Sathamindri Mutham Tha Movie Review: In Sathamindri Mutham Tha, Vignesh (Srikanth) rescues Sandhya (Priyanka Timmesh) after she has an accident and loses her memory. He takes her to his house and poses as her husband. The film then proceeds to tell us that Vignesh is a dangerous killer whom the police are on the lookout for.

There’s a lot to the plot that makes it sound compelling but none of that has translated into the execution. The film initially seems like an intriguing thriller. But, not even halfway through, it becomes clear that all our hopes are redundant. Here, what happens is that a good enough basic plotline is cheapened and diluted with misplaced dialogues and not one but two gratuitous seduction songs.

The film would have worked much better with better dialogues. Many of the lines used in the film are even unintentionally comical. The English dialogues, in particular, give off a manufactured vibe. To show that the Srikanth character is dangerous, we have the police officer (Hareesh Peradi) mouth lines like ‘He is so smart’ repeatedly. If that wasn’t enough, he goes on to add, ‘He is a phantom.’

By the end of it all, when we get to know who is behind Sandhya’s accident, the acting and the staging make the reveal feel lame. The supposed-to-be serious but turned out to be funny dialogues in Sathamindri Mutham Tha will make for a never-ending list. Lines like ‘I will be there for you to watch over you like a guardian angel’ and ‘Are you man enough?’ don’t help the film at all.

Both of the lead female characters in the film can be labelled as stereotypical. One is an ideal woman, as a character in the film states—a sophisticated and decent woman. While we are told by the film itself that the other woman doesn’t fall into the film’s definition of those terms. Even a reliable artiste like Hareesh Peradi cannot save this film from its fate.
