Saaradhi Malayalam movie review: Watching 'Saaradhi', a Sunny Wayne starrer, got me thinking about life and death. The story revolves around an ambulance driver rushing with a dead body at the back of his vehicle and then getting trapped in an unexpected situation beyond his control. Gradually, the ambulance driver finds himself becoming 'attached' to the dead body. Now, that is the peg of the film which somehow gets lost in the movie altogether! While this film has no comedy scenes, memorable songs, it still kept me alert.

So, my son and I started watching the film and yes, there were several stretches in 'Saaradhi' that were boring. Firstly, Sunny Wayne was simply not getting into the skin of the protagonist. His timing was definitely off.
Saaradhi Malayalam Movie Review: Timing a key problem
In Malayalam movies, timing is everything, and it is what adds punch to every dialogue that makes an impact in the way a story is carried.
Look at how veteran actors Thilakan and Jagathy are perfectionists when it comes to timing. Among Malayalam actresses, Urvashi's sense of timing makes her an outstanding artist in any role. She towers over every scene, comedy or not, because her sense of timing is just perfect.
In 'Saaradhi', Sunny Wayne is way off the mark with his timing and dialogue delivery, particularly during the first half. In the second half, Sunny Wayne is back in action!
Saaradhi Movie Review: Sunny Wayne comes back in form
Post-interval, Sunny Wayne comes into form. He begins to shift gears from passive to active, showing us that he has not completely given up on the character that he is portraying.
To my mind, one of the first things that struck me was when Mohanlal played the role as an auto driver in 'Aye Auto', he was so convincing as an auto driver that you instantly felt a connect to him. [Aye Auto Movie Review]
Or take Mammootty, in 'Amaram', where he effortlessly plays the role of a fisherman.
Malayalam cinema is blessed with these amazingly talented actors who can shift gears naturally. This is what sets Malayalam artists a class apart in Indian cinema.
Coming back to Sunny Wayne in 'Saaradhi', the performances of accompanying actors is as dismal as the direction. Veteran actor Nedumudi Venu is a saving grace, whereas it comes across as a surprise that veteran actor Sreenivasan lacks his usual dynamism in this film,
Overall, Sunny Wayne's 'Saaradhi' is a watchable film. Poor direction has really hit the film hard and this has clearly impacted the performances of the artists.
Better luck next time, Sunny Wayne!
