The film is made in a typical tamil cinema formula, except glamour. The film starts and moves in a predictable way. The turning point in lead character’s life is not that convincing. After that logicless sequences follow. Two songs were good in the first half. Liked them.

Second half was boring. Felt sympathy for the goondas in climax. The logic of fights and story is made with a lower class tamil audience in mind. Sindhuraj has to learn a lot about script writing.Nothing else was worth mentioning.

Rating 5.5/10

Good editing and graphics for the title scrolls in the beginning. One or two excellent shots by Amal as a camera man. Nice back ground score by Gopi Sunder. Atlast Hummer… There ends the positive parts of the sky hyped Sagar Alias Jacky. Nothing else.

A complete let down by director Amal and writer S N Swamy. and 100% irresponsible approach by Mohanlal. He could have worked atleast for reducing the weight when working for such a big film. He looked better in Red Chillees.

The film starts no where and ends nowhere. The script is a big ZERO. So nothing to mention about the story line. I think the name ” S N Swamy” is just used for titles. dialogs are poorly written. Amal Neerad should understand that taking slow motions and having enough rain and umbrellas didn’t create a cinema. But one shot stands out, a shot in the night while villains chase Bhavana. Brilliant lighting and camera work there. Actor Sampath had done a good job.

Action scenes (just gun shot scenes) were taken without any logic. The shooter who can kill Jacky’s friend from 2 km away cannot shoot straight into Jacky from closer dist. Jacky can shoot villains from open position(without cover) but villains with cover cannot aim atleast single bullet at open Jacky… pathetic direction from a man who learned cinema from RGV.

Then romance… similar situation like “Irupatham Nootandu”, but the makers forgot Lal’s age today. The love song was completely unnecessary. A matured romantic relation is given for Manoj K Jayan (Shobhana) but it was a teenage love for aged Jacky.

As a whole, SAJ is another attempt by today’s malayalam film makers who believe all the viewers are idiots. Our cinema is not going to survive until they change this attitude.

verdict : Stay Away

Rating 3.5 /10 ( for technical work only)

After decent scripting with ChinthaMani & an average Nadiya, A K Sajan fails miserably to write a script for Red Chillees. Just a bad rehash of Chinthamani is portrayed on the screen. Shaji Kailas has the hang over of the recent tamil films he had seen, and nothing goes creative from his side.

Film starts in a vague way, and didn’t etch anything till interval. Below average dialogs given for the girls and the slang and usage stands miles away from reality. The lead character OMR is not a developed one. Only Mohanlal’s screen presence makes the character lively.

The plot didn’t develop even in the second half too and many points go in illogical way. Red Chillees didnt create thrill at any part. The only plus point is the screen presence of Mohanlal. The looks given for him is really good. Everything else, went wrong with this film.

Verdict : Avoidable

Rating 4.5/10
