Satham Podathey

2.00

A wannabe thriller sans thrills.

Though the story (said to be a real one) is good and the attempt is genuine, down the line, you feel as if the product is not complete. Prithviraj does his job with comfortable ease; he is a treat to watch. Padmapriya does full justice to her character,. Nithin Satya is a revelation in the climax. In the technical department, the camera work by debutant Dinesh Kumar is top notch. (more)

A good thriller.

Satham Podathey is a worthy addition to Vasanth's cannon of films. One of the difficult things to achieve in the thriller genre is the ability to deliver twists in the plot at regular intervals. Vasanth's script, which is based on a true story, neatly delivers this without ever appearing to be contrived. Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs, which have already become familiar on the airwaves, are better than his background score.(more)

A bold attempt.

Riveting performance from Padmapriya and Prithviraj, coupled with melodious musical score by Yuvanshankar Raja work out wonders. Unlike others, Vasanth has attempted his hand at a bold theme. His characterizations and placement of songs deserve a special pat. However, the surprise element in the movie is Nithin Sathya (Chennai 600028 fame), he has come up with a stunning performance. On the flip side, Vasanth seems to have lost the steam towards the climax. (more)
