‘Saudi Vellakka’ movie review: Tharun Moorthy’s sophomore effort is emotionally impactful
The HinduThe court case at the centre of Saudi Vellakka is the kind of case, which in all probability, might get a passing mention in the newspapers the next day. More than the content of the case, or the arguments on either side, director Tharun Moorthy is concerned with what this passing of time does to the people involved. Saudi Vellakka Director: Tharun Moorthy Cast: Devi Varma, Lukman Avaran, Binu Pappu, Sujith Shankar Storyline: A man gets a summons to appear in court as the victim in a case which happened around 14 years ago, when he was just a child — but will it ever get settled? Tharun Moorthy, who debuted with Operation Java, that created an engaging drama around the issues of cyber crime and joblessness, yet again depends upon an issue to drive his narrative. Ultimately, Saudi Vellakka is an emotionally impactful film that makes an earnest call for a more responsive justice system.
