Analysis:
Gautham Menon is one director who makes different kind of movies within action and romance genre. He is equally good at packaging action dramas like “Gharshana” and romantic movies like “Ye Maaya Chesave”.
His “Saahsam Swaasaga Saagipo” seems like a mix of both the movies but this is slightly different from his usual style of movies.
While the movie begins like “Ye Maaya Chesave” – with hero falling for other state girl who lives in his home, goes with her to some place (in YMC it is Kerala, here it is Kanyakumari), etc.
Once you start feeling that the film is going like “Ye Maaya Chesave” he pulls a trick and makes it an action drama. From the accident scene before the interval, the movie turns into action rampage.
Right after the interval, the movie goes like a thriller – why the Marathi men are after Leela and her family, why a police officer is trying to kill the heroine is unfolded in a slow but gripping manner.
The way Naga Chaitanya goes after the villains is shot in most stylish way by Gautham Menon. He also cuts the scenes differently.
The scene where Naga Chaitanya sits in a doctor’s home and tells that he has now turned into a man is terrific. That is the theme of the movie – a boy turning into a man. The hotel scene in the second half is also superb.
Even the twist in the story in the end and the revealing scene of Naga Chaitanya’s name are also good. But again, the movie’s climax gives déjà vu feeling. The fight scene in the end seems too stretched.
Although “Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo” is not an excellent film like “Ye Maaya Chesave” or as gripping as “Raghavan”, this is different movie within commercial format.
The romantic scenes in the beginning seem very repetitive but the later portion is what makes the difference.
All in all, different visual style, and thriller mode of narration coupled with A R Rehman’s techno music makes the movie far from the regular stuff.
Bottom-line: Daring Romance!
