Sathyam

My Review : Sathyam

It is sad to see actors devoting hell a lot of time in preparing their body and doing a movie for a year without out bothering about the script or taking the audience for granted . After Vikram did it for "Bheema" it is now the turn of Vishal for "Sathyam".

Plot: Cop story on the line a many that followed the success of  "Idhuthanda Police" and "Karthavya" in Telugu in the early 90's.

Vishal: He looks dashing , charismatic and manly (though his voice betrays him ). He has worked hard on his body and body language to suit a character of a cop to the T but one wonders what would have been the result if the same amount of hard work was put on the script .

Nayanthara: She has done what is expected from here nowadays -- oodles of glamour and skin show . Wonder how long will she be able to do this alone .

Upendra: He looks dashing on the screen with all the powerful dialouges reserved for him.But the turn-off is that he hams a lot throught out .

Villan gang consisting of Kota Srinivasa rao , Ravi Kale and Prabhu N'paul ,all do things that we have seen in N number of Telugu movies of the past .

Music by Harris Jayaraj -- the credits say so .

Cinematography: R.D.Rajasekhar has done a commendable job though the frames appear jaded a lot .

Antony in the name of editing hurts our eyes.

Technically the visual effects and CG department have done a very commendable job --only redeeming factor in the movie.Kudos to them .

Rajasekar who debuts with the movie seems to be heavily inspired by numerous cop movies of the yore that was churned out in tollywood .The movie gives an impression of a telugu movie dubbed in tamil in many scenes . Except Vishal none seem to lip sinc with the dialogue , Here & there A.P. number plates of the cars & A.P.police uniforms make a sudden appearances --furthur vindicating that it may have been dubbed from telugu .

Bottomline: Yet another biggie biting the dust .

2/5
