Sagar Alias Jackie: Reloaded (2009) User Reviews

Super stylish.but.....substance less

[zizourono · 6/10 · 28 March 2009]

'Sagar Alias jackie'is the sequel to the yesteryear hit movie 'Irupataam Noottaandu'.It was hyped as the most stylish Indian movie before its release..But unfortunately it remains all style and no substance.'Jackie' the smuggler played by Mohanlal(one of the most flexible actors in India) is simply superb.But Amal neerad couldn't compile a strong story to this all style package.From the start of the movie mohanlal appears in stylish costumes and gets in & out of luxury cars,shakes hands with other people with heart stopping background music.'Indu' played by Shobhana add some 'family' element to the movie.Bhavana plays a reporter with ease.Jyothirmayi's item number adds glamour.

Suman has played the villain role with power.but he wasn't given more time in this movie..All other co-stars including Jagathy,Manoj.k.jay an etc add flavour to this movie.The movie puts a sudden break at the climax..which irritates the viewers.Gopi sunder, the music director gives promise with above average songs.

Overall 'Sagar Alias jackie Reloaded' is watchable..at least for its style statement & thumping background score.Its not going to be a super hit,but it will for sure revolutionize Malayalam cinema...

sagar with a cool theme song

[timesquare66 · 6/10 · 12 May 2010]

The Theme song of this movie is good and may appeal for the youth. Action scenes were good.The let down of this movie are mohanlal's expressionless emotions and his chemistry with bhavana. Mohanlal looked cool in all scenes.Manoj k Jyan played his part well. Too bad shobana was not paired opposite mohanlal.She acted well in her small part.The supporting actors were cool too. Bhavana had nothing much to do except look pretty in her song. Jyothermai is in an item song, since when did she stick only to item songs? She should have got some role too. Predictable movie which is another let down. I liked one dialogue of mohanlal to manoj "You know sagar as your friend well but you don't know jacky the enemy". Mohanlal did not do any action roles after this movie. Mohanlal can still do better action roles, but he must be directed well with adipoli dialogues like narasimham,ravanaprabhu,naran.

cliche story but some good action sequence are their

[kiranvs-02523 · 4/10 · 2 September 2020]

Overall movie was boring. characters were not well crafted.

Disappointing!!!

[zenode · 1/10 · 29 March 2009]

Big B was a pathbreaking movie considering the visual style and action.It was a fine work but not a great movie.But SAJ disappoints in all the fields.I admit it has style, but unlike Big B the movie doesn't have any magic moments.U have Mohanlal walking in slow motion the entire time.The Action scenes were not thrilling,the plot was so stupefying,it's just the old wine in new bottle.Mohanlal's performance was intense.Cinematography was good ,Amal Neerad himself did it.S.N.Swamy is outdated.It was a wrong decision to hand him the scripting duties which i think may have made Amal Neerad confined.The Script had utterly failed the Visual Style of SAJ with bad plot uncool one liners, and idiotic humour.Forgettable Songs,Background score was heavy,gave me headaches.The Chemistry between Mohanlal and Bhavana was ridiculous & unneeded.Altogether SAJ is a disappointing movie,doesn't deliver at all,go in if you like Mohanlal and some cool shots!

Dumb movie

[superhitmaker · 1/10 · 16 April 2009]

Watch this movie if you love movies that are 'so bad' it's good.

All this movie has is Mohanlal walking accompanied to a background score.

He walks and talks. Walks and talks some more. And some more. And a little more. And then the film ends. And he talks some more.

The production design is good. So are the costumes. Two redeeming points in this otherwise sorry effort.

The sun flare shots are overdone.

Frankly, it's Mohanlal who saves the day.

The only scene that works and blows life into a dead audience, is the scene set to the old background score composed by Shyam. Where Mohanlal introduces himself as Sagar Alias Jacky.

The only thing dumber than the movie is the dumb audience. Mistaking visual trickery for style. That too quite ordinary visuals lacking heart, soul or cinematic vision. The staging is static and lacks dynamism.

