Performances

Prakash Raj played the role of the business tycoon with ease. He is a lively person on screen and off screen. As usual he never acted in this film, but lived it thoroughly.

Sri Hari as a honest cop looks cool. With his toned body and armed muscles he looks leveled as a police officer.

Kajol agarwal has a brief role in this film, but gave her full performance.

Nikitha plays a short role like a vamp. She looks electrifying in some scenes.

The excellent cinematic approach of the story with suspense as its main ingredient is a highlight of this movie. All those people who are in a look out for a different genre film will love it like a feast.

The music is apt and silent. But is well versed in one or two songs. Comedy element lacking may make this movie a strict known for comedy lovers.

On the whole for all the off beat film lovers Sa-Ro-Ja is your tonic. It keeps you on your feet and will give you every worth of your penny.

The film will last for 3 weeks in the theatre.
