Hi guys, I am here with the new movie saroja one of the awaited movie for the year by the famous Director Venkat Prabhu who hit big time with his debut venture chennai28 has proved that he is not just a flash in a pan. His new film Saroja is a clean, fun-filled, family entertainer. Taking its title from the hit song saroja Saaman Nikaalo from his earlier film, Prabhu has blended all the commercial elements in a perfect mix. The result– an action thriller, produced by Amma Creations, is an absolute treat to watch

The film beginning with random shots of a chemical tanker speeding along the National Highway from Orissa; there’s a girl dancing in a nightclub accompanied by a singer (Yuvan) for the Cheeky Cheeky song. Cut to the city where Ajay Raj(Shiva), a TV serial star is engaged to pooja (Kajal Agarwal). There’s also GaneshKumar( Premji), a happy-go-lucky guy who falls in love with any girl he meets.
Jagapathy Babu (SPB Charan) is a married man with a nagging wife, a daughter and a younger brother RamBabu( Vaibhav) who has sacrificed his ladylove Pooja for Ajay. The four happen to be good friends, having a blast whenever they’re together. Once , they decide to go to Hydrabad to watch a cricket match. So with bags packed, the guys hit the road in the makeshift caravan set up by Ajay. However, things are not well at multimillionaire Vishwanath’s (Prakash Raj) household. His only daughter Saroja (Vega ) a Class 10 student is kidnapped by unidentified men.

Vishwanath’s best friend and police officer RaviChandran ( Jeyaram) comes to his rescue. Meanwhile, the road-trippers, after a minor accident, decide to return chennai, to catch the match on TV. But Ajay claims to know a shortcut to Hydrabad. They eventually land up at a desolate industrial estate– the hideout of the kidnapper Sampath, his henchmen and his girlfriend Kalyani ( Nikitha). The rest of the tale is about how the four save Saroja from the Villain’s clutches,which is narrated with twists and turns in a racy and enjoyable manner.
The foursome comprising Charan, Shiva, Vaibhav and Premji have done their part well and share perfect timing for comedy. Prakash Raj shines in his cameo. Jeyaram is the surprise packet who walks away with the laurels in a negative role. While new girl Vega fits the bill, Nikitha provides the glam quotient. However, the real hero is director Venkat Prabhu who deserves applause for his simple and honest narration minus frills. The film is imaginative and engrossing.
Yuvan Shankar’s songs are superb with the background score perfectly reflecting the mood of the film. Sakthi Saravanan’s brilliant cinematography is another highlight. Occasionally the pace is monotonous as it happens on a single locate, neverthless with its major plus points you cannot afford to miss the film.
