Sabdham gets a delayed release in TN theatres owing to KDM issues

With the release initially slated for February 28, director Arivazhagan's Sabdham, starring Aadhi in the lead, got a delayed release owing to the KDM issues.

It was expected that the bookings would open after talks on February 28th night. But the deadlock continued till this noon, after which the issue was sorted amicably. The bookings for the film were opened for the afternoon shows on Saturday.

Speaking about the issue, director Arivazhagan said that "Every creator has to cross this at some times!'. He apologised for the delay and thanked for the patience.

An excerpt from the CE review of the film reads, "Sabdham, for all its technical brilliance, makes the cardinal sin of the horror genre by failing to deliver a single thrilling moment. Moreover, the desperation is palpable with red herring jump scares, and it is almost always something predictable like a prank or a video game pause screen. Such attempts reveal the filmmaker’s lack of confidence in the story, and that is unfortunately transmitted to the audience as well. The story clearly does not deserve such disrespect, as it is ripe with several interesting ideas."

Sabdham stars Aadhi as a paranormal investigator and Lakshmi Menon as a doctor who delves into a chilling sequence of events. Simran, Laila, Redin Kingsley, MS Bhaskar, Rajiv Menon, Vivek Prasanna, and TSR Srinivasan also star in the movie.

The technical team consists of Thaman composing music and lyrics written by Viveka, Arun Bathmanabhan as the director of photography, Sabu Joseph VJ doing the editing, Manoj Kumar as the art director, and Stunner Sam handling the stunt department.
