The first half of Saala Khadoos has been quite interesting with the narration taking the major role. The stunning presence and stylish makeover of R Madhavan is a show stealer for sure. Except some unwanted songs and other aspects, the complete first half of the movie has been managed to be gripping and engaging. It brings lot of curiosity among the audience to wait eagerly for the second half.

The second half of the movie which has to be perfect in every aspect fails to come out so. The unwanted romanctic episodes that have been indulged forcefully deviates the film. The songs too are the barriers for the film’s flow and the movie gets interesting during the pre-climax. The climax has been shot well though its completely predictable. On the whole the second half of Saala Khadoos has been ok but it fails to reach the expectations of the audience.

R Madhavan has been blamed and he has been criticized that he never cares about his physique. He has taken his time and he has come up with a stylish makeover for the film which has been quite impressive. His ruggish performance in the film is the major highlight of Saala Khadoos undoubtedly. Ritika Singh is sure the second surprise of the film and the makers should be appreciated for casting her. She has done a brilliant job as Madhi and she has been challenging with her presence. All the other actors have been decent with their assignments.

The story of Saala Khadoos has been known and predictable. The screenplay makes the film brilliantly executed except some small flaws. The dialogues have been decent and apt. The music has been suitable and the songs act like barriers throughout except one song that reveals Madhi’s makeover. The cinematography is the major highlight and the movie looks realistic because of the excellent work by the cinematographer. The production values have been rich and the director failed to take the film to the next level because of some flaws in the second half of the film.

Final Word:

Saala Khadoos is a movie that will not let down because of the stupendous performances by the lead actors. Unwanted songs and forced romance deviates the film.
