Saroja was a very different foray into cinema making in Kollywood industry. A pretty serious plot made incredibly funny by the lead quadruplet – a slightly more responsible S.P.Charan and Vaibhav playing brothers; Siva and Premji Amaran chipping in with remarkable humor. Venkat Prabhu has turned a fleshless story line into a captivating and amusing 180 minute show.
The seemingly disconnected parts were brought together by the end of a racy first half. Apparently this method of storytelling was worked out successfully by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzales Inarittu in Oscar winning Babel. Some of the escape sequences of the second half seemed unnecessary and repetitive; but even with its flaws the movie in all was quite a entertainer after Tiruvilayadal in 2007. For one liners lifted from many movies including Vijay’s “Evlovo Pannittom, idhu pannamattoma” and Rajini’s “I was helpless; I was kaarnered” the cinema-hall erupted with laughter. There were way too many funny one-liners that the movie probably merits to be viewed many many times.
Even with the hilarity spread all over the movie, for the faint-hearted it did provide a elevated g-factor of six-flag rides. Thrill and suspense is maintained till the end – but I only wished I knew that all ends well, so that I could have relished the witty scenes even better.
