Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The Theme song of this movie is good and may appeal for the youth. Action scenes were good.The let down of this movie are mohanlal's expressionless emotions and his chemistry with bhavana. Mohanlal looked cool in all scenes.Manoj k Jyan played his part well. Too bad shobana was not paired opposite mohanlal.She acted well in her small part.The supporting actors were cool too. Bhavana had nothing much to do except look pretty in her song. Jyothermai is in an item song, since when did she stick only to item songs? She should have got some role too. Predictable movie which is another let down. I liked one dialogue of mohanlal to manoj "You know sagar as your friend well but you don't know jacky the enemy". Mohanlal did not do any action roles after this movie. Mohanlal can still do better action roles, but he must be directed well with adipoli dialogues like narasimham,ravanaprabhu,naran.

Watch this movie if you love movies that are 'so bad' it's good.All this movie has is Mohanlal walking accompanied to a background score.He walks and talks. Walks and talks some more. And some more. And a little more. And then the film ends. And he talks some more.The production design is good. So are the costumes. Two redeeming points in this otherwise sorry effort.The sun flare shots are overdone.Frankly, it's Mohanlal who saves the day. The only scene that works and blows life into a dead audience, is the scene set to the old background score composed by Shyam. Where Mohanlal introduces himself as Sagar Alias Jacky.The only thing dumber than the movie is the dumb audience. Mistaking visual trickery for style. That too quite ordinary visuals lacking heart, soul or cinematic vision. The staging is static and lacks dynamism. For style - go watch Chunking Express or Kill Bill or even No Country for Old Men OR go watch Ayan (tamil) or Aamir, Ghajini or Johnny Gaddar or A Wednesday. Yo, Amal Neerad, looks like all you know is putting on some style. But style isn't enough to make a good movie. Go back to making ads.

Big B was a pathbreaking movie considering the visual style and action.It was a fine work but not a great movie.But SAJ disappoints in all the fields.I admit it has style, but unlike Big B the movie doesn't have any magic moments.U have Mohanlal walking in slow motion the entire time.The Action scenes were not thrilling,the plot was so stupefying,it's just the old wine in new bottle.Mohanlal's performance was intense.Cinematography was good ,Amal Neerad himself did it.S.N.Swamy is outdated.It was a wrong decision to hand him the scripting duties which i think may have made Amal Neerad confined.The Script had utterly failed the Visual Style of SAJ with bad plot uncool one liners, and idiotic humour.Forgettable Songs,Background score was heavy,gave me headaches.The Chemistry between Mohanlal and Bhavana was ridiculous & unneeded.Altogether SAJ is a disappointing movie,doesn't deliver at all,go in if you like Mohanlal and some cool shots!

'Sagar Alias jackie'is the sequel to the yesteryear hit movie 'Irupataam Noottaandu'.It was hyped as the most stylish Indian movie before its release..But unfortunately it remains all style and no substance.'Jackie' the smuggler played by Mohanlal(one of the most flexible actors in India) is simply superb.But Amal neerad couldn't compile a strong story to this all style package.From the start of the movie mohanlal appears in stylish costumes and gets in & out of luxury cars,shakes hands with other people with heart stopping background music.'Indu' played by Shobhana add some 'family' element to the movie.Bhavana plays a reporter with ease.Jyothirmayi's item number adds glamour.Suman has played the villain role with power.but he wasn't given more time in this movie..All other co-stars including Jagathy,Manoj.k.jay an etc add flavour to this movie.The movie puts a sudden break at the climax..which irritates the viewers.Gopi sunder, the music director gives promise with above average songs.Overall 'Sagar Alias jackie Reloaded' is watchable..at least for its style statement & thumping background score.Its not going to be a super hit,but it will for sure revolutionize Malayalam cinema...
