Director Jacob Varghese successfully captures the finer highlights of Gamyam, thus making Savari a pleasant journey.
The film starts with Abhiram (Raghu Mukerji) undertaking a long journey in search of his love, Janaki (Kamalini Mukherjee). Janaki, a doctor and Abhiram, an affluent youngster, fall in love but Janaki is always annoyed by the irresponsible behavior of Abhiram. Janaki wants to go to rural areas where medical facilities are not available and serve the poor. But Abhiram, born and brought up on the lap of luxury, rejects the idea. As a result, Janaki leaves him and follows her dream by joining a group of medical officers going to remote areas.
Abhiram, unable to forget Janaki, goes in search of her. On his way, he meets Gaali Seenu and they become friends. Janaki and her group keep on moving, camping at one place after another and Abhiram follows her path. Half-way through the journey, Gaali Seenu is shot and killed by naxals. Before his death, Gaali Seenu sees the photograph of Janaki and recognizes her. This gives a clue to Abhiram that Janaki is on her way to another medical camp in Kasargod. The highlight of Savari is its climax. Will Janaki accept Abhiram or will she reject him?
Apart from the story, Kamalini Mukherjee is the common factor between the original film and Savari. As in the original, Kamalini has given a laudable performance and this is arguably Raghu Mukherji's best performance. Sringara Kitty, C.R. Simha and Sadhu Kokila have given decent performances.
The tunes for the three songs have been lifted from the original and are very good.
Savari is well-written and well-taken with ample twists and turns to sustain audience interest. |
