somehow i feel venkat prabhu wants to be a tarantino-wannabe in this movie.
he tries to provide that flavour...non-linear screenplay,cool dialogues,violence,stylish action,drugs etc
if he pulls it off well...it would be a smash hit.

Stills were nice... I am waiting for the songs.... I guess the songs will be good as in Chennai 600028.... Lets wait and see....
But I guess this won't be a jolly movie like Chennai 600028.

Initially I thought it will be some roadtrip comedy like Little Miss Sunshine... But after seeing the trailer, i guess the subject will be more of a darker theme.... Originally Posted by MrJudge

It was a stunning transformation for Venkat Prabhu who made a giant leap forward in Chennai 28. Now, after watching the trailer of Saroja, looks like he has not let down the fire in him.
All the best to the team. TFI needs people like them.

He has used a similar kind of van but the plot is different. Here four guys are going to Hyderabad to watch a cricket game and what happens during the trip is the movie. Yes, it is kind of a darker theme mixed with mystery. Originally Posted by Achilles

Cheeky Cheeky song rocks !
Starting bit of Nimirnthu nil is just awesome.
The lyrics of Nimirnthu Nil are more on the lines of the tag line "Anyone can become a hero".
Is it the main theme of the movie ?

The CD will be available tomorrow. You can see the good Q versions pretty soon all over the net. If you don't have the CD stores in your area or if you aren't sure whether Saroja is for you or not, try with them. Saroja is much better than Ch-28. Originally Posted by directhit

'Saroja’ will hit gold' - Venkat Prabhu
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, July 26, 2008]
Director Venkat Prabhu is confidence personified these days. Oozing with enthusiasm and courage, the actor-turned-director says, “We have worked hard round-the-clock for 'Saroja'. The whole unit is confident that the hard work would be suitably rewarded”.
Dwelling further on ‘Saroja’, he says, “It would be a jolly film and I am sure it will go on to appease all movie-buffs”.
Produced by T Siva of Amma Creations, the cast includes Premji, Charan, Vaibhav, Shiva, Vega, Kajal Agarwal and Nikitha. Sampath Raj plays a prominent role. Veterans Prakashraj, Jayaram and Brahmanandham are also in the cast.
“Every character has been designed to have a separate identity in the film. It will be a roller coaster ride for the audience”.
“Yuvan's foot-tapping numbers have already become a big hit among the masses. The traffic-jam sequence in the film is another striking feature”, says Venkat Prabhu.

Link - http://www.newstodaynet.com/newsinde...&%20section=11‘I can’t make serious films’
Sun, 27 Jul, 2008,02:02 PM
.
‘I cannot make serious movies. Chennai 600028 was a breezy entertainer. My forthcoming Saroja would be a jolly good film’, says actor-turned-director Venkat Prabhu.
Gearing up for the release of Saroja, Venkat Prabhu says, ‘ How on earth can I make a serious film when we have people like Premji, Charan, Shiva and Vaibhav in the cast’.
.
The entire story revolves around fun-loving youngsters. The incidents that occur in a day form the crux of the story, says Venkat Prabhu.
Produced by T Siva of Amma Creations, the cast includes Premji , Charan, Vaibhav, Shiva, Vega, Kajal Agarwal and Nikitha. Sampath Raj plays a prominent role. Veterans Prakashraj, Jayaram and Brahmanandham are also in the cast.
‘Every character will have a separate identity in the film. It would be different from the routine commercial products. It is a roller-coaster ride for the audience’.
The movie was shot for over 80 days and a grand set replicating a pub in Singapore was put up in Chennai for shooting a song sequence.
‘Unlike Chennai 600028, Saroja is a mega budget film. All credit should go to my producer Siva, who encouraged me right from the beginning’, he adds.
According to the producer, the major highlights of the movie are the songs by Yuvanshankar Raja and a grand traffic jam sequence. Yuvan’s foot-tapping numbers are already a big hit among the masses. It has given an identity for the film. We worked round-the-clock for the film.The whole unit is confident that hardwork would be suitably rewarded’, says Venkat Prabhu.

'Saroja' gets a clean U certificate
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, August 19, 2008]
Venkat Prabhu's second film made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu has found favor with the Censor Board and has been awarded a clean 'U Certificate'.
'Saroja' is about an extraordinary event on an ordinary day and is expected to be racy with loads of thriller elements laced with adequate comical situations.
The film has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the songs have already become chart busters. The film has an impressive star cast that includes SPB Charan, Siva, Kajal Agarwal, Premji Amaran, Vega, Prakash Raj and Jayaram.
'Saroja' will hit theaters on the 29th of August worldwide with more than 200 prints. In Chennai, the film releases in Sathyam Cinemas, Inox, Sangam, Udhayam, Anna, Mayajaal, Prarthna, Rohini and more.

Does Saroja have a similarity to an English movie?
Definitely not. I have seen Babel prior to making Saroja and the concept of stitching different stories geographically so far apart interested me a lot. I took that concept and put original stories and made the movie in a flavor that will connect to the audience here. You will understand that when you see the movie, it is completely original.

