Sathyanathan is about one who always tells the truth, but due to his flaws in character he is crucified. His major flaw is loose tongue and being over smart. His leaked audio tapes are supposed to be a result of his loose tongue rather than his actual involvement. He is such a sweet guy who would never do it because he is Sathyanathan. Pan-Indian obsession is also present in the film in a form that could be thought out in Sathyapurshotaman's regular films. Major Ravi would have been better for the NIA Officer's role and for creating credibility of association that the film sought. Sathyapurshothman seems like he has gone through a lower eyelid lift to slide back as a lovely image in the heart's of mass followers. Apart from the subliminal messaging, it's an okay story with an ample opportunity to feast on the actor's yesteryear antics and talents, and without any cheap double entendres. Is it film ? No, it is a project made for a particular purpose and to bag cash if their is interest among people to enjoy antics of a 50 year old man. Last-time, a version of it was in Bro Daddy. The image's in the opening credits seemed like the film was meant for someone else and then it was repurposed, it seemed like a whitened out Manoj K. Jayan. Film was made into a perfect brand carrier, heavy subliminal messaging from the beginning to end, planned success celebrations started even before the film was properly launched and staged interview moments alongside with fans from all ages was a good show. It feels like Sathyapurshothman has successfully tested the waters. This is legendary power-play, something political parties should learn on how to mold a positive narrative for Keralites even after conducting and behaving badly as a human being. A pleasant thing witnessed in the film was involving some semi-forgotten actors and actresses back onto the big screen.

Nothing extraordinary but deserves better verdicts
sreeharivenat27 September 2023
Voice of Sathyanathan is devoid of that certain element of blunder which brimmed in most of the recent Dileep movies. And when considering his recent long absence in Malayalam Cinema, Voice of Sathyanathan seems like a good resemblance of his portending success.
Several Dileep movies are known for the cringe and bland exhibition of comedy. That is not seen reoccurred here. After quite an amount of time I was able to watch and laugh instinctively at a Dileepettan movie and that has not happened since King Liar. So, It really felt satisfactory. Not to mention the other actors such as Siddique Ikka who was hilarious with his display of physical comedy. The touch of Jagapathy Babu starring as an ethical character proved to be a unique and good attempt. Overall, I would say this movie will not disappoint a family audience as most of the Dileep movies have never done before.

Comedies worked out
josephsamual23 October 2023
Coming off a long hiatus from Dileep's recent works, 'Voice of Sathyanathan' presents itself as an average movie that manages to break free from the tired trope of body shaming, a breath of fresh air in Dileep's filmography.
What stands out most are the well-executed comedic elements that inject humor without resorting to offensive stereotypes. While the plot might not be a masterpiece, it's worth a watch purely for the comedic brilliance it offers.
One of the pleasant surprises in 'Voice of Sathyanathan' is its pacing. Unlike some films that can drag on, this one manages to keep things moving along, ensuring you're engaged throughout.
Joju George deserves a special mention for his stellar acting. His portrayal adds depth to the film, and the emotional aspects resonate strongly with the audience. His performance elevates the overall experience, making it one of the highlights of the movie.
Makarand Deshpande's has problems with dialogue delivery which I felt somewhat unclear, making it challenging for the me to fully grasp his talk.

Dissapointment from Rafi-Dileep combo
appusnikhil17 August 2023
We don't expect a big blockbuster from Dileep and most of his movies are not even logical but I do enjoy that kind of movie because it's a fun-filled ride with lots of comedies. But sadly comedies were not working in this movie. There were very less fun moments and the story even lacked a proper screenplay. I expected a lot from Dileep in this movie but it was disappointing.
Anyway, it's good to see Veena Nandakumar getting more films and just like his counterpart Johny Antony famous screenwriter Benny P Nayarambalam has also entered into the world of acting. It was also a delight to see Jagapathi Babu after a long hiatus in Mollywood but sadly the movie is a disaster.

An over fixated movie.

It's a complete waste of time. 2hrs 20 min of miscommunication and cinematic blunder. The story line has many unwanted unnecessary typical deleep things, and his somewhat feminin mannerism which has no relation with the actual thread of story. The method of acting delivered by most of the supporting actors mismatch with that of hero's performance. One can really feel that the writer had made this movie seeing someone else in mind and as complete thriller, but destined to release it as a comedy movie with a comedy actor.
JoJo's characters now a days feels like a stereotype. And Saranya Nandakumar has done a decent performance with her limited time onscreen, A high potential actress yet to be explored.

