Sorgavaasal Movie Review

Writing/Directing:

The narrative structure is a mix of high and low, with a documentary-style presentation that interrupts the flow of the storytelling. However, the interesting moments of the screenplay make it compelling enough to follow. The aim of the first act is to establish RJ Balaji as an innocent character, and this is effectively achieved with some elements that create sympathy for him. While the false accusations against him bring pity, the climax fails to deliver a sense of relief due to its half-baked execution. A highlight is the prison setup with well-rounded characters with dynamic backstories. These parts, though presented as animated visuals, feature admirable writing. The inclusion of an outsider’s perspective and the aspect of God adds depth, providing a unique look at the subject. Philosophical and political dialogues, especially on transgender issues, are distinguished for their bravery. The second half leans heavily on action, supported by solid drama, but the static narrative fails to drive the story forward. Despite being busy in parts, the film lacks the “wow” factor. Drawing parallels with Vada Chennai and Virumandi is not a problem, but the lack of emotional depth diminishes the impact of the loss portrayed.

Performance:

RJ Balaji gives a decent performance that marks a marked improvement over his previous works, though his highly emotional scenes feel strained. Selvaraghavan’s role is interesting, and he handles many scenes convincingly, though he struggles with the action sequences and sports a strange hairstyle. The supporting cast, mostly newcomers, excel at bringing life to the scenes. Karuna adds value to the narrative, but the decision to make Nati a character suffering from acidity throughout the film feels random and unnecessary.

Technical:

The film has strong technical skills with exceptional cinematography which enhances the visual quality. The framing and lighting, especially in the night sequences, are excellent. The music, though satisfying, could have been more intense to enhance the storytelling. The editing aligns well with the chosen narrative style, maintaining the mood of the film. The action sequences are effective, adding to the raw authenticity of the scenes, although a few rope shots are less convincing.

Bottomline:

The film thrives on its intense sequences, keeping the audience engaged throughout. Vivid narration and better emotional refinement can enhance the experience. The final hour’s lack of compelling moments and excessive climaxes leave only a mediocre impression.
