Review of the film Sardar: Despite some obvious problems, this spy thriller starring Karthi is entertaining and intriguing, partly because of some outstanding action and the star.
You should take PS Mithran seriously since he strives to consistently push the boundaries of filmmaking. Irumbu Thirai, a fantastic cybercrime thriller that was his breakout debut, was followed by Hero, a critically lauded superhero thriller. With Sardar, a moderately absorbing spy thriller that tackles a very urgent problem, Mithran now makes a notable comeback. Sardar has some extremely interesting stretches while having a second half that is mainly predictable, and it sincerely tries to educate Tamil audiences to the world of spies. The conclusion isn't revolutionary, but it leaves you with the impression that this story had a lot of potential.
Karthi portrays inspector Vijay Prakash, a publicity-hungry character who will stop at nothing to generate headlines. His serious efforts have caused Tamil Nadu Police to become a frequently discussed subject on social media. Vijay's dedication to his career, however, is compromised by the fact that his father was a former spy who has been labelled a traitor by the government. Because Vijay is only thought of as the son of a spy who betrayed his own country, he has become increasingly resentful of his father.
When a crucial document disappears from the R&AW wing's secret vault, Vijay makes it his life's work to find the culprit. Vijay discovers that his father, who was once labelled a traitor, has been rotting in a prison in Bangladesh for 32 years during this process. The father, who goes by the codename Sardar, is likewise portrayed by Karthi. The story introduces his father as a stage performer turned spy in the flashback as Vijay strives to learn more about his father. The rest of the narrative centres on Vijay's quest to learn whether his father had rebelled against his own country and went rogue.
