Krishnamoorthy
It
is
always
risky
to
remake
a
film,
especially
if
it
is
a
thriller.
But,
Pradeep
Krishnamoorthy
has
done
a
good
job
by
remaking
the
Telugu
movie
Kshanam
without
losing
the
essence
of
the
movie.
He
has
been
successful
in
keeping
the
audiences
guessing
till
the
climax
with
his
flawless
making.
The
way
in
which
he
has
handled
the
mysterious
proceedings
as
well
as
the
romantic
portions
in
the
film,
is
impressive.
At
the
same
time,
he
could
have
resorted
for
some
innovations
towards
the
end
portions
of
the
film.
The
way
in
which
each
character
has
been
etched
gives
the
film
an
upper
hand
and
the
script
of
the
film
has
made
it
sure
not
to
bring
in
characters
just
to
up
the
mystery
elements.
He
keeps
everything
in
tact,
leaving
almost
all
the
questions
answered.
Other
Departments
Songs
and
BGM
by
Simon
K
King
are
impressive.
BGM
has
helped
a
lot
in
maintaining
the
tempo
of
the
movie.
Arunmani
Palani
has
done
a
good
job
in
the
cinematography
department.
Overall
View
Sathya
stays
true
to
the
thriller
genre,
without
losing
the
essence
mid-way.
The
unpredictability
factor
is
something
which
a
thriller
requires
and
Sathya
has
that
factor
spread
throughout
the
narration.
Usually,
romance
and
sentiments
hinder
the
proceedings
in
thrillers
but
in
Sathya
they
gel
well
to
a
good
extent.
At
the
same
time,
the
slow
paced
narration
might
work
as
a
negative
for
the
film,
especially
if
a
viewer
is
looking
for
a
racy
thriller.
Nevertheless,
it
stays
loyal
to
its
original,
which
gained
a
whole
lot
of
appreciations,
during
its
time
of
release.
Verdict
If
you
are
a
fan
of
thrillers,
Sathya
is
one
such
movie
which
will
keep
you
guessing
till
the
end.
