Gist of the Story
The encounter with Saint Rocky transforms Sajimol Thomas’ life. Once the Saint Rocky’s Statue vanishes from the church, everything—including her romantic life and surroundings—changes for the better.
Detailed Plot
Illickal small village, located in Kerala’s Thodupuzha district, serves as the setting for Enthada Saji. Saji Mol is a cheerful woman whose wedding is delayed for a variety of reasons. As the people ask about her marriage, she becomes incensed. She meets Saint Rocky (Kunchako Boban) one day while praying in a chapel. Her marriage is called off as a result of the subsequent incidents. The central plot of the movie is around Saji Mol’s blossoming romance with Roy (Jayasurya), her amusing exchange with Saint Rocky, his abrupt disappearance from her life, and her hunt for him. Enthada Saji demonstrates the two’s connection and how it aids Saji in resolving her problems.
Artistes’ Performances
Nivetha Thomas is making her return to Malayalam in the movie Enthada Saji as the title character Sajimol, whose relationship status is the hottest topic of conversation. As the titular Saji, Nivetha Thomas exudes the charm and humour one would hope for. In his protracted cameo-like performance as Saint Rocky, Kunchako Boban did well. Jayasurya also serves as Roy, Saji’s longtime secret crush, according to his appearance and beard. In contrast to Kunchacko Boban, who exudes the necessary grace and grandeur, Jayasurya, who plays a lengthy cameo, has almost nothing to contribute.
Direction / Technical Side
The movie has good humour and an interesting first half. The movie falters after the interval. The second part of the movie, which turns into a puzzle, does feel erratic and overly straightforward. Despite the climax’s intriguing twist, it is ineffective and should have been handled better. Godfy Xavier Babu, the film’s writer-director, makes an attempt to give their conversation a Pranchiyettan-like texture. Beyond the idea of a lonely female speaking with Punyalan, the scripting of this film struggles to come up with intriguing situations. There are neither comedies nor twists to surprise the audience. It is also dubious that the jokes that are told in the congregation, which consists of the church and the believers, will be funny to the world outside of this. The music was composed by William Francis. The Christian choir numbers in the movie are mainly adequate. Jakes Bejoy’s ambient music works okay.
Verdict; Overall, the film is humorous and has an engaging first half. Despite the surprising twist in the end, the second half of the film, which takes the form of a riddle, does feel inconsistent and overly simple. Strictly Average!
