“Sabari” Movie Review
Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, who comes to Hyderabad from Mumbai with her daughter in search of a job after separating from her husband, Ganesh Venkatraman, is attempting to take her child away. Meanwhile, the criminal Maime Gopi, claiming the child as her own, demands one crore rupees from Varalakshmi.
Why does Maime Gopi, who claims the child as her own, ask for money after celebrating the child? What is the intense action taken by Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, who is fighting to meet her daughter? Did she succeed or not? That’s the story of ‘Sabari’.
Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, who portrays women living without male support, acts with courage and confidence in her character, reflecting the narrative. She fights to protect her child from danger and maintains an appropriate balance of acting and action, adding justice to the narrative.
Initially, Mike Gopi’s character travels with great interest. Even though his actions from the psychiatric hospital are exaggerated, his presence adds to the film’s suspense.
Ganesh Venkatraman, who acts as Varalakshmi’s husband, and Shasha, who acts in the lawyer role, both effectively perform their roles.
Baby Nivetha’s acting as Varalakshmi’s daughter is flawless.
Cinematographers Rahul Srivatsav and Nani Chamidisetty’s camera work contributes significantly to the story.
Gopi Sunder’s music and background score are adequate.
The director, Anil Kats, skillfully navigates the story, eliminating unnecessary elements and focusing on the main narrative to maintain audience engagement.
Although the film initially seems promising, it loses its momentum as it progresses. Despite this, the strong portrayal of a mother’s struggle to protect her child from danger convincingly appeals to the audience.
In conclusion, ‘Sabari’ fails to satisfy.