VP's interview given to Shobha Warrier from Rediff:
'Saroja is not Chennai 600028'
Venkat Prabhu's first film Chennai 600028 was an unprecedented success. Even after two years, people still talk about it.
Naturally expectations are high for the director's next film, Saroja, releasing on September 5. The fact that he has been signed to make a film for Warner Brothers and Soundarya Rajnikanth�s Ocher Studios shows what a hot property the filmmaker is now.
In this interview, Venkat Prabhu tells Shobha Warrier more about his forthcoming film. Excerpts:
Before the release of your first film Chennai 600028, nobody talked about you or the film. But it became a blockbuster and created history. Now, there is a lot of hype surrounding Saroja.
It is scary to see the expectations and hype. I made Saroja as if I was making my first film. But the tension is there. I want people to watch Saroja, have fun and go back.
Saroja is not Chennai 600028. It belongs to a different genre. The budget of course, is four to five times more than that of Chennai 28.
What is Saroja's genre?
It is a thriller. It starts in the morning and ends on the morning of the next day. It is about a road trip that goes wrong.
I don't have big stars in my film but what I am saying is different. There is a lot of comedy too in the film. Through Premji, Siva, etc, I have added a lot of humour. But mind you, there is no separate comedy track in my film. My heroes are four ordinary guys who are humourous.
In Chennai 28, many people could identify with the characters. Will they be able to do so with the characters of Saroja?
Definitely. They are as real as you and me. The film is about how these normal guys get into a situation, and come out of it. There is no hero-heroine in Saroja; it is an ensemble cast. There are no dream sequences or duet songs. In Chennai 28, I had a dream sequence but there is nothing like that in Saroja.
I know people expect something different from the Chennai 28 group and we have given a different film. Unless the story is different and you give a new approach, even big films by big stars don�t get appreciated these days.
You are making Saroja in Tamil and Telugu. Why a bilingual?
That is because Chennai 28 was dubbed into Telugu and was a big flop. The guy who bought the film edited it in a bad way. They killed the film by taking off even the climax match.
So, I didn't want anything of that sort to happen to Saroja. All the actors are the same except for Jayaram who has a big role as a police officer in the Tamil version. In Telugu, it is Srihari who does that role. Vaibhav, the hero is from Telugu and is well known there. S P B Charan is also known there.
You said Saroja is a road film...
Yes, there are three stories, one happening in Hyderabad and another in Chennai. The journey meets at one point, which I have named as Orissa. How it ends is the second half of the film.
Both your films have lots of characters. How difficult is it to write a script by giving individuality to all of them?
For a writer, that is the fun part. It is tough and very challenging, I agree. I want all my characters to have their own identities. Once I think of a character, I immediately think of an actor who is best suited for the role. So, when I write the script, I have actors for each character. I want guys who look normal like us, and not heroes.
Why not work with big stars? Is it because you don't what their star status to overshadow you? Now, Saroja is hyped as a Venkat Prabhu film. If it had an Ajit or Vijay or Vikram in it, the thrust would have been different...
(Laughs) There are directors who want to show larger than life characters but I like to portray only ordinary people. So, they have to look ordinary too.
I like to work with all the big stars. But I have to be ready to do something different for them. After making one or two films, I think I will work with stars.
Last time when we met, you said, your dream is to direct Rajnikanth...
I am in my kindergarten now. I have to take a PhD to direct Rajni Sir.
It is reported that the distributors want Saroja to piggy back Kuselan as it is a big flop.
People are talking like that. I am scared, really scared...
Do you feel it is unfair to put so much pressure on you and your film?
Very much so. It is a lot of pressure on us. We can�t take 400 prints. That is too much for a small film like Saroja. I don't want that. We had only 75 prints of Chennai 28 for the entire Tamil Nadu. We can go a maximum of 100 prints for this film, and that include the overseas ones too. If we have to send prints to all the theatres that ran Kuselan, we are in a soup. This is a small film.
Is it because of this confusion that the release date has been pushed to September 5?
Pyramid Saimira has to sort out the Kuselan problem, and they also want simultaneous release of Tamil and Telugu. The same thing had happened to Chennai 28. We had announced it for April 14, and it was released on the 27th. That was because we didn�t get theatres! We have the same theatre problem now also. But they want more theatres now!
It is a scary thought. All of us are saying, what's happening to us? God, save us. I want a long run in less number of theatres. If you have more theatres, you will not get a long run. We want a 100 day film! We want to celebrate and have fun like we did with Chennai 28. I do not want anyone to say the success of Chennai 28 was a fluke!
You had a cricket match on the 100th day of Chennai 28...
Yes. That was the fun part of crossing 100 days. You know, in Saroja also, there is a small reference to cricket.
So, you can't leave cricket behind?
How can I? It saved my career. My mom used to shout at me when I played street cricket. Now I tell her, see, cricket saved my career.
You are signed by Warner Brothers and Soundarya Rajnikanth's Ocher Studios for a film...
Yes, it is interesting. I gave them a one line story and they liked it. The movie is titled Goa. It is again about a bunch of guys having fun in Goa. Goa will have guys from both Chennai 28 and Saroja.
Films on a bunch of guys? Is that going to be your trademark?
No, no... When people start saying "not one more film on a bunch of guys from Venkat Prabhu!," I will change. I will slowly reduce the number to one or two guys. (Laughs)
Why is it that women are not that important in any of your films? Why not a bunch of girls?
I think I will surely make a film with a bunch of girls. I know if I make such a film with big stars like Trisha, Nayanthara, etc, the guys would rush to the theatres.
Did you pick the title of Saroja from the most popular song of Chennai 28, Saroja saamaan nikalo...?
I wanted a girl's name for the film, and what better name for me than Saroja? The song was a rage. So, even the public would relate to the title Saroja from the team of Chennai 28.

Venkat Prabu's disparate approach in 'Saroja'
IndiaGlitz [Friday, September 05, 2008]
Tollywood had an inveterate habit of directors making their appearance in their films. This trend has been altered by director Venkat Prabhu in his newly released flick 'Saroja'. For the first time in Kollywood, the producer of the movie enacts the short role of a serial director in this movie. Mahendran, the production executive appears as the chauffeur for Prakash Raj.
The guest appearances also stars director Venkat Prabhu along with his Stuntman, who plays as villagemen providing directions to the band of four guys who plays the lead. Cameraman Shakthi Saravanan as the civilian who gives information about the traffic block. Premji's assistant does the role of a beggar, a man with a hideous face full of sores. The entire Chennai -28 team makes an appearance, playing characters spread out all over the movie.
An interesting venture in the movie is, the director has dubbed his voice for ten different characters showing uniqueness for each character. In his appearance on screen, he dubs the voice for himself and his fellow stuntman in the same scene with apt differentiation in the tone. 'Saroja' packs loads of surprises which is sure to entertain the spectators widely.

SAROJA ROCKS...Rocks big time
Just came back from saroja...Thoroughly enjoyed the movie...Everyone acted very well..Premgi Tense scenes-le kude comedy pannurare...Some scenes are so damn funny(had to hold my stomach)..90% of the chennai 28 team did cameos..Though it was suppose to be a thriller, but for me thrill - 30% comedy - 70%
positives
- screenplay that keeps you glued to the seat
- humor
- songs
- good mix of thrill and comedy
negatives
- Climax was a bit corny..I mean the twists were good but the way it was taken was a bit corny..
- Venkat seriously need to work with a A grade team...Felt like i was watching a cheapo film..Yuvan's songs have been wasted..Poor picturization and recording...Ordinary camera work..NO GLOSS...Dhaam dhoomla partha gloss, intha padathile suthama illai

Chennai 28 didnt work with me. Tried 3 times but couldn't go beyond 30mins. I felt it was one of the most overated and exegerated movie in this hub (hub thavira vERa engeyum anthaLavu hype pAkkalEngrathu aaRuthal)

Anyway, I'd wait for the DVD.

I think we had a similar discussion earlier. VP's directorial skills, unpretentious charecterizations and the screenplay were discussed. PR/Equa do the honors (again) On the comedy, a section of the hub is allergic to gounder/vadivelu - that explains :P

Roshan, what I meant was enjoying humot is very subjective. Differs from person to person GM is the most popular comedian but some people simply can't stand him. Some people find vadivElu funnier than GM. For some people its vivek all the way. Ch-28, the comedy was very unique, it worked with me and a bunch of others in the hub. AvLOdhAn.
I found the soRA scene funny only because of the way he said it. Trying to hide his emotions but somehow they come out inthat simple dialogue...

