Victory Venkatesh’s 75th movie, Saindhav, made its way to the screens with a wave of anticipation during Sankranti this year. The movie, directed by the young filmmaker Sailesh Kolanu, known for his successful film series that resonated well with the Telugu audience, received a diverse response from viewers and critics, reflecting the varied tastes and perspectives of the audience. While it may not have met the high expectations at the box office, the movie’s unique narrative and performances still managed to leave an impression.
The Hindi version of Saindhav has finally secured its OTT release date after nearly 5 months. Jio Cinemas has obtained the digital rights for the film, with the streaming scheduled for June 23rd. The movie will also have its world television premiere on Colors Cineplex on the same day. Observing the Hindi audience’s reception of this film, which was directed by young director Sailesh Kolanu, will be intriguing. Shraddha Srinath portrayed the female lead, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Ruhani Sharma, Andrea Jeremiah, Arya, Baby Sara, and others played crucial roles. Venkat Boyanapalli, from Niharika Entertainment, produced the movie, with Santhosh Narayan from Kalki 2898 AD providing the soundtrack.
The movie narrates the tale of Saindhav (Venkatesh), an employee at a port in the fictional city of Chandra Prastha. He resides with his daughter Gayatri (Baby Ssara) and neighbor Mano (Shradhha Srinath). Unexpectedly, Saindhav finds himself in need of a substantial sum of 17 Crores to acquire an injection that could potentially save his daughter’s life. Moreover, he has a mysterious past linked to a criminal organization in the city. Will Saindhav succeed in his endeavor? How does his past connect to the crime syndicate? The answers to these inquiries can only be unveiled by watching the film. The viewers and critics perceived Saindhav as a moderate action thriller, with certain aspects proving effective while others falling short. Venkatesh’s portrayal, the action sequences, and a handful of compelling scenes contribute to the film’s effect, while the sluggish and repetitive moments in the latter half, coupled with the absence of emotional depth, hinder its overall impact.
