In Doctor, we had Sivakarthikeyan having fun with in the direction of kind. Now, in Sabhaapathy, Santhanam does one factor comparable. Quick retorts are his forte, nevertheless proper here, he performs a persona who’s a stammerer. How would a Santhanam film that doesn't have him dropping ‘counters’ to every totally different character’s traces be?
The actor performs Sabhaapathy, a youthful man with a speech dysfunction in Srirangam. He’s in love collectively along with his neighbour Savithri (Preethi Verma, a bland presence); he’s jobless; he hangs out collectively along with his good pal Ramani (TV star Pugazh, making a lacklustre debut), whose solely train is consuming; and he has a prickly relationship collectively along with his father Ganapathy (MS Bhaskar, environment friendly, as common). Successfully, some points can’t be modified in a Santhanam film, we guess! As future would have it, pretty really proper here, Sabhaapathy ends up with a suitcase filled with cash that belongs to a corrupt native politician, Lucky Raja (Sayaji Shinde). Collectively along with his stammering standing in one of the simplest ways of him getting a job, and in flip, getting married to Savi, what does Sabhaapathy do?
Ever since he turned hero, Santhanam’s films have given the impression that they'd been structured spherical him and his comic kind. Whatever the variations in story and plot, he was having fun with the an identical character — a wisecracking youthful man. Possibly for the first time, in Sabhaapathy, we sense the actor trying to go well with right into a persona fairly than having fun with himself. Another actor could have accomplished this operate, and the film’s ultimate consequence wouldn't have differed that loads. Whereas these are nonetheless youngster steps. As we talked about earlier, there are nonetheless plot components which will be must-haves on this actor’s film. And we even have his agency of actors (from MS Bhaskar and Lollu Sabha Swaminathan to Lollu Sabha Maran).
Director R Srinivasa Rao comes up with a widely known one-line — an underdog whose virtues are examined and finally rewarded — and supplies us eventualities which will be significantly amusing even after they aren’t completely modern. He makes use of the friction between Sabhaapathy and Ganapathy as a result of the springboard for some humour, that’s broad and even cringey (if a son vomiting on his father’s head and a father ordering his son to strip in a neighbour’s house is your cup of comedy, it's possible you'll dig this larger!). Then, now now we have stretches (like a scene set in a police station, the place a cop doubles up as an astrologer) that make you smile as soon as they unfold on show, nevertheless don't seem that humorous when you look once more on them later. This moreover applies to your full film, which is a middling affair. Like a dream that eludes you whenever you stand up, you overlook it the second you step out of the theatre.
