Sapatham review. Sapatham Tamil movie review, story, rating – IndiaGlitz.com

Sapatham picks up where Vyooham left off, delving into Jagan’s tenure as the leader of Andhra Pradesh. The series portrays the challenges he encountered while in power, including the opposition’s efforts to thwart his administration. Through gripping storytelling, Sapatham sheds light on the complexities of governance and the political landscape, showcasing Jagan’s resolve and the obstacles he navigated to fulfill his vision for the state.

Story:

Jagan Mohan Reddy(Ajmal Ameer), takes charge in Andhra Pradesh with a determination to rectify the previous administration’s shortcomings under TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu, (Dhananjay Prabhune). Jagan swiftly implements welfare and development programs, earning him widespread acclaim. However, Chandra Babu Naidu, unwilling to accept his loss of power, plots to undermine Jagan’s initiatives both politically and legally.

Remaining discreetly in the background, Chandra Babu Naidu supports Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, played by Chintu, who harbors a deep-seated animosity towards Jagan for reasons yet to be revealed. Despite warnings from his brothers Chiranjeevi (Dharma Teja) and Naga Babu, Pawan becomes a pawn in Chandra Babu Naidu’s political game.

The narrative unfolds as these characters navigate through a web of political intrigue and personal vendettas, exploring the repercussions of their actions on the state and its people.

Analysis:

Ajmal Ameer’s portrayal of Jagan Mohan Reddy was commendable, capturing the essence of the character despite limited screen time. His mannerisms and dialogue delivery were adequate, although his character could have been more prominent. Maanasa Radhakrishnan portrayed Jagan’s wife Bharati with conviction, providing strong support to the lead role.

Dhananjay Prabhune’s portrayal of Chandra Babu Naidu was convincing, as he adeptly imitated the leader’s mannerisms and speech patterns. He effectively portrayed the cunning and political acumen associated with the character. Chintu’s portrayal of Pawan Kalyan was decent, but his repetitive mannerisms became tedious for viewers over time. Dharma Teja and the rest of the cast performed their roles competently.

In terms of storytelling, Ram Gopal Varma focused more on vilifying Chandra Babu Naidu and portraying his political strategies to discredit Jagan, sidelining the development of Jagan’s character as seen in “Vyooham.” Surprisingly, Varma avoided tarnishing Pawan Kalyan’s image, portraying him as politically inexperienced rather than cunning or malicious.

The film’s narrative follows a predictable template throughout, with the interval providing a brief respite for viewers before continuing in a similar vein. The climax sees Jagan taking an oath (Sapatham) to thwart Chandra Babu and others’ attempts to undermine him. The dialogues are politically charged but effective.

Manish Takkur’s editing is a weak point, as the repetitive scenes and predictable narration slow down the film’s pace. The songs by Balaji are forgettable, with Varma’s singing being particularly unbearable. Better choices could have been made for the song vocals. The background music complements the story, and the production values are acceptable.

Verdict:

Sapatham is a continuation of Ram Gopal Varma’s politically charged narrative, aligning with Jagan and taking aim at Chandra Babu and Pawan Kalyan. The film is likely to resonate with Jagan’s supporters, as it portrays him supporting even Sharmila’s entry into politics, acknowledging Chandra Babu’s leadership skills, and expressing empathy towards Pawan Kalyan for his perceived lack of individuality.