Roshan,
The film worked for me at multiple levels. First of all, Venkat Prabu didn't *try* to make it a great film. That itself was a great relief. You go to a film and you end up feeling lot more nostalgic. It makes you feel among the company of friends with whom you spend all your time in the past. I would say - it is one of the most realistic films. The chennai slang, atmosphere, feel etc - I am sure even an experienced director would have failed to recreate that.
Vaazhkaiyoda nalla nalla tharunangalai, 99.99% nadappugalai namakkul kondu vantha oru padam..
Anupavichu, rasichu, sirichi, bayangaramaa enjoy panna padam..
Muthalil vara SPB voice (intro), team introduction, 80's feel kodukura Yaaroe song, jolly ya pasanga paadura "Jalsa", "Saroja" song, pasanga vidura uthaar, ponnungalukku react pannura vitham ippadi sollikittae pogalaam...
It might sound abit loud. But (For me) Chennai - 28 = 100 * puthupettai, pvs and kts

If Shankar is bad at picturisation of songs, than we might as well take ALL tamil song picturisations and throw them in the garbage can.
Shankar is the one who introduced music video concept to Indian cinema. (Note the word Indian.)
Its like saying Kamal doesn't know how to act or YSR doesn't know music.

<dig> I liked shankar's picturisation in his earlier films. En veetu thottathil in Gentleman is a good one. Same goes kaathalan songs. The moment he started this sets, CG and all, it had become stinking. For the first time, it was GREAT TO SEE. The effect reduced everytime after that. Worst is painting whatever he sees like a broker from a pain company. Of late, it has become repetitive too. </dig>
And I really liked the way VP picturised the songs"Yaaro" and "World cup ah jeikka poroem"... The later one is a masterpiece. Several shots depicting the gully cricket with a native touch.. wow ! Awesome..

The problem is Shankar is his own benchmark. In every new film he is expected to make better and therein lies the problem.

music video concept?...could u plz elaborate?
why do u have to link shankar,ysr with kamal?...indha ulkuthellam inga vegadhu
why would u throw everbodys picturisation into garbage?look below to see how people picturize better than shankar with limited ucks
selvaragavan picturizations - pudhepetai songs,kadhal koondaen...esp theme....theatre was in exalted state in that theme...just because of the way he picturized that theme.
vishnuvardhan - his theepidika which was shot just inside a set was more stylish than any of the "rich" shankar songs
goutham - just a jeep travel in kaaka kaaka looked damn good...do i need to mention abt his songs?
i dont have to mention abt people like maniratnam in yeser years...

I also like Indian songs. "Pachaikiligal thozhodu" will be miles ahead of any music video in the same Indian. However, after that everything was more repetitive and looked funny. He looked slightly improved with Boys "Girlfriend" song. Rest all Considering the time, amount and everything taken, I still feel they are not upto the mark. I hardly get the feel of watching a great song. They just look to me like GIANT PIZZAS.

Mudhalvan song picturizations spell grandeur in context of the larger-than-life character, the screenplay was um, 'pacy' in spite of its cliches, and 'shankar tropes'. That started his painting spree, and he got spoilt by that style. Or perhaps it was K V Anand's idea, that got into his head? Moreover, never liked any of his picturization like "Pachaikiligal thozhodu".

a song must fit the mood of the screenplay...then the video must fit the mood of the song
if u place a song with no relationship with the mood of the movie...what use of picturizing with the mood of te song?

Viv,
Both Shankar & Gowtham movies don't have songs that move the story forward (say as in Bala or Selvaraghavan films). They are mere dream sequences inserted as per director's wish.
And Shankar had never spoilt a song to the extent of what Gowtham did to Vaseegara.

Saw the movie yesterday.
Excellent
Thriller movie with fun throughout the movie. The major plus is, being a thriller, the fun handled is not irritating and for a change it is entirely enjoyable. Premji
Must see movie. In this year only few movies were watchable and this one is sure in the list. I may watch it for one more time in coming week :P
Prakashraj and Jayaram though comes in a minor role were memorable. Final twist was unexpected :P
Music was a big pluspoint Yuvan both in songs and BGW rocks
For me only negative is 3 songs coming in a span of 40 minutes
What you guys are waiting for Go, watch and enjoy it

I saw saroja today.....
Excellent movie.......Definitely one of the best movies of 2008.....
First 30 mins little bit mokkai.... after that the movie's pace picked up....nice blending of comedy and thriller.....
There are lots of one liners....Premji and Mirchi siva rocks.....
Yuvan....
His BGM is top class though he missed in some places....The villain intro music(Hip-Hop) is stylish and the ship music is rocking....and he has given the perfect BGM for the thriller....
Saroja might be better than ch-28 in terms of technical brilliance.........But i like ch-28 more than saroja .......
VP.... .....he has the talent....his ch-28 is not a fluke.....

From the telugu version's review;
"Some observations
1. The four lead actors are shown as good friends but they address each as ‘saar’ (sir)."
I think the 'saar' was inserted to make the four guys mokkkai. VP told 'what if four mokkai guys do when go through that kind of situation is Saroja' The reviewer missed the point.

Watched Saroja last night - 8.40pm show - hardly 50 people
Negatives
1. Colour - my kerala friend asked whether its an old movie.
fortunately, most parts of the movie happens at night, so, after a while it was ok.
2. Songs - YSR didn't impress me even after repeated hearings. The best song in the movie is the average maappillai thOzhan. the first song cheeky cheeky is nothing but noise.
Dosth padu dosth picturisation was enjoyable, but the song
an obvious disappointment after the high of Chennai 60028.
3. Violence - totally unnecessary for a fun movie like this.
4. Four best buddies calling each other sir, and ennaga was
5. Mokkai "punch" a'la EKSI. After a while it became irritating.
That's it! No other negatives in the movie. Total refreshing change from Chennai 60028.
For me, Saroja is the Film of the Year! And Venkat Prabhu is definitely a diretor to be on the lookout for.
What to look out for: Cameo appearances by Chennai 600028 team including Jay, YSR, VP. Also other appearances by TV stars. Special mention must be made of Bramanandam. Jayaram reprises his role in DD. Prakash Raj proves again his acting prowess.
Saroja - samalikkiraal bEshaa!

