Movie Review : Sareeram

-

 A youing couple, Priyan (newbie Tharshan) and Vijayalaxmi ( Charmi) are placed before a judge for  a crime they say they did not commit.  The judge however is puzzled by their names and appearances.


 Upon enquiry the duo reveal that the duo  were actually lovers. But the girl's family were hell bent on eliminating the boy.  In order to escape the life threat to her lover, the girl decided to change their genders via an operation, so that they will no longer be able to be found by her family and be able to live in peace. 

What trials and tribulations do they face as a result of their decision? Do they escape the dreaded fate their family had planned for them? What happens when an unexpected turn emerges?








The film deals with an unusual angle,  where  a couple will go to any lengths to protect their love, by evrn changing their gender. 

The film showcases some of the medical aspects of the  operation done for gender change, with Shakeela playing the doctor But doesnt go into too many details nor the real difficulties of such an operation.

The cast has done a good job of the roles written for them. Tharshan shines as the macho hero in the first half and as a gentler female version in the second half as does Charmy in her role reversal. 


The screenplay, though slowed down by songs, however,  has some suprises in store in the second half. The film seeks to showcase some of the issues faced by sections of society and manages to do so in an engaging manner. The movie also underlines the ill effects of social media and the dangers of following concepts blindly. It also highlights a the social and emotional effects of playing with  the Natural order of things.
