Sasi lets entertainment carry the message home
This is a small film by design, with no grand canvas to flaunt, and Sasi wrings close to the most from it without ever tipping into a sermon on a woman's freedom.

Movie Review: Nooru Saami
Vijay Antony holds attention with his nuanced performance and seems to live his character. Sasi has brought out the actor in him superbly. Swasika carries the film on her shoulders with a mind blowing act, delivering every expression and dialogue in a most credible manner, with a body language that transforms her into Selvi. Among her career best performances for this actor!(more)
