Captivating movie !

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I agree that it has lot of style and is lot of style from beginning to end, But it is a great movie where Mohanlal showed his skills very well and has no reason to be rated less!! I have watched it more than 40 times and still love to watch it when I feel like getting some courage and power. The confidence in the dialogue's and cinematography are excellent features of this movie. Even after watching the movie several times, every single time i get goosebumps when I watch the confidence of the Character Sagar Alias Jacky. The scenes where Mohanlal lets know Shobana that her child need not worry about any revenge when he grows up and such scenes where he speaks with the style of a Don or Leader is really mind blowing.

This movie is fully loaded with style and action. Dialogue presentation are extraordinary. This is also one of the big budget movies in Malayalam and the biggest hits in the Malayalam film industry. And the Director of the movie is a well known cinematographer in the Indian film industry. And this is his second venture as a director. And this has been a great success. Initial collection was a record breaker in the Malayalam industry. The versatile actor Mohanlal is the prime reason behind the success of this movie. It is a part sequel of a mega hit movie in Malayalam released in 1987. And the actor who have been a Super star since then still continues after 2 decades into this movie.i rated it only 8 due to the inefficiency in scripting. It is the only disappointing factor in the movie. Beside that, the movie is 100% entertaining. Go for it if u search for entertainment.

The Theme song of this movie is good and may appeal for the youth. Action scenes were good.The let down of this movie are mohanlal's expressionless emotions and his chemistry with bhavana. Mohanlal looked cool in all scenes.Manoj k Jyan played his part well. Too bad shobana was not paired opposite mohanlal.She acted well in her small part.The supporting actors were cool too. Bhavana had nothing much to do except look pretty in her song. Jyothermai is in an item song, since when did she stick only to item songs? She should have got some role too. Predictable movie which is another let down. I liked one dialogue of mohanlal to manoj "You know sagar as your friend well but you don't know jacky the enemy". Mohanlal did not do any action roles after this movie. Mohanlal can still do better action roles, but he must be directed well with adipoli dialogues like narasimham,ravanaprabhu,naran.

SAJ is a very stylized movie. Even though the story is not that good. Watch the movie if you are a great Mohanlal fan...Its worth to see his actions. The combination of Mohanlal with Bhavana doesn't seem to match. If you don't have anything else to do, this movie is worth while to watch. It looked like the film uses an English movies background score. Jyothirmayi in an item number with a small skirt on was just sad. It's not good to see a talented actress like her do item numbers like this. Some of the scenes remind people of the English movie 'bourne ultimatum'. Mohanlal didn't show a lot of expression in this film, which doesn't impress a lot of people. Its very rare to see him without a lot of expression, maybe its because of the character. The film doesn't justify to original movie 'Irupatham Noottandu'. Even though, they been saying its not the second part of that movie and they only took the character's name from the movie. Overall, The movie doesn't have an originality, but like i said if you are a great Mohanlal fan go ahead and watch it.
