  • Story:

    The film revolves around Ponni who is a police constable and has no high ambitions in life. She lives with her husband Maari and her daughter Dhanam. Ponni only wishes to provide two meals a day to her family. This depicts her simplicity. On the other hand, we see Maari as a mill worker who wants to break the shackles of poverty and the prevailing caste issues in his village. In the film, we further see Maari (Kanna Ravi) lose his job after a severe fight with his colleagues. He goes home and tells everything to his wife Ponni. And she asks him to apologize to his boss for getting his job back. The most unexpected twist came when the owner began a dirty fight with Maari, instead of accepting his apology. The never-ending struggle of her life begins from here. When a lower-caste villager bad-mouthed the mill owner he killed Maari and Dhaman to teach the family a lesson. This traumatic event shook Ponni and she decided to take revenge against her family’s murderers. In this bloody battle, her half-brother Sangaya stood by her. To know what happens next, watch Saani Kaayidham. 


    Why should you watch Saani Kaayidham?

    Saani Kaayidham is a solid revenge story with non-stop action. The movie is directed by Arun Matheswaran who knows how to fascinate audiences with his outstanding work. You can use the term “epic” to describe the movie. The violence, death, and torture are the main striking features of most of his films that are depicted nicely. We can see this as the use of monochrome visuals and dark rooms put the tendency of the picturization into flashback scenes. Saani Kaayidham is packed with wonderful and intense shots that won't take your eyes off the screen. 

    The violence factor of the movie is immense and that’s why the film begins with the warning of extreme violence. But somehow it helps to present the storyline more profoundly.
    The shots which are filmed on Ponni will blow your mind away. Definitely, she is one of the most powerful characters. Her eyes are enough to convey the sufferings and despair. The character buildup in the film is superb as Ponni’s on-screen brother, Sangayya has stolen the show with his screen presence.

    Another good aspect of Saani Kaayidham is the storyline. Certainly, the film renders the story of vengeance very well and sets an example not only to one but every human. Doesn’t matter, what is your cast or status? Everyone has honor and pride. The dialogues and Sam CS’ fitting score go well to make it a classic film. Cinematographer Yamini Yagnamurthi has also done a terrific job. The movie is no less than a treat for those who love to watch this kind of revenge thriller genre. In short, an ample amount of intensity and rage will make you surprised in Saani Kaayidhaam.
