Saaree Movie Review & Rating!

“Saaree” is a bold film from RGV’s camp, introducing Aradhya Devi as the heroine. Directed by his student Giri Krishna Kamal, the movie had flashy promotions but failed to build buzz. It remains to be seen if it delivered typical RGV-style entertainment.

Saaree Review

Saaree Movie Story: While taking bird photos in a park, Rasheed alias Kittu (played by Satya Yadu) sees Aaradhya Devi, dressed in a yellow saree, and falls for her at first sight. He follows her on Instagram, sends her a message, and tries to get close by offering her a photoshoot. But when Aaradhya finds out Kittu’s true nature, she distances herself from him. What happens next forms the story of “Saaree”.

Performances: Satya Yadu delivered a powerful and scary performance as a psycho, impressing with his intense acting. Aaradhya Devi, in her debut, looked good in expressions but failed to convey strong emotions, especially beside Satya. Supporting cast like Sahil, Kalpa Latha, and Appaji Ambarisha were decent.

Technical Aspects: Except for Sabari’s cinematography, nothing really stands out in the film. Director Giri Krishna follows RGV’s style too closely, but avoids the extreme violence shown in promos, which is a plus. However, the film fails to leave an emotional impact, and the music adds no value. The story tries to show evil but ends up overdoing it visually without much depth.

Analysis: Social media is creating many problems in today’s society, especially for women, and that’s true. While it’s important to make films that give a message to stay away from such issues, showing extreme levels of violence just to prove a point is unnecessary. It’s enough to convey the impact in a way that audiences can understand. A legendary filmmaker like RGV shouldn’t need this reminder.

So, why this madness? Why go beyond limits with zoom shots on women? That’s something RGV and his team must reflect on. Unless you have huge respect for RGV, a strong urge to see Aaradhya Devi’s shots on screen.

Verdict: Saaree tries to deliver a message about the dangers of social media but loses its way with excessive and uncomfortable presentation. Despite some good cinematography, the film lacks emotional depth and feels more exploitative than impactful. Disappointing from a filmmaker of RGV’s stature.

Bottom Line: Excess style, lacking emotional depth.

Rating: 1.5/5
