‘Sathiya Sothanai’ movie review: If only witty one-liners could save a film

The Hindu  

2017 saw a slew of brilliant, small-budgeted Tamil films from debutants. Along with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Maanagaram, Gopi Nainar’s Aramm and Nithilan Saminathan’s Kurangu Bommai, came Suresh Sangaiah’s criminally-underrated Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu. Sathiya Sothanai Director: Suresh Sangaiah Cast: Premgi Amaren, Swayam Siddha, Reshma Pasupuleti, KG Mohan, Selva Murugan Storyline: A simpleton’s noble gesture lands him in trouble and it’s up to him to save himself from facing the repercussions Sathiya Sothanai follows the trials and tribulations of Pradeep, a gullible man who spots a dead body in a remote location and decides to hand over the person’s gold chain and mobile to the cops. Certain aspects in the film like moving the body, causing the case to come under another person’s jurisdiction and elderly folks not understanding court proceedings that evoke humour give it a been-there-seen-that feel. A more-rounded film with better character arcs would’ve made Sathiya Sothanai an interesting watch on the lines of several small-town cop investigation dramas that have dotted Tamil and Malayalam in recent times.
