Unadulterated Fantasy Entertainer For Kids
Sangu Chakkaram is clearly meant for the kids. As an adult, you may not enjoy a majority of the film but the little ones may find it engaging. Take them along for this unadulterated 'kids satire' horror entertainer. As long as the kids hold center stage, Sangu Chakkaram is fairly cute.(more)

A humour-horror ride that will impress kids
Though there are a few logical overrides in the movie, they can be discounted as 'Sangu Chakkaram' poses itself as a wonderful pastime for our little friends.(more)

SANGUCHAKKARAM MOVIE REVIEW
Where the film feels different is in not giving the ghosts a backstory, which is quite a relief. There are a couple of touches that are interesting but these aren't developed properly... like, the kids getting over their fear of the ghosts and even taunting them and some dialogue that serve as social commentary; when the kidnappers realise these are kids schooled in private schools, one tells the other there is no point in asking money from their parents because the schools would have already extorted all their money! The epilogue, in fact, ends with a kickass dialogue on Rajinikanth's political entry. If only had the director brought such cheekiness into the rest of the film...(more)

Doesn't ever light up
After a while, with the film nowhere close to the climax, they introduce a completely unwanted couple into the equation, and to top it off, two exorcists - one who looks like Keanu Reeves from the Matrix and the other, a cheap imitation of Raiden from Mortal Kombat. And oh, there's also this priest who stands outside the palace for a long time praying for something to happen. Though his 'holy lines' sounded like gibberish, I couldn't help but be reminded of the kiliki language from Baahubali. There's even a scene where this local priest and our bargain Keanu Reeves have a face off with different musical instruments. The priest comes out victorious thanks to blowing a sangu - probably a reference to the title or maybe a reference to those of us who expected a better film.(more)
