Saripodhaa Sanivaaram lends a quirky new-age twist to the “angry young man” trope popularised by Salim-Javed in the 70s.

It doesn’t take much effort to rile up Surya but he reserves his outbursts solely for Saturday—a self-imposed philosophy he religiously swears by.

It’s easy to mistake him for a split-personality disorder victim. An untamed beast of a cop, Dayanand, puts his ideology to the test.

Both Surya and Dayanand are victims of anger. While Surya has a strategy in place to channel his emotions, Dayanand (mis)uses the system as a mask to validate his rage.

The writer-director takes ample time to establish the worlds, philosophies and conflicts of his lead characters.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is worth a watch for its novel approach to a familiar action drama.

With better focus, it could’ve been a massive explosion with a touch of class.
