Saindhav review: Venkatesh-starrer falters but Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a hoot

Nawazuddin played a gangster called Vikas Malik in the film – someone who’s ruthless yet hilarious. Fans seemed taken by his performance, writing, “Audience are in love with Nawazuddin sir's performance. There is a sprinkle of humour everytime when he is into the scene. As Sailesh said he produced terror and humour at the same time.” Another fan wrote, “A movie with a routine plot point but set with good action sequences. Nawazuddin Siddiqui stands out from the rest of the cast. Climax is good. The movie is average with a one time watch.”

Fans also liked Venkatesh’s performance, with one of them writing, “#Saindhav, falls short, hindered by a lack of deep emotional setup, not so well executed action sequences and a less impactful background score except for the climax and climax portions. Yet, #VenkyMama’s emotional acting in the climax adds a heartfelt touch.” Another fan wrote, “#Venkatesh did his best in action and emotional scenes. #NawazuddinSiddiqui was terrific. Father daughter emotion was (heart emoji).”

Some fans who didn’t like the film at all got candid, one wrote, “Story chinnadi ainapudu danni prolong chesi teeyala anna @KolanuSailesh. Manchi action sequence plan chesi, emotional scenes matram full ga galiki vadilesav inka audience ela connect avtaru. #SaindhavReview #Saindhav #Venkatesh aa weapons from car scene too artificial. (There’s no need to prolong a small story into a film.
