It's a treat for fans and it's a Mithran + GV Prakash+ Ruben who are key to the success. The film's score and tunes are rendered by GV Prakash Kumar. Actresses Raashii Khanna and Rajisha Vijayan are the two female leads in the film. The movie also marks the Tamil debut of actor Chunky Panday. The movie has a versatile actor like him playing a dual role. Actor Karthi's latest spy action thriller film Sardar, written and directed by PS Mithran hit the screens all over the world on October 21 on the occasion of the Deepavali festival.

Two of Tamil film industry's most happening heroes - Karthi and Sivakarthikeyan - are clashing at the box office.

While Karthi is coming out with a high-concept thriller, Sivakarthikeyan’s film is a simple comedy about a Tamil guy falling in love with a Brit woman, who happens to be his colleague in a school. On top of that, Prince is directed by Anudeep of Jaathi Rathnalu fame, which gives the movie a chance in the Telugu market as well. We have everything: things you have seen before, things you haven’t seen before, old things in a different dimension.

He then had the biggest release in his career –

And yet, as evidenced by responses to films like Vikram and Ponniyin Selvan, theatres have once again shown that there’s nothing quite like the community experience of watching a film. Ruban Mathivanan of GK Cinemas remembers how bad the situation was during last Deepavali, when theatres had to operate under occupancy restrictions on account of the pandemic, thereby not being able to make the most of audience interest in films like Annaatthe and Enemy. The timing of the festival this year should really help them with the footfalls,” says Subramaniam, who is heartened that audiences have begun thronging theatres once again. The trailer of Prince is a cross-country love story, armed with the brand of comedy that Sivakarthikeyan is known for. On account of the Sivakarthikeyan factor, perhaps Prince could get a few more screens,” he says. It’s a sign of our times then that for this Deepavali, only two films are scheduled for release: Sivakarthikeyan’s Prince and Karthi’s Sardar.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part One aka PS1 enters its fourth week of release starting tomorrow, and the movie is still going strong in theaters in Tamil Nadu.

Ponniyin Selvan 1 is a big budget film with star studded names attached to its cast and crew. Not only are exhibitors willing to continue screening PS1 alongside two new Diwali releases Sardar and Prince, the [increase in ticket prices](** - While the general public would have no qualms about an extra pricing on a big star/big budget movie in its initial days of release, the same cannot be expected for mid-sized movies like Sardar and Prince.) of the other films** is causing many to opt for PS1, which is still available for the original base price of Rs.

A number of Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada films are lined up for theatrical release in the Deepavali week.

Touted to be a tribute to nature, the film will highlight Karnataka’s rich natural resources. The film is being released in Kannada, Hindi and English. Touted to be a commercial entertainer, Ginna stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead, while Sunny Leone and Paayal Rajput will be seen in prominent roles. Venkatesh Daggubati will be appearing in a special role in the film. The pre-release event for the film, which was held in Hyderabad, was attended by veteran actor Nagarjuna. We have put together a list of south Indian movies slated for theatrical release in the Deepavali week.

Barring this emotional aspect and the length of the film, Karthi's Sardar is indeed a Diwali firework. As he joins one dot after the other, he learns that a diabolical plan by a ruthless businessman Rathore (Chunky Panday) is threatening the security of the entire nation. While he wins hearts as the cheerful Vijayprakash who is haunted by his father's traitor tag, when he appears as Agent Sardar, who would go any length to save his country, its fireworks all the way. But things are not all rosy in his life as he lives with the tag of being a traitor's son. Cut to the present and we meet the happy-go-lucky, publicity-hungry police officer Vijayprakash (Karthi) who is a social media sensation as well, so much so that everyone wants to be seen with him to get their own two minutes of fame. Story: A diabolical plan by a ruthless businessman threatens the security of the entire nation.

Let us check out how netizens reacted after watching Karthi's suspense drama, Sardar in cinema halls on its opening day.

Today, Karthi was captured by the shutterbugs at a theatre in Kasi, Chennai, as he caught the first day first show of the film. In addition to this, Ruben has taken care of the film's editing. Prakash Kumar has rendered the tunes for the film and George C. Meanwhile, another Twitterati wrote, "@Karthi_Offl #Sardar Karthi is too good in the selection of script and this film will be one of his best in terms of the script this year." [Karthi ](https://www.pinkvilla.com/topic/karthi)has once again geared up to entertain fans with the edge-of-the-seat suspense drama Sardar. A cinephile penned on Twitter, "#Sardar First Half - Good #Karthi is all over the screen in this spy thriller with an emotional drama as the backdrop.