Kollywoodtoday Review - Saroja
http://www.kollywoodtoday.com/reviews/review-saroja/
Venkat Prabhu hits the bull’s eyes with a trenchant piece of work…. Saroja is the best film that can be watched more than once.
Bottom - Line: Simply best and new
Verdict: Must watch film
-
From: MrJudge on 7th September 2008 07:24 PM [Full View]
Watched it, I really liked it (though it was dragging in places, it is understandable doing a 2.30 movie is really tough with this one line story). I think I will enjoy it more while watching it again, should see it again next week if I get a chance.
-
From: MrJudge on 7th September 2008 07:37 PM [Full View]
+s:
* Yuvan's background score, without it I don't think it is possible to sit through those night scenes
* Comedy in serious scenes - this different approach made this movie right, if not it would have become another thriller movie. Though I am not a big fan of Premji, he is in his best form in this film. Without him, it is tough to get the movie going.
* Camera work - I liked it, though Sakthi Saravanan has carried the same color tone he tried for Ch-28 for Prakash Raj and Jeyaram sequence. The night scenes were good (definitely not like Agni's light effects), I was relieved.

Re. Calling saar and using neenga ponga: I think it is because of Ajay (Siva) who calls everyone Saar all the time and Premji to a certain extent. It is obvious, in your gang if someone calls others Boss then every body else will also use that word. I don't find it irritating at all.

Among the four guys only couple of guys are cracking jokes during the serious scenes and others are serious, that is smartly done. If all of them try to be funny, it would have misfired.

Santhosh subramaniam, best movie.
For your information (Since you haven't watched the telugu version). It was the cheapest rip off i had ever seen and I won't be surprised if it holds on with that tag forever. I mean I have seen remakes but this one qualifies to be the worst job ever done . I mean the camera angles, the locations, the songs, even the characters costumes, everything, I mean absolutely everything were exactly the same . I had a very tough time watching it along with my telugu friend who was chiding it for every scene being the same .
To call a cheaply made remake as one of the best tamil movies in a year is the best insult to other movies. Hub-la biased ness irukalam aana dasa worstu movie sappi suppu best movie-na, this has to be the best joke i had ever heard in hub.

stanley, if we start on remakes or copies, only very few tamil films will qualify. just to give you an idea - you may have to go back to 20 years ago if you want to see a completely original Kamal movie.
I've given up having issues on "copies" and "inspirations" otherwise we may just have to give up on Tamil movies.

Re. Cinematography in Saroja:
Sakthi has used three different colour tones for three plots (one for Prakash Raj & Jeyaram, another one for four guys and a different one for Sampath) but he also tried to have a balance among them. When the story comes to an end, it ends with Prakash Raj & Jeyaram's colour tone because it is the main theme of the movie.

IMO, Saroja is better than CH28. Yes, I accept the fact that Ch28 was more realistic and closer to your heart. But IMO, its an enjoyable movie. But mokkai konjam over dose ah irukkum. Originally Posted by MrJudge

But in Saroja, right amount of mokkai with perfect action. So i prefer Saroja to Ch28

One more thing i wanted to write in my review. but forgot
KSR is famous for blending the comedy with the story itsefl, rather than giving it as a separate track. Seriously, I see a KSR in VP in this point. He perfectly mixes the comedy even in this kinda action thriller which obviously keeps it alive and entertaining.
Keep it up VP

I don't have any issues with remakes (I have a diff POV on this for Ajith) or inspirations. But if there is NO CREATIVE INPUT from the guy who recycles it, I don't think I will like it. I might like the work temporarily. But if it is an ATTA COPY then it will lose my respect down the line. Ya.. There is nothing wrong in remaking or inspiring from good movies.
Also, for non-masala movies @ those projected as *good movies*, I will certainly expect *nativity*. I won't tolerate if anyone remakes Jab We Met or any movie AS IT IS ! Well - Taste differs !

For example, we've a new remake (actually a rip-off, but the case with the makers of the original film is probably sorted out now) in the pipeline, of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla.' It's ostensibly one of those so-called multiplex films which generally doesn't care much for various kinds of "commercial elements." But, going by the fact that Vijay (of 'Kireedam' fame) is making it, I think it's surely not going to be a patch on the original.

Not sure if I agree with you, Viraajan. I've not seen 'Judgment Night' (and frankly don't intend to Originally Posted by viraajan

Otherwise, a really forgettable film. nAlu pEr kAmedi paNNA, edhuvumE thappu illa dhAn... But, Venkat Prabhu tries to make a by-the-minute thriller that's interspersed with antithetically comic edges, but hardly succeeds. The plot/drama unfolds indifferently, the comic detours too begin to grate on one's nerves, and the thriller elements are so appallingly done that the film soon turns into a snoozefest.

I think the director has potrayed those characters well without heroism kind of stuff.

According to the movie, all they want is an escape from the baddies and their intentions is cleary not to kill them.
But, eventually they ran out of choices. Then only, they did the necessary.

The title song? MG Sreekumar has simply rehashed the title song 'Chak De Phatte' to 'ulagamE nAdaga mEdai' (recollect the opening line "yeh duniya oot patanga") for 'poi sollap pOROm'! One mischievous title, that one.

THE HINDU Review
http://www.hindu.com/cp/2008/09/12/s...1260930200.htm
Saroja
Genre: Thriller
Director: Venkat Prabhu
Cast: S.P. Charan, Premji Amaran, Shiva, Vaibhav
Storyline: A rich man’s daughter is kidnapped and four friends on a jolly trip stumble upon the bad men’s secret.
Bottomline: Laughs and thrills
Venkat Prabhu turns up trumps for the second time in Amma Creations’ ‘Saroja’ (U). The light-hearted thriller is a genre rather rare in Tamil cinema and Prabhu’s deft handling of it proves that his ‘Chennai-600028’ was no flash in the pan. A thorough entertainer, at times ‘Saroja’ also brings you to the edge of the seat.
You hear that the inspiration was ‘Babel.’ But writer-director Venkat Prabhu has taken only the concept of a few seemingly unconnected incidents linked to each other, as the base, from ‘Babel,’ and has spun a yarn that sparkles with originality. Satisfying every stratum of filmgoers isn’t by any means easy. Venkat Prabhu achieves it with a veteran’s touch. At no point does ‘Saroja’ sag.
Healthy comparisons
Kidnap drama comprises the storyline of ‘Saroja’ — a theme far removed from the gully cricket scenario of ‘Chennai – 600028,’ though love for the game does find a place again. All the faces of ‘…. 28’ are back in ‘Saroja’ at least in one scene. And if the popular refrain of the former was ‘Enna Koduma Saar Idhu,’ here it is a take on Vijay’s ‘Evalavo Pannittom Idha Pannamattoma’ line (‘Azhagiya Tamizh Magan’) again made hilarious by Premji Amaran.
Even before you get to know who Saroja (Vega) actually is or why she looks lost, she’s taken hostage. You understand her parents aren’t close to each other. They don’t show much interest in the daughter either. That’s about it. So when the mother howls that she wants her daughter back, the agony sounds a tad artificial.
Meanwhile four friends, Jagapathi Babu (S.P. Charan), his brother Raj Babu (Vaibhav), Ganesan (Premji) and Ajay (Shiva) decide to drive up to Hyderabad for an India-Pakistan one dayer. A major accident on the highway blocks traffic and forces them to change their route …
Seniors Prakash Raj and Jayaram have solid roles. Particularly Prakash, whose myriad emotions, including the sequence where he cries out loud for his lost daughter, places him on a pedestal. Even a slight exaggeration could have made it melodramatic, but Prakash revels in the balancing act. Charan has enough scope to perform, which he utilises creditably. Premji scores with his funny body language and timing in dialogue. Why is it only bro Venkat Prabhu is able to use him well?
Shiva as the braggart who lands the quartet in trouble is apt and so is Vaibhav.
Sampath as the kidnapper gets a break that’s long due. Kajal Agarwal has little to do while Nikita surprises you in a vamp like role. Towards the end Vega gets a chance to emote a little. It’s a thrilling one-day coverage of events and half the time things take place in the dark. Cinematographer Shakti Saravanan’s hard work comes through in the silhouettes and shadow play of the chasers and the chased. Editing (Praveen KL/Srikanth NB) is another strong point.
Two technicians lift ‘Saroja’ to the elevated plane it deserves – writer-director Venkat Prabhu and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. The Ilaiyaraja touches add lustre to some of the tracks. ‘Saroja’ is like watching a Hollywood product in desi style. The technical wizardry planned by Venkat Prabhu is bolstered further by Yuvan’s impact making re-recording. He also croons the ‘Cheeky Cheeky’ number on screen — he has come a long way from the camera-conscious singer of the ‘Punnagai Poovae’ days. Age has in no way touched the youthful spirit of Vaali. Otherwise he couldn’t have penned lyrics like ‘Aaja Meri Soniyae.’ Again Gangai Amaran’s rejuvenating lines for the ‘Nimirndhu Nil’ song exemplify the word power of the songster.
Stories of friends getting into trouble during their getaways aren’t new. ‘Panchthanthiram’ for example, had it. But the warp and weft of wit and humour weaved in, places ‘Saroja’ in a niche of its own. (And don’t miss the finale with Brahmanandam that comes after the credits roll at the end!)

