He brings in the shy, subtle flavour to his love story almost effortlessly, and never looks out of place during the action sequences. The casting of Naga Chaitanya for a role like this was spot on, and the actor delivers one of his finest performances till date in Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo. While it may be unrealistic, it's engaging nonetheless. To Gautham's credit, he keeps the element of surprise intact. Most importantly, after the entire plot is kept under wraps, when it's finally revealed, the result is underwhelming. The fact that the lead pair run into trouble (and escape it) wherever they go, is also far-fetched. The manner in which a group of goons, aided by a police officer (Baba Sehgal) shoot a barrage of bullets inside hospitals, main roads and residences, is laughable. For instance, almost immediately after being involved in a life-threatening accident (how he survives is a shocker), Naga Chaitanya single-handedly (quite literally, cause one of his hands is fractured) bashes up two armed and powerful goons. The music is well supported by the cinematography (Dan Macarthur does a fantastic job) and the road trip in particular is easy on the eye.īut while Gautham masterfully deals with the love story, there are glaring loopholes in his suspense story. Even when they both start speaking, they are shy and awkward, which makes it a joy to watch.ĪR Rahman's music and background score, as ever, is brilliant and stays with you long after you leave the theatre. For instance, even though he's attracted to her from day one, the only exchange that the two of them have over the first few days is a simple 'hi'. There is a sense of innocence with which Chaitanya pursues Leela, which is totally relatable. Gautham Menon yet again shows his expertise when it comes to dealing with love stories. And yet, the transition between the two is seamless. While the first half is sweet romance, which you can sit back and watch with a smile on your face, the second half is full-throttled action. Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo is a tale of two halves. Leela later joins him for a bike trip to Kanyakumari but just when everything seems to be going well, they meet with a major accident, which changes their lives forever. He instantly falls for her and they gradually become friends. His life changes when his sister's friend Leela (Manjima Mohan) comes to stay in their house. Like any young man, he's always hanging out with his group of friends, playing carroms, riding bikes and talking about girls.
