Very few films have given me the satisfaction of watching a complete movie. That way, Saroja is a movie that has made me happy and contented after a long time. Never in my life I have seen the crowd staying in the theater till the screen goes blank after end titles for a Tamil film. That says volumes about how brilliant a film Saroja is.
Instead of depending on a hero or a director, Saroja is full of team work and team work never fails. Each and every character in the movie has a good role to play and they play it to satisfaction. In these days, when serious movies become full time comedy, it deserves a huge applause to give a thriller with a light string of comedy throughout and keep the audience engaged throughout.
The performance of the 4 friends, especially Premji and his timely punch lines and RJ Shiva's comedy timing deserves appreciation. Prakashraj as the bereaved father in search of his daughter is very natural while Jayaram is a pleasant surprise. Music by Yuvan fits the bill perfectly and all the songs have been well shot and edited.
Even the minor aspects of the film have been taken care well, and lots of little excitements like the cameos. The camera work and stylish editing are the main highlights of the film. Well created, well shot and well packaged, Saroja is definitely one of the best films of the year and a learning for those film makers who are still ignorant of the fact that best films can be made without big stars.

Short n Sweet review .. :) .. Me watching it today !
I think if you see Judgment Night which was the original movie.. and a bit serious thriller though there were some amount of comedy in the Holly version, I think this one has a much needed Indian comedy twist to the story line... peppy for the city audience.. but am still wondering if it went well with the rural popualtion.
Me too da. i havent enjoyed any movie in the recent past as much as i have done for this.