Yet to see the film, but, happened to watch a clipping in one of the channels. The friends would be looking out for something in a dark place. Suddenly Premji says, " Dei Marudhanayagam DVD-da "
It was funny. I think VP conceived Premji's character, keeping in mind, his off-screen personality. Because he is at his comic best when doing what comes to him naturally.

Saw Saroja once again today good movie no doubt, but is this the best movie of 2008?
anyway, firmly concluded that cheeky cheeky is NOTHING but noise and irritation. songs are nowhere near chennai quallity.

In " Mudhalvan", there's a scene where people would be asked to vacate from their houses which they had occupied illegally in a housing board colony. A " Sateji" is one among them and when told to vacate the house, he would casually remark to his wife, " Saroja, samaan nikhalo..". And that's how it all started...

Saw this movie ... in Cine mania. Definetely.. sure clear pure all out fun filled entertainer.. Tamil version of " Dil chahta hai" with a hint of thriller .. which kind of got side tracked big time..
Permji.. I enjoyed watching .. this is the first time I saw him in action lol I never stopped smiling thinking his timing. lol
1) Simbu .. mannerism..
2) Rajini mimick.. " I was cornered, I was helpless " got the ultimate roar in the theatre....
3) icing on the cake was he asking.. SPB Charan.. Sir yaar sir andhaa. Figureu.. lol
Man this guy got sense of humor..

I enjoyed parts of the film. Got irritated with cheeky cheeky picturisation and Yuvan doing a casanova It was not what I expected out of the song.. Fine, Dosth picturisation was quite repetitive. However, the comedy inbetween was well handled. A rooba roo kind of song in tamil ??
The best thing about the movie is the spoof on the cinematic cliches.

spoilers
1) evvalavoe pannuroem itha panna mattoemaa
2) aandavan kodukuratha yaaraalum thadukka mudiyaathu,, aandvan thadukuratha yaaraalum kodukka mudiyaathu
3) Intro with Athiradikkaaran machan playing in the background and his reaction
IR's BGM for most of the scenes esp the BGM we know from the most famous B and C centre blockbuster film (when the van is introduced)
But yuvan had used IR's bgm excessively. Enna kodumai yuvan ithu ! ithukku pathila avarayae BGM poda vachirukalaamae !
The sudden change during the team's visit to the area threw me out of the seat for a second.. nejamaavae bayamaa irunthathu..

I am not sure whether VP is ready for a film with big stars right now. The culture here is so different, the stars want only solo performance. Even if he directs Ajith in future, I like to see his movie having some other stars on board too just like Ocean's eleven series. Image how it will be, Vijay, Ajith, Surya, Karthi, Dhanush, Simbu etc in a Oceans kind of movie in tamil. It will be really good. Originally Posted by selvakumar

I haven't seen Oceans. As you said, the culture here is so different. However, I am not against Ajith doing a multi-hero film. He is already doing it in Aegan. VP is good in comedy. I am sure he can do a good job with Thala and other heroes. It need not be Surya, karthi, simbu, dhanush, vijay etc

"Thoughts" & "Actions" - both have lot of differences. As per VP's interview, he is quite keen to do a film with Ajith. Same goes to Ajith. However, the producers didn't have much confidence in VP that he can direct a mass hero like Ajith. Originally Posted by NOV

At number four is Jayam Kondan, which is steady, and in the fifth position is Subramaniapuram

Just now got this in mail.. is this true guyz??
The thieving scumbags of the Tamil movie industry have done it again - they have stolen a nice Hollywood movie called Judgment Night (1993, Director: Stephen Hopkins), made a few cosmetic changes and called it Saroja.
First we watched Saroja.
Now, there’s not a shred of doubt in our minds that Saroja ais nothing but an outright theft of Judgment Night.
The stories are very similar - four friends are off to watch a sporting event, take a wrong turn on the highway, witness a murder by a bunch of criminals, get chased by the gang of vicious killers and finally manage to escape after killing the bad guys.
Looking for similarities between the two movies? There are plenty…Here you go:
* In both movies, four friends set off in an RV (called caravan in India) to watch a game. In Judgment Night it’s a boxing bout…in Saroja, the friends are off to see a cricket match.
* In both movies, out of the four friends two are brothers.
* In both movies, one of the friends is married and has a daughter.
* In both movies, the RV/Caravan gets stuck in traffic on the highway.
* In both movies, the friends reverse the RV/Caravan and try to take a short-cut that leads them into deadly trouble.
* In both movies, the RV/Caravan hits a man forcing them to stop and take the injured man inside.
* In both movies, the injured man is found to have been already shot by someone else.
* In both movies, the RV/Caravan is side-swiped by a car immobilizing it.
* In both movies, the injured man is shot dead by the gang of criminals.
* In both movies, the criminals try to kill the young friends because they are witness to the murder of the injured man.
* In both movies, there’s a long cat and mouse game in the dark in which the friends kill the bad guys one by one.
Minor Differences:
One of the friends is killed in Judgment Night and in Saroja there’s the kidnapping angle. But the crux of the story is on trying to kill the friends in the dark of the night and how they manage to escape.
Major Difference:
Judgment Night is a much, much better movie in terms of execution and performance by the lead actors compared to Saroja.
There are some nice lines too in Judgment Night:
One of the criminals tells the friends hiding in fear in a rail wagon - What’s that? You guys wearing cologne or is that fear.
In another instance, in a run-down apartment complex where the friends are hiding and waiting for the cops to arrive one lady tells them: Down here, people die of old age waiting for the cops.
Venkat Prabhu - Lying Swine
Saroja director Venkat Prabhu has a new name Thirutu Nai (stealing mongrel) for stealing an Hollywood movie outright and pretending that it’s original.
In an interview, this thieving director Venkat Prabhu said, Saroja vakku endha Hollywood padathaku endhamaadari sambandam kadayadhu. Adha thaan unmayana vishayam….namma panna kadhe thaa (There’s no connection of any kind between Saroja and any Hollywood movie. That’s the absolute truth….This is our original story)
Not only has this lying swine stolen the story from Judgment Night, he tries the slimy trick of introducing a red herring in interviews by claiming to have been inspired by Babel

