Varalaxmi Sarathkumar's debut directorial S Saraswathi, starring herself in the lead role has landed on OTT platform Prime Video.

A crime thriller, S Saraswathi revolves around a mother seeking justice for her missing daughter. Upon release on March 6, the film, which was previously titled Saraswathi, garnered positive as well as mixed reviews from audiences and critics.

An excerpt from our CE review of the film read, "As a director, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar chooses a subject that has been explored several times in Telugu cinema. Stories revolving around sexual assault and harassment of children are, unfortunately, not new. However, Varalaxmi attempts to present it with a different perspective by adding elements of crime investigation and psychological drama. Unfortunately, the director reveals too many clues early in the narrative, making it easier for viewers to predict the story, and that is the main drawback."

The cast of the film also includes Prakash Raj, Priya Mani, Kishore, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Radhika Sarathkumar, Nasser, Thulasi, Sapthagiri, Srikanth Iyengar, Mime Gopi, Hareesh Peradi, Raghu Babu, Getup Srinu, Venkat, Niveksha, and Pramila Rani.

S Thaman has composed music for Saraswathi. The crew of the film also includes AM Edwin Sakay as the director of photography, Venkat Raajen as the editor, and Sudheer Macharla as the art director.

Varalaxmi has directed Saraswathi from a story by Sai Madhav Burra. Her sister Pooja Sarathkumar had also backed alongside her under their maiden production venture Dosa Diaries banner. Anthony Praveen Daniel had served as the executive producer on the film.