To put in the film’s lingo, calling Sardar a fulfilling movie would be a “convenient lie”. We are almost always invested in the character who is either the evil twin brother or the one who gets a makeover. For instance, when a boy (who talks too much, knows too much for his age) is taken by the cops for being an accomplice of his traitor mother, we see Vijaya Prakash drawing a parallel to his own life. This mirrors beautifully with him as a boy being photographed by journalists and being taken in by a caretaker (played by Munishkanth who is a great find for the Janagaraj’s character from Oru Kaidhiyin Diary). Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Chunky Pandey is the villain and he seems to get his lines right in Hindi, at least going by what his lips don’t tell. Every time Pandey speaks, the camera cuts to focus on the person listening, in a bid to perhaps avoid the terrible lip-sync. He wants to rub off the ‘stain’ left by his father Bose, who murders the National Security Advisor on the grounds of personal vendetta and is slapped with the label ‘traitor’. We feel betrayed in the other sense. Or rather, to clean the ‘stain’ that he has been carrying all his life because of his criminal dad. He is, of course, the ‘best’ agent to have operated in the Indian Army. Such has been the influence of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s pulpy ode to the 1986 film of the same name. Any Mission Impossible is a mission possible for the agent.

Directed by PS Mithran, the film stars Karthi, Rashi Khanna, Chunky Pandey, Laila, and Rajisha Vijayan.

He is an advisor to the government, and with the help of Chinese moles within the administration, has convinced everyone that this is a good idea — even the International Court of Justice, at the Hague. Sardar’s long agitated shots, the dramatic staging of seas and ships, of scale and sweep, of dams and damsels, is so effective, it hurts that Mithran and his cinematographer George C. The second half is a quick, almost reckless recap of Sardar’s life, where we are introduced to his wife (Rajisha Vijayan) — but just like with Shalini here, too, is a love that is established already before we lay eyes on it; that the two have known each other for decades. This is, afterall, a film that is about a father and son. We are told Sardar — with a stitched white beard and sagging skin that can only be described as prosthetic — has 8 passports, and speaks 24 languages, a fact that is flung at us without needing any additional scene expressing this, showing us that, indeed, this is a man of many tongues. There is something meaty here, the idea of a corporate entity so monopolising, so powerful, so close to political power, that it subverts justice in favour of profits. The silliness and humour that I mentioned above is as much a genre demand as it is a character demand, both blending seamlessly. This cobbling together of country names is affecting, not just because water wars are imminent but because of how the film frames this moral monologue. The moral puzzle at the centre of the film is regarding water. The villain, the man who wants to build a pan-Indian pipeline to control all the water is Rathore — a name and an actor, Chunky Pandey, pulled from the North, because such is South Indian villainy. A masterclass of staging, the world of Sardar is established with style, dramatic intensity, and when needed, that silly comedic charm. The other is all oiled-up swagger, the pre-interval blast that pulsates with both anticipation and excitement.

Along with Karthi, the film also had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha and others. The audience was spellbound by the stars' performance and the overall plot.

If there is a flaw, it is that the movie never engages our hearts as much as it engages our minds. Additionally, Mithran provides his protagonist a number of heroic moments that feel natural rather than forced, as is frequently the case. And his superspy father (again, Karthi), who is exiled, is the only person who can stop Rathore, an evil tycoon (Chunky Panday), and his terrible schemes.

Mithran's script is so overstuffed with ideas that none of them has the space to grow. Is this a movie about capitalism? Is it about environmental ...

The hair and the makeup are badly done, and do little to make us believe that this is a completely different person from Vijayprakash. Sample this – towards the end, Sardar has only a few seconds to fulfil his mission. He speaks in a growly voice that sounds like Sardar never had access to Vicks drops in all the years he spent in prison, but that’s the only ‘transformation’. The guards at the Bangladeshi prison where this scene is set speak Tamil with a Malayalam accent, while in a later scene, the officers of the Pakistani army speak English with a British accent. The plot of Sardar revolves around a ‘One Nation, One Pipeline’ project that will link all the water bodies in the country, and make the essential life resource a pricey commodity in the hands of private players. Except, all this is difficult to accomplish when a film has Chunky Panday speaking without any lip-sync 50% of the time.