Interesting find!

You can't have a movie without inspiration. As such this seems to be heavily inspired and not copied.

Cast: S.P.B. Charan, Siva, Premji Amaran, Kajal Agarwal, Nikitha, Prakash Raj, Jayaram
Direction: Venkat Prabhu
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja

First they made street cricket into a cult film and now as a sequel they are reviving the thriller genre in Tamil cinema – with a tinge of cricket of course. The Chennai 28 team is back with a bang and people seem to love it.
Trade Talk:
With two weeks in the run, Saroja is constantly raising the bar in collections.
Public Talk:
Mind blowing.
No. Weeks Completed: 2
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 116
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 80 %
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 27,03,985

Saroja, distributed by Pyramid Saimira, is turning out to be the biggest hit. The film is in the number one position third weekend in a row. The Venkat Prabhu power can be seen by the way Sathyam Cinemas gave promotion to Saroja, two weeks after its release, by shifting it from a smaller screen to the highest capacity screen (Big Sathyam) in the multiplex!
At number two is the new release Raman Thediya Seethai, which has taken a slow start (82 per cent opening), like all Cheran movies, but is likely to pick up due to good word of mouth.
In the third position is Poi Solla Porum, which is holding on only in multiplexes in Chennai city.
In fourth position is Pandhayam, which has taken a lukewarm opening and in the fifth position is Dhaam Dhoom.

It is doing good for sure in multiplexes. It would have already made profits. Of course this movie is not for B and C centres. Padam aarambikkum boathu English song varumboathe tension aayiduvaanga However whatever comes from them is a added profit
As far chennai, for small known faces a big release is not going to draw big crowds in all the theaters. That is why some centres we dont see a big crowds. Already third week. It would have made enough profits by now In multiplexes few more weeks it will easily get good crowd.

For big budget movies it is getting difficult to break even (unless they sell tickets at exorbitant prices) in B & C centers..

Venkat Prabhu: Big plans up his sleeve
IndiaGlitz [Friday, October 03, 2008]
Director Venkat Prabhu has struck gold in Tamil cinema with ‘Chennai 600028’ and ‘Saroja’. His ability to blend a thriller with comedy in ‘Saroja’ and handling of a popular sport (cricket) for a movie (‘Chennai 600028’) has won his name and fame.
Now he is all geared up to repeat the success with 'Goa'. It is a racy entertainer to be produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth' Ocher Studios in association Walt Disney Pictures from Hollywood.
Buzz is that Venkat Prabhu has decided to cast Premji Amaran, Vaibhav and Jai, who had been part of his earlier films.
Sources also confirmed that Venkat Prabhu would join hands with cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja again.
Rumors are abuzz that Venkat and Ashok met recently in an elite hotel and the talks between them lasted for almost an hour. The meeting between the two has sparked off rumors that Venkat Prabhu might do a movie soon for Ashok Amritraj.

From: Nerd on 5th October 2008 12:03 PM [Full View]
Finally watched Saroja - A lousy script accompanied by a decent screenplay with some good dialogues. The thriller part was pathetically done, the mixing (comedy+thriller) was quite OK but after a point (breaking point: premgi finding saroja) it became very irritating. The climax was so dumb when you compare it with the brilliant Ch-28. The climax twist was good, I did not expect it seriously but the dialogues/acting/body language were actually funny, not intentionally I assume. The editing/cinematography got on my nerves after a few minutes. I mean so many cuts, zoom ins zoom outs. They tried to make it look slick but it became an irritant to the eyes.
Songs were placed at proper places and they did not hinder the screenplay. Only in that aspect this movie betters Ch-28. Did not like the BGM, it was loud, jarring and repulsive. No BGM at a few places would have worked wonders. Liking the songs more after watching the movie though. The crash scene BGM was straight from Beethoven's rack and in fact that piece was used in A Clockwork Orange in the scene where alex *does* two girls he meets in the bar
Acting/Comedy was excellent. Loudest ROTFL for the Jai scene, I don't know why. Tason perhaps Premji was quite good, liked Siva better actually. IR (and even TR) plays a major role in making the comedy scenes work. Two thumbsups to VP because he made me ROTFL in a lot of places after a while also he does not claim anything (Bestest screenplay/bestest movie etc,.) Definitely worth a watch, I was disappointed only because Ch-28 was 100x better.
P.S. Found Vega very cute

From: Sanguine Sridhar on 5th October 2008 07:36 PM [Full View]
Watched Saroja today, I think its bit overrated IMO!
The problem that I found was VP mixed too much of comedy which actually spoiled even the serious scenes. College students stage play maadhri irrundhadhu.
Premji, he was excellent, his comedy worked as the movie progresses. Without him I think this movie is nothing.
"Yaar sir andha figure?" and later in the making of Saroja "Yaaruda 2 mudichu poda sonnadhu? #$%#" was
Over all ok movie! Third spot for the movie of the year is still vacant

That line is a reference to one of Jai's lines in Chennai 600028. When his ammA asks him to go to the nearby mechanic shed to get their bike, he shouts at her, “tation pakkaththula vIdu vENum, tation pakkaththula vIdu vENum, ‘nu solli dhAnE, angErundhu inga vandhInga…” Here, we see him stuck in the traffic jam, talking on his mobile, and it seems the house shift still continues to haunt him. “idhukku dhAn appavE, tation pakkaththula vIdu vENAm, tation pakkaththula vIdu vENAm ‘nu sonnEn…”
Interesting set of thoughts, Nerd. The film didn't work for me at all. Save for some bits of humour, it was a yawn-inducing experience. As a matter of fact, I actually dozed off momentarily towards the end of the film. (That I was watching it right after watching 'jeyam koNdAn' the previous show might also have been the reason though.)