For style - go watch Chunking Express or Kill Bill or even No Country for Old Men OR go watch Ayan (tamil) or Aamir, Ghajini or Johnny Gaddar or A Wednesday.

Yo, Amal Neerad, looks like all you know is putting on some style. But style isn't enough to make a good movie.

Go back to making ads.

All style no substance

[ganeshkss97 · 1/10 · 6 April 2011]

Sagar alias Jackie,known to be the stylish movie in Malayalam is awful.

It is rich in style.No doubts. But lacks substance.

The same year we had a Bollwood movie released named Blue which was high on style but lacked story.

Direction by Amal Neerad is bad.

The music is bad.Barring the title track.

Cinematography is excellent.

Performance wise-Superstar Mohanlal rocks!The baddies are bad,while Shobhana and Bhavana are okay.We get even to see Pranav Mohanlal,son of Mohanlal.

Overall Sagar alias Jackie is bad.

Mass action movie

[bamefibe · 9/10 · 26 April 2019]

Good action movie with good direction and cinematography

One of my favorites

[abindas · 10/10 · 23 September 2015]

I agree that it has lot of style and is lot of style from beginning to end, But it is a great movie where Mohanlal showed his skills very well and has no reason to be rated less!! I have watched it more than 40 times and still love to watch it when I feel like getting some courage and power. The confidence in the dialogue's and cinematography are excellent features of this movie. Even after watching the movie several times, every single time i get goosebumps when I watch the confidence of the Character Sagar Alias Jacky. The scenes where Mohanlal lets know Shobana that her child need not worry about any revenge when he grows up and such scenes where he speaks with the style of a Don or Leader is really mind blowing.

Best blockbuster of the century

[xirijosuv · 10/10 · 21 April 2019]

Sagar Alias Jacky (Mohanlal) is a gangster who is known for solving problems among big gangs. The Chief Minister's(Nedumudi Venu) son-in-law, Manu(Manoj K Jayan) is kidnapped and the police are unable to find a clue.

Indu decides to call her best friend Sagar to help find her husband. Sagar calls his best henchmen from all over Kerala for the job.

Mass movie of the century

[hone-34930 · 10/10 · 21 April 2019]

Amazing malayalam movie with a gangster plot and unpredictable climax

Very Stylized

[rsr200222 · 8/10 · 17 April 2009]

SAJ is a very stylized movie. Even though the story is not that good. Watch the movie if you are a great Mohanlal fan...Its worth to see his actions. The combination of Mohanlal with Bhavana doesn't seem to match. If you don't have anything else to do, this movie is worth while to watch. It looked like the film uses an English movies background score. Jyothirmayi in an item number with a small skirt on was just sad. It's not good to see a talented actress like her do item numbers like this. Some of the scenes remind people of the English movie 'bourne ultimatum'. Mohanlal didn't show a lot of expression in this film, which doesn't impress a lot of people. Its very rare to see him without a lot of expression, maybe its because of the character. The film doesn't justify to original movie 'Irupatham Noottandu'. Even though, they been saying its not the second part of that movie and they only took the character's name from the movie. Overall, The movie doesn't have an originality, but like i said if you are a great Mohanlal fan go ahead and watch it.

One of the stylish movies ever in Malayalam

[joyel_george · 8/10 · 19 March 2011]

This movie is fully loaded with style and action. Dialogue presentation are extraordinary. This is also one of the big budget movies in Malayalam and the biggest hits in the Malayalam film industry. And the Director of the movie is a well known cinematographer in the Indian film industry. And this is his second venture as a director. And this has been a great success. Initial collection was a record breaker in the Malayalam industry. The versatile actor Mohanlal is the prime reason behind the success of this movie. It is a part sequel of a mega hit movie in Malayalam released in 1987. And the actor who have been a Super star since then still continues after 2 decades into this movie.

i rated it only 8 due to the inefficiency in scripting. It is the only disappointing factor in the movie. Beside that, the movie is 100% entertaining. Go for it if u search for entertainment.

Mohanlal greatest movie of the century

[fipasawono · 10/10 · 22 April 2019]
