Plot

Saindhav Koneru is a retired crane operator living in Chandraprastha. He has a daughter named Gayathri, who lives with Manogya, a cab driver. Gayathri suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, it is a genetic disorder that requires injection worth 17 crores for treatment.

Saindhav's struggle to save his daughter and through his journey leads him to conflict with Vikas Malik, who is a leader in dealing drugs and weapons.

The film depicts Saindhav's efforts to save his daughter by getting the money for the treatment, dealing with the problems and fighting with the antagonists of the film.

Star performance

 Venkatesh's performance as Saindhav, is powerful, portraying an emotional vulnerable father while also being a ferocious man is excellent. Balancing intense action with emotional moments.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui making his debut in Tollywood is a delight to watch, playing Vikas Malik the antagonist of the film, brings a very engaging portrayal of the villain. His character brings a layer of dark humour to the film.

Analysis

 The central theme is a father's love for his daughter and his sacrifices to save his daughter. Saindhav's desperation to save his daughter leads the whole film. Saindhav's emotional nature him to do illegal things to save his daughter. Saindhav’s past with violence contrasts with his present. This shows depth in the character and about right and wrong morals in his life.

The action is a significant highlight in the film. The fighting scenes are properly executed showing intensity and tension. The action is very impactful adding a film's overall visual appeal.

The cinematography is gritty and enhances the film with lots of tension and drama.

The screenplay is where the film lacks inconsistency, showing high-intensity action with emotional drama without proper execution that disrupts the flow.

The background music by Santosh Narayan enhances the action sequences but sometimes it feels out of synchronisation with the film's tone. The music lacks originality.

What's There?

  • Venkatesh and Nawazuddin Siddiqui deliver compelling performances in the film.
  • The action sequences are appropriately executed, which makes it thrilling to watch.
  • The father-daughter relationship adds an emotional layer to the film.
  • The film's cinematography is to be praised for showing the dark, gritty, intense atmosphere of the film.

What's Not There?

  • It's inconsistent screenplay. There is no proper continuation of the film from start to end which makes it boring.
  • There are several plots in the film which make no sense and don't engage properly.
  • The background music also fails out of relation to the film.
  • The supporting cast Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Jeremiah, and Ruhani Sharma roles are underdeveloped​ characters in the film.

Verdict

Saindhav is a film that tries to explore paternal love and the complexities a father can go for the love of his daughter with intense action and drama but it fails with inconsistent screenplay. Saindhav is worth watching for Venkatesh Fans because of his powerful performance showing action with emotional drama and also Nawazuddin Siddiqui's acting is worth watching.
