Warrior Savitri

Saw during lockdown. Story good but movie budget seems to be low. Direction good. Worth a one time watch.

After watching the trailer of this movie First I understood that the trailer is very poor and some negative points showed out(casting, Acting, Dialogues). But I thought maybe the movie will be better. New cast, Interesting premises(Modern day adaptation of the legendary fable of Savitri). But the movie hardly proves that. The trailer is bad but the movie is really and completely bad.

Actually, this is a revenge drama. Very typical story line of a woman. She gets injustice all the time and the ugly society always harms her. She has to save her husband from all the evil entities. The premises tells you that it is the modern adaptation of the Savitri from the Mahabharata (Sanskrit epics of ancient India). But if you watch the movie you can understand storyline is very typical and there is nothing new in this story.

The direction is very poor, there is no pace of the story, Actually, there is nothing of the story, absolutely poor choice. The actors and actresses acting are very choppy. It is clearly understood that there is no specific storyline and no rehearsals done for the each role. Script and screenplay are as poor as the direction was. Music, Background score, editing, art direction, all are very poorly executed. A total forgettable mess.

This is a low budget movie and against "A Flying Jatt" it will show very limited screens across the India and I think the producers didn't think how they cover their investments. But this is not a good choice for the distributors.

This film has poor writing that doomed the hard work of everyone involved in it. The Director/Writer is from America and there were so many mistakes made with scenes shot in America. I don't even want to speak about climax. I dont know how this film maker got so many awards.

I'd love to learn more about about the Mahabharata. I'd enjoy an earnest adaptation of the tale of Savitri and Satyavan.

This film, however, is not that.

No level of familiarity with the fable this film supposedly bases itself on will help you to predict the turns it's going to take. Every scenario our heroine is presented with becomes more preposterous, and the screenplay is so absurd that I'm reminded of the campy B-movie classic 'Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.'

I can understand why there was apparently such an uproar over this film when it was set to be released. But I'll say this much: As bad as this movie is, at least it has a coherent plot. And by virtue of being so ridiculous, I found myself laughing like few films can do, wondering if what I was watching on the screen actually just happened.

Ultimately, the good news is that this movie is comedic gold, and fun despite its flaws. The bad news is, it's not supposed to be funny. Take that as you will.
