Story:

Surya (Nani) keeps his anger in check for six days, as he is bound by a promise given to his mother in childhood. He unleashes his anger only on Saturdays against those who make him angry. Surya's path crosses with the ruthless CI Daya (SJ Suryah), who tortures the people of Sokulapalem. Surya targets Daya and tries to teach him a lesson. Surya also loves Charulatha (Priyanka Arul Mohan), a constable. The rest of the story focuses on the result Surya received because of his actions against Daya. 

Performances:

Nani fits perfectly for Surya's Character, and this kind of character is a cakewalk for him. He is impressive in fights as well. SJ Suryah delivers a stunning performance as the meaning Daya. Abhirami, Sai Kumar, Harshavardhan, and Priyanka Arul Mohan made their presence felt, while Murali Sharma, Sai Kumar, Subhaleka Sudhakar, Sivajiraja, Ajay Ghosh, Vishnu Oi, Ajay, and others were perfect.

What worked for the film:

Vivek Athreya took a regular storyline but added his own mark for the film. The screenplay is cleverly packaged, with all the threads getting entangled in the main plot. Athreya showed prowess in the screenplay as the film never went out of the plot. The initial sequence of Surya's character establishment and the entire Surya - Daya Confrontation thread worked well for the film. Surya - Charu's love track, which had a good plot twist, was handled well. The way the director dealt with the portions of Daya and his brother's patch-up was nice. All the action sequences were good, with the Post Interval one being the top-notch. 

What did not work for the film:

Vivek Athreya gave too much importance to a few episodes or scenes, which made the film dull in some parts. For example, the track of Ajay Ghosh's men following Hero could have been completely eliminated. Also, there is a slight feeling of lag in the latter half, which could have been taken care of. 

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Review and Verdict:

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is an engaging action drama. Though the plot looks regular, Vivek Athreya provides a unique touch with clever writing. Despite the narration dipping in some parts, the film holds interest until the end with a delightful blend of emotions and action.
