“Saala” is a gangster drama that explores the themes of power struggles, prestige, and social activism. The movie is set in North Chennai and tells the story of a gang war revolving around parvathy bar. The film has been praised for its engaging narrative, interesting twists, and meaningful messages.
Saala is a good entertainer with little novelty. A power struggle unfolds over the reopening of a famous bar in Royapuram, pitting two rival factions against each other and a passionate anti-alcohol activist.
Saala’s backstory involves Guna (Aruldoss), a local gangster who takes in a young boy after the child saves his life during a violent confrontation. This boy grows up to be Saala (Dheeran), whose main goal is to reclaim the Parvathy Bar for Guna, the man who raised him. This personal mission sets the stage for the current power struggle over the reopening of the bar. The other contender for the bar is the ruthless Thangadurai (Charles Vinoth).
Caught in the middle is Punitha (Reshma Venkatesh), a social activist passionately opposing liquor shops near schools, temples, and hospitals.
As the story unfolds, Saala’s efforts to reopen the bar are met with opposition from Thangadurai. Punitha’s anti-alcohol campaign, which initially annoys Saala, eventually draws him in due to her sincerity and dedication to orphaned children. The situation escalates when Thangadurai begins selling illicit liquor through Saala’s outlets, leading to unforeseen consequences. The narrative then shifts its focus to the bar ownership battle and the broader impact of uncontrolled alcohol distribution, with personal stakes for Saala rising dramatically.
However, it has also been criticized for its preachy tone and lack of character development. The movie features a talented cast, including Dheeran Shree Natraj, Reshma Venkatesh, Aruldoss, and Charles Vinoth, and is directed by SD Manipaul. Overall, “Saala” is a solid yet flawed film that is worth watching for its thought-provoking themes and engaging storyline.
“Saala” will receive mixed reviews from audience, .The movie has been described as a solid yet flawed gangster drama, with a good setup but a lack of character development . The narrative threads do not come together coherently, and the film loses momentum in its second half .
