Sidhartha Siva has made a successful transition from making offbeat award winning films to mainstream commercial entertainers and that too with a popular star in the lead. Nivin Pauly�s spirited performance is more than enough reason to watch the film.(more)

Comedy, Nivin Pauly are stars of this faltering ode to a Communist ideal

Sakhavu does not have the natural ease of Sidhartha Siva�s National Award-winning Ain from 2014 nor is it as thoroughly consistent as his sweet little Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho from last year, but it has its merits. Siva seems to have his heart in the right place, and he does, after all, make the point he sets out to make here, aided by one of the most interesting male stars of the present generation.(more)

Honest and engaging

Sakhavu may be far from perfect, but is a sincere effort that is worth the time. It could give you goosebumps if you are a Communist, but even otherwise it�s entertaining. For the fans of Nivin Pauly, the hero gives enough to celebrate. Go for this one!(more)
