Sanikkilamai Sayangalam 5 Mani’s new attempt in technicalities is a special thing to talk about. Director Ravi Bharathi’s bold try, puts the film into an unusual track by using HDSLR still camera for the whole film. Canon HDSLR – 5D Mark 2 and a Canon HDSLR – 7D cameras offers a great visual treat for the audiences.
SS5M Story:
Director Ravi Bharathi designed the film as village based crime story. As the title indicates, the movie starts on Saturday at 5p.m and ends on the following Saturday on the same time at 5p.m. The film starts off with the heroine Maha (Malini) who faces pressure from her family regarding her marriage as she in not interested in that. Then she decides to escapes with her boy friend Sakthi (Sarath), for a register marriage and starts her journey from Kodaikanal to Batlagundu. Maha goes missing suddenly during her journey and her uncle Aathi a cop begins to investigate this case. Sakthi who is worried about this starts to chase the mystery on her missing with his friends. The film from here will be filled with surprising twists and turns along with emotional aspects.
Highlights:
Sarath has done well, but he needs to brush up his expressions during emotional sequences. Apart from that he can surely make his mark among the young stars.
Malini performance is not up to the mark.
Director Ravi Bharathi work can be appreciated for handling debutants in the lead roles.
Cinematography done by Guhan by using HDSLR is applauded by everyone in the industry. This is only positive point for the film. His creativity was clearly seen in each and every frame.
The story and the screenplay were dragged too much by which everyone can expect the climax.
Music by Jaivee is loud and in fact a let down.
On a whole the film can be watched for the narration and its technicalities. The film is entertaining with all the aspects, but was within the limit.
Bottom line: Only technology leads