Sardar movie review: Karthi-starrer spy thriller is engaging and fun despite several glaring flaws largely due to some brilliant action and the lead star.

The young Karthi is more of a crowd-pleasing character which is fun to watch initially but gets lost with no purpose in the second half of the movie. At some point, the film isn’t sure whether it wants to be a spy film (which it could’ve been more effectively if only it didn’t try to preach a message) or an awareness film on water mafia. Tamil cinema has had very few spy films over the years and Mithran’s Sardar, despite its share of glaring flaws, is definitely a solid addition to the list. The rest of the story is about Vijay trying to find out if his father really went rogue and turned against his own nation. As Vijay tries to unearth more information about his father, the story introduces him as a stage artist turned spy in the flashback. However, Vijay’s commitment towards his work is marred on account of his father, a former spy who has been branded a traitor by the government.

Sardar movie review: Karthi and PS Mithran film is outright fun thanks to tight writing and a firecracker of a script.

What keeps you glued to the screen is that everything in Sardar is about the central plot. As far as the plot goes, when Vijay sets off to investigate a theft of a top-secret file by an activist, it takes him to places that reveal a lot about his life and the true story of his dad. He is the son of a secret agent who lives for the spotlight. The purpose of the sequence is not just to give a glimpse into how police gathers intelligence, it also leads up to the introduction of one of the film’s heroes, Inspector Vijaya Prakash ( As far as the story goes, Vijaya Prakash is a fame-hungry cop, who wants to make sure that even a small deed of his gets wide attention. As his team hatches the plan, we are shown how the information leaks to the police through a range of spies and planted sources, eventually ending up as a report on the police department’s table.

The film also features Chunky Pandey, Rajisha Vijayan and Raashi Khanna. The espionage thriller is directed by PS Mithran. Rating: Release Date: ...

With a few misses here and there, the film makes for a compelling watch. Sardar is a film that suffers from an overload of information. Chunky Panday as the mastermind behind the water theft is appropriate. In Sardar, Mithran delves deep into water theft, which is a growing concern in the country. Vijaya Prakash (Karthi) is a police inspector, who is haunted by the ghost of his past. One thing that Mithran relies on is packaging his film with his findings from the pre-production.

Sardar strikes a neat balance between being a mass masala entertainer, and a message film with its heart in the right place.

Sardar is a true blue action thriller with the spy angle amply explored to justify the hint of a sequel. The narrative takes a dip whenever we have a bit of forced humour here, and unnecessary romantic detours there, but it manages to recover just in time thanks to the focus shifting to a pressing issue that definitely warrants introspection even if the route taken to its predictable end is utopian. A surprise highlight of Sardar is the presence of child actor Rithvik, who plays a precocious kid with a decent arc. These technicians, in tandem with the art department lead by Kathir, give us a fantastic look into the world of Sardar. In his three films so far, the heroes have changed, the heroines have changed, the setting has changed, the look and feel of the films have changed, and the producer has changed, but one thing remains unchanged — the villain. Another highlight of Sardar is definitely the ensemble cast, which comes together to deliver a compelling film.

Karthi starrer misses the target of entertaining, making a mess in order to serve a multi-course meal on a single plate - Sardar Movie Review Out!

It surely gives a very Vikram-isque vibe by its template but fails at more than one level in achieving even one-tenth of the same. Williams’ camerawork comes to life only in the action sequences, as apart from that he takes a very routine approach to film the already crawling scenes. Chunky Pandey remains to be a miscast, especially because of how the poor dubbing doesn’t allow you to take him seriously at any juncture. Things get too convenient in disguise of ‘building’ the sub-plots like a kid giving away answers in an exchange for ice cream. [Chunky Panday](https://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/chunky-panday-once-suprised-ananya-panday-with-a-birthday-song-by-lady-gaga-usko-jab-pata-chala-ki/)‘s Rathore is fooling not only the country but also the entire world with his ‘One Nation One Pipeline’ scheme. It starts following the basic spy-thriller schtick of introducing the almighty lead agent telling you why he’s not as good as you think, but he eventually will be because how else to end such films?
