After a few weeks of its run in the theatres, RJ Balaji's latest film Sorgavaasal is gearing up for its OTT release. The film is directed by debutant Sidharth Vishwanath, an erstwhile assistant of filmmaker Pa Ranjith.
On the coming soon section of Netflix, the OTT platform has revealed that the film will be released on December 27.
Sorgavaasal, which hit theatres on November 29, revolves around RJ Balaji's character who is wrongfully imprisoned. During his time in prison, he meets various inmates and questions whether such places really reform people. The film opened to mixed reviews upon release.
Our CE review of the film read, "Sidharth Vishwanath has a distinct filmmaking style but it somehow ends up detrimental to the storytelling. Over-designed name cards for character introduction, vital scenes filled to the brim with music, the camera rolling around in the mud with the fighters, a frame being shown repeatedly to hammer home the allegory, and hyper-stylised editing, all work to pull our attention away, which makes sure we don’t connect with the characters or the proceedings on screen."
Apart from Balaji, the film has Saniya Iyappan as the female lead, with Selvaraghavan, Karunas, Balaji Sakthivel, Natty, Sharaf-U-Dheen, Hakkim Shah, Ravi Raghavendra, and Samuel Robinson in prominent roles.
Sorgavaasal is written by Thamizh Praba, Ashwin Ravichandran and director Sidharth Vishwanath. On the technical crew, the film has music by Christo Xavier, cinematography by Prince Anderson, editing by Selva RK and art direction by S Jayachandran. Sorgavaasal is backed by Think Studios and Swipe Right Studio.