saw saroja - good in parts.......second half didnt work at all for me.....thriller part was very cliched with glaring loopholes and ham scenes.......and since i already knew the final twist, it was all the more boring for me .....
i thot, comedy was taken a bit too far in this movie, which spoiled some serious moments......but yea, it worked very well in some scenes too - premji saying "i was helpless, i was cornered" ......i think only some of such kind of scenes worked for me.......apart from that - it was a bore for me......
kodana kodi song rocked big time........charanams were really flowing well ....other songs didnt impress me much.....BGM was terrific at places..........u1 proves he can give good BGMs for thriller subjects too
i think siva and premji saved the movie for me but not even 10% enjoyable as chennai-28....i think typing chennai-28 and Saro*** on the same line is itself a sacrilege

Maddy,
That was a good review. However, I didn't find the movie boring. It is not a repeat like Chennai - 28. I can see the movie 2 to 3 times for the comedy. But not like chennai - 28 that I can see many times.
But I think it is a good movie overall. Pasangaloda paarkurathu jolly ah irukkum..
I liked Premji a lot. He was
1) COOOOOOOOOLLLL Premji (I didn't expect it)
2) Sir, inga paarunga maruthanayagam DVD
3) I was helpless.. I was cornered
I liked the way he delivered these lines. More than that,
"evvalavoe pannittoem, itha pannamattoemaa sir"

"Imaya malayae aerittoem, parangi malai aera mattomaa sir"

I liked the comdies in Saroja a lot. VP, as Judge pointed out had emerged as a director for the male audience. I am quite impressed with the way he handles comedy in his films. As a whole, Saroja wasn't disappointing for me.
The way they show the time irritated me. His take on the MEGA SERIALS Spoof ellam super ah edupparunnu nenaikiraen. Paarpoem

Venkat Prabhu's Saroja is still the hottest film in town as proved by its Ramzan - Gandhi Jayanthi weekend crowds at the multiplexes and is back to its number one position.Last week's number one Kathalil Vizhuenthen has taken a beating and is down to number two. In the third position is Abhishek's super-hero film Drona, which took a good opening on Thursday and Friday but fell by Saturday. Poi Solla Porom, has bounced back due to the multiplex family audiences and is in the fourth position. Raman Thediya Seethai manages to hang on to the fifth position. Originally Posted by Sanjeevi

watched the movie in 'freakin' India. loved it. Very funny and loved it more than chennai-28 ( i don't know what was so great in that movie).
i liked Vaibhav very much (obviously since he's a golti),because he's the only one who actually looks like a star. his telugu song in the factory was hilarious as hell. Premji was funny too. I loved the scenes involving him and the girl (" kastapatthu kaapathi vanthatu naanu, ippa jollyah irukirathu neena? "). Shiva and Charan were great as well.

Watched this one with the parents was cracking up throughout! Premji was hi-larious..always saying the wrong things at the wrong time...like Cheran is all teary about the possibility of not seeing his wife or kid anymore while looking at photo in wallet and Premgi asks "Yaar Figuru?" And those song clips of "aayiram thamarai mottukale"with the chorus of girls appearing out of no where! Especially his facial expressions when he encounters the Saroja and he motions for the chorus girls to get lost :P too funny....even cheran didn't seem to uptight in this movie...and calling each other sir all the time...haha that was weird...good watch overall

thilak4ever asked, Hi Venkat Prabhu, I haven't seen Saroja yet. But Chennai-28 was the best film of 2007. It was nostalgic, and nice to see a seamless narrative without any cliched message in the film. It's good that you brought a different kind of "youth" film, albeit based on street cricket. Ok, here goes my question: Would you work with saleable stars like Rajini, Ajith or vijay in future? Or, do you intend to only cast "actors" who fit the characters in your script. And, when will you stop casting Premji in your films? Oray mokkai poduraar. Okay I was just kidding. And, would you work with Raaja Sr. or Rahman in future?
Venkatprabhu answers, Hey thanks. Well, if I have a script for the biggies I will surely cast them. Premgi, hmmm can't be with him can't be without him. I'd love to work with my uncle, but am too scared to tell him a situation and get a song. But one day I will.

Chennai Box Office (Oct 10-12, 2008)
Tuesday, 14 October , 2008, 16:39
Last Updated: Tuesday, 14 October , 2008, 17:02
Venkat Prabhu has become a brand with Saroja, which continues its stronghold in its sixth week at the Chennai Box office at the number one position. At second place we have Kathalil Vizhunthen which is able to sustain its spot due to high voltage publicity by Sun TV network. In third position, it is Poi Solla Porom which is very strong in multiplexes. A Telugu film Ashta Chemma a hit in Andhra, has opened well in Chennai . It has Swati (the Subramaniapuram heroine) in the lead. At fifth position, we have Jayam Kondan that has picked up and is at fifth position.
Note : Ratings are based on the box office collections and the cost of the film

I wached with Original VCD only .But most of the time , It is only dark everywhere ..I agree the story happen mostly in night ..But most of the time I hear only dialogues ,not the faces
From the hype given in this Hub ( Rolling left and right , vizunthu puRandu sirikkurathu) ,I thought the movie should have many hilarious parts especially in the first half ,but i end up laughing only once when Premji comes in bike with indian flag .
Otherwise ,the totall movie didn't even appeal to me .
I don't understand why so much hype on this movie ,especially in this hub.
is it because the story is different for tamil and the camera handling is somehow forced you to feel like "Oh! hollywood style -a eduthirukkangappa" .. nothing impressed me

Finally, managed to catch Saroja.
I must say as a thriller the film worked well. Full of clichés if you are familiar with standard Hollywood potboilers.
Venkat Prabhu really had his editors working overtime, with all those mega cuts…it works at time, and at time it is just plain irritating. But he managed the suspense well.
I like the way he handles humour. It comes mainly from the situation, not exactly from individual characters. I didn’t find Premji funny at all. Maybe a chuckle here and there. And if he wants to be taken seriously, he shouldn’t overdo the facial expressions which rather reminded me of Paandu.
Overall it’s a decent thriller with humour in it and more can be expected from Venkat Prabhu.
(I like the "serial shooting" portion. That got the biggest laugh from me and my brother. It was so accurate, from the exaggerated closeups in slow-mo, the stupid synth music and the inclusion of the king of serials, Sanmuga sundaram).

