finally, when Vikram drops her near the house, he feels there is a new beginning ahead of him, but things turn out to be a bizarre when the news is flashed that Shruthi is killed.
It looks like Arun Mohan wasn’t just in hurry while shooting the film to wrap up in 29 days, but during the script writing process as well. Although, the film is rapid in pace during major portions, there are some loopholes that becomes a slight letdown. But the performance by the lead actors is commendable and that includes Naveen Chandra who sticks with perfection to this character, but Saloni Luthra is the showstopper and Aadukalam Narain stands out to be an extraordinary actor here…
The duration of this film is not too lengthy, but there are some places, where we actually look out for a surprise and nothing happens. It comes late in time precisely after the first hour. The twists are laudable indeed and the climax is convincing.
The background score adds up more effect to the thrill factor. The cinematography is done with special effort of shakiness and it looks like director wanted to maintain a confusing mood with accordance to the character throughout the movie.
On the whole, Sarabham is a good show by Arun Mohan. The film could have been convincing if the team of writers had strengthened the script with an interesting screenplay.
Verdict: A decent effort
