Saravanan Irukka Bayamaen (2017) Movie Details

#SIB
@Udhaystalin looks good, dances just fine, is casual as ever. @ReginaCassandra is apt as the uber-glam heroine
#SIB - For the B,C zones. There are few laughs here and there, thx to Soori, Yogi Babu, Mansoor the comedy circus

1st half: Boring. Most of the comedies failed. Neither story nor the screenplay is strong...

1st Half - Paisa Vasool entertainer says @ShivaJi_Offl ☺#SaravananIrukkaBayamaen - 1.5/5 Boring. Hardly 3-4 scenes where comedy worked. Out of n comedians, Chaams did well.

Saravanan (Udhayanidhi Stalin) is a jobless and aimless youth. He outfoxes his own uncle Kalyanam (Soori) to take his place in a national political party, which was newly formed by leader played by Madhan Bob. Madhan walks out of his previous party because he wasnt served a chicken piece with biriyani. Yes, the level of comedy in this film is that bad and it goes down further as the film progresses. Saravanans childhood friend Thenmozhi (Regina Cassandra) returns to her hometown only to find Saravanan has turned her ancestral house into a party office.

Udhayanidhi Stalin looks super confident, his comic timing is quite good and also dances with great ease, he has also convincingly pulled off the action sequences. Regina is at her glamorous best in Saravanan Irukka Bayamaen, especially in the Embuttu Irukkuthu Aasai number. The much hyped funny one-liners of Soori didnt work and it would have been great if Ezhil used Yogi Babu more as his portions comparatively worked better. The rest of the comedians including Mansoor Ali Khan, Chams and Madhumitha fail to attract us.

Theres no dearth of comedy in SIB, with almost every comedian given an opportunity to shine, but still the film falls flat on its face because the jokes just dont work. Soori, for instance, has been in a terrific form for the longest time but he has reached a stage in his career where he badly needs to reinvent, at least with the way he delivers his dialogues. The same applies to Robo Shankar, another promising comedian, who hasnt got his due yet and so far has mostly been wasted in silly roles. You can go on a rant about every decent comedian and their underwhelming portrayal in the movie.