After hyping this movie by media and online forums, I have had good expectation on this movie. But i watched the movie recently. I felt like it wasn't worth the hype. it's definitely a decent movie. I didn't like prem imitating simbhu throughout the movie and delivering the dialogue "evalovo senchirukom, etha syyammattoma". In some point, i felt like the movie dragged in the middle. there are few funny scenes here and their. but i somehow did not get great laugh. At the same time, it wasn't a amature attempt.

Premji is just irrepressible. One sombre scene when they are stuck near some arbit machine with switches, he starts fiddling with the dead switches going: tyon tyon ting.... I had to pause to finish laughing.
Stupid climax. Except for that, quite an enjoyable film.

But I've to say I expected a significantly better film from Venkat Prabhu. (I say this despite having tempered my expectations that it could be an average second film before entering the theatre.) The TV aesthetics didn't sit well with me. At all. The puerile flash cuts, slow motions etc. In general, the camera work and the editing pattern were flashy in a very bad way. It's the tangential humour that kept the film ticking for me. Trust Venkat Prabhu to do that.

The 'ragging' when one goon keeps hitting Siva in the head with an empty pet bottle was very funny.

PR,
I wasn't referring to that kind of slow-mo scenes. The serious scenes were full of flash cuts and slow-mos. Remember Charan catching hold of his falling brother? Accompanied by a relief-meets-triumph background music piece? Almost the whole of the last hour with these people trying to find their way out was very ordinarily handled to say the least.
And, completely agree about the Kumaraguru scene. It was hilarious. These sort of culture things somehow spread across the state. I remember we used to ritually do this -- pick on a guy and keep hitting on his head with an empty plastic bottle while watching Cricket matches etc.

I thought Siva falls, Charan's brothers tries and loses him and then Charan.Life in the hands of the one whom he 'defeated'. Moral dilemma and all. Then onto the hands of one's whose integrity he doubted Solidarity and all. Sleazeboy getting his commeppance (Premji feels himself for bullets) all pretty dumb.
To top it all an incredibly naive climax. I mean, it could have done without a twist, dishum dishum etc.

Once again, Siva's delivery here makes it all the more funny!

Oh, tough life indeed. Strategic positioning skills is a must-have in any gathering that has more than just oneself. Originally Posted by Prabhu Ram

I watched the film, and I have to say, I'm very very disappointed. I came out with a feeling Is that all? I liked the timing of few lines, and I certainly found the gang-gag funny enough. But overall, the film didn't use the potential. The first half hour especially that Yuvan song was pathetic. As Zero had said before about editing,etc, I'd also add the film suffers from what I call Dharani-like shots with that sensational music, this didn't come off as satire either (if they intended). In any case, the technique isn't "bad" so to speak. I once read VP's favorite film director is Tony Scott, I hope he doesn't go to such levels. :P
The henchmen (police too?) with bad cops were alright. Not the sort we usually see in films. Especially this henchman who just before his death identifies Siva is a television actor, that came out rather well.

'Saroja' celebrates 100 days
Venkat Prabhu's second venture 'Saroja' proved everyone that the blockbuster hit 'Chennai -28' was no flash in the pan. Brilliant execution of a serious plot commingled with humorous flavor became the movie's USP. The Hollywood style of hiring an all new cast to bring in realism was bought to Tamil cinema by the filmmaker. While Chennai -28 delved into the life of a group of youngsters, Saroja is a tale of four friends who land themselves in trouble.
A laudable handshake could be given for director Venkat Prabhu for doing a perfect job of entertaining the audience. Fun, frolic and mayhem were abundant which glued the people to their seats. Adding to the movie's splendor, is the spectacular and spell binding background musical by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Sakthi Saravanan's cinematography and Praveen K. L and Srikanth N. B's editing work escalated the movie to new heights.
Apart from these technical aspects, innovative thoughts of creativity were speckled throughout the flick. Like casting all stars of Chennai -28 in trivial roles, guest appearance of producer, executive producer, assistant, cameraman et al, was new to Tamil cinema as we were used only to the cliched appearance of directors on screen. Veteran actors Prakash Raj and Jayaram had worthy roles to perform in the movie.
Standing tall in this list is Premji's one more punch line 'Evalavo Pannitom….' which still lingers in the mind of audiences. Mirchi Siva's way of delivering comical dialogues tickled the funny bone which is a great addition. With a bumper opening, the movie was widely appreciated by film goers and critics alike. 'Saroja' completes a successful screening of 100 days today.

Saroja – What Suriya revealed and what Silambarasan knew!
February 17, 2009
Saroja celebrated her 100th day in grand style at the Kamaraj Auditorium in Teynampet, Chennai. The evening was peppered with showers of praises for the team, patriotic messages for the Mumbai attack heroes and a heartfelt documentary about the late Audio Engineer, Sridhar.
The event was kick started with the screening of a video saluting the valiant police officers who lost their lives fighting the terrorists in the Mumbai attack.
The screening was immediately followed by the felicitation of Colonel Haridas, an Indian Army officer who has served in all the Indian border territories, by Venkat Prabhu. Venkat Prabhu also presented mementos for the theatre owners in the Chennai city and other cities in Tamil Nadu, where Saroja sustained her unrelenting run for the 100th day.
On the occasion, Suriya mentioned that he felt Saroja was a perfect blend of everything. “The mix couldn’t have been better and is superlatively done,” he noted. Suriya also revealed that Venkat used to be his school junior.
Veteran director KB commended Venkat Prabhu on his work and declared he is one of the most significant directors Tamil cinema has ever seen. “I was at a loss of words after watching Chennai 28. It was like a fresh whiff of air. And he has proved his mettle with Saroja again. I hope that his success continues in his next venture too. I trust him for that,” an emotional Balachander asserted. KB presented souvenirs to producer Siva, Venkat Prabhu and Yuvan Shankar Raja. KB also made a note of producer Amma Creations Siva’s administrative skills. “If Siva stepped into the industry during my period, I would have put his skills to use in my movies,” he noted.
Silambarasan revealed that he brought the Madurai rights of Chennai 28 after being bowled over by the movie. “I was quite sure that Saroja would be a blockbuster and that’s exactly what happened,” he reminisced. He stated that Yuvan Shankar Raja has the potential to grab the attention of international cinema the way Rahman has done.
Sneha, who briefly addressed the audience, mentioned that she is spellbound by Venkat Prabhu’s directorial skills. She also revealed about her being a part of Venkat’s next project Goa.
A video documentary on the late Sridhar (Audio Engineer for renowned movies such as Jodha Akbar, Lagaan and Dasavatharam) was screened at the event. Sridhar, who has worked with the biggest names in the industry and won 4 national awards, was a part of the Saroja crew.
The event saw participation from the who’s who of the industry including that of directors Dharani, K S R, Radhika Sarathkumar, Vaali and many other noted producers and directors. Hosted by Divyadarshini and Dheena, the show also had dance performances by the Maanada Mayilaada team, who performed for the songs from Saroja.