A Fun Family emotional entertainer !
Its not a great film, not at all a realstic film, it has some logical issues and cliches but its a dileep Cinema which Family audience Love , yeah thats it ...!
Stand out performance is Joju George Intense role and Joju George that is a dynamic combo THESE DAYS ,raffi did fine work over-all as writer and director!
And smoothest role ever for Jagapathi Babu Siddique is funny and music n bgm is decent ,other technical sides is weak !
And surely i can say there is only one family super star; Dileep Neatly done and shine in his role as SATHYANATHAN looks like super hit is loading ... hopefully it will ....!

Such a time drainer

What have you made.. Story for the sake of story comedy just because Dileep in the movie you forcefully made some crappy sheet. Please don't waste money time energy of people. Title: "Absolute Disaster: A Complete Waste of Time"
I can't believe I wasted precious hours of my life watching this movie. It's a cinematic catastrophe in every sense of the word. From the abysmal acting to the incoherent plot, this film is a train wreck that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
The plot is an incomprehensible mess.
The dialogue is so cringe-inducing that I found myself cringing in my seat
In short, this movie is a disaster from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Save your time and money and avoid this cinematic train wreck at all costs.

It's a great feel good entertainer... Never miss to watch it on theatres with your family.. worth watching.
Dileep as usual did a great performance Joju George has also done the job perfectly First half is a bit lengthy.... The humour worked well on some places... A decent first half and a very good second half .... Other cast also have done a good performance... Never miss it on theatres.. do watch it with your family.... Felt the story little bit old but still if you go to the theatres with your family it is worth watching.... After disaster keshu ee veedinte nadhan this is something great to watch and a great comeback for the janapriya Nayagan dileep.. Thank you for reading my review.🤝

Very Disappointing
abhinandh-086041 October 2023
The film followed a familiar comedic formula, but it didn't manage to make any laughter. The direction and storyline left very poor, and below average in all aspects.
No connection between the scenes and characters. Exaggerating the storyline . Despite its attempt at humor, the comedic elements felt repetitive and failed to show any genuine laughter.
No idea why did they extend it into more than two hours.
Fell short of delivering an enjoyable cinematic experience.
I hope that in future Malayalam cinema will continue to push the boundaries of creativity and captivate audiences with fresh and engaging narratives.

Fun family entertainment movie
ashvinsajan31 July 2023
Its a good fun family movie. Dileep performance is nice. Old vintage dileep is back. Joju George acting was very nice emotional scene are fabulous. Dileep-Veena combo is good. Dileep- Siddique combo humour are completly workouted. Its a fantastic family comedy movie and the movie doesn't compared to earliest Dileep -Raffi movies, its a different movie comedy thriller movie. Simple story with some realistic and unrealistic things.. Dileep -Siddique slapstick humour are very fun and others are situational comedies. Veena nadakumar character is bold and loud its a different approach and she act thats very nicely.
Great comeback for Dileep

Movie review: Sound of Satyanathan
Dileep, the renowned actor known for his impeccable comic timing, returns to the silver screen with a captivating performance in a movie that seamlessly blends comedy and drama. The film takes an unexpected turn as it delves into the serious consequences of a seemingly harmless act.
In this entertaining narrative, Dileep's character finds himself in a series of comical predicaments due to his knack for getting into trouble with his innocent yet provocative remarks. However, the story takes a dramatic twist when a miscommunication leads to his detention, with authorities mistaking him for a potential threat to the Indian president. This turn of events sets the stage for a thrilling and emotionally charged plot.
While behind bars, Dileep's character encounters Joju George, a man who is wrongly accused of engaging in terrorist activities and is facing the death penalty. As fate would have it, Dileep holds the key to clearing Joju's name and unraveling the truth behind the accusations. This unexpected alliance between the two characters forms the crux of the movie, creating an engaging narrative that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
As the movie progresses towards its climax, it successfully explores themes of justice, redemption, and the power of friendship. The narrative encourages reflection on the consequences of our words and actions, as well as the importance of standing up for what is right.
The film's screenplay skillfully weaves together humor, suspense, and heartfelt moments, captivating viewers from start to finish.
Highly recommended
