Saagar Alias Jackie - Reloaded : Review

Superstar Mohanlal's latest offering Saagar Alias Jackie - Reloaded has reached about 102 theatres today. This new film from Mohanlal is considered to be the most stylish film ever made in the Malayalam film industry. This new film which is a highly hyped stylish action thriller was directed by young director Amal Neerad and produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirwad Cinemas.

Saagar Alias Jackie - Reloaded was said to be a stylish film and it was correct but the major concern with the film is that there is not a basic story to deal with. Script writer S N Swamy, who is well known for his story based action films have let us down with a storyless film. Director of this film, Amal Neerad too have let us down by not making the film upto the expectations. The director has rehashed certain scenes, locations and characters from his earlier BigB.

This new film is all about a soft hearted gangster named as Saagar Alias Jackie, which is a very popular name with the hit film Irupatham Noottandu, a film which was directed by K Madhu and scripted by S N Swamy. While watching this film it felt that Swamy has remade his earlier film Irupatham Noottandu, which was a far better entertainer.

In the acting side, Mohanlal the most flexible actor in Indian cinema, as usual is a treat to watch but the rest of the cast was not upto the mark. Bhavana, heroine of the movie is wasted with not such a notable role whereas Shobhana was perfect with her role. Manoj K Jayan was ok and out of the villians (too much) Sambath and Suman were watchable whereas others were wasted with nothing really to do. Jagathy Sreekumar is wasted while Jyothirmayi's item dance was not upto to the mark to make the audience crazy.

In the technical side, Amal Neerad has employed the regular technique used by Ram Gopal Varma, Vishnu Vardhan and others to make their film look stylish. All his crew members have done their jobs quite decently. The music department was not upto the mark whereas the camera work done by the director himself is superb.

All in all, this new film Saagar Alias Jackie - Reloaded is the perfect example of the new style of film making. The film is definitely a watchable one with it's stylish way of making and for the locations and look it provides. With a bumber opening like this, this new film from Mohanlal is surely expected to become a notable hit in this year's calendar.
