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.
