TBH, I have watched very few good Hindi thrillers with a female in the lead. When I came across the trailer of Divya Khossla starrer Savi directed by Abhinay Deo, I was instantly hooked. Also, it stars talented actors like Anil Kapoor and Harshvardhan Rane in important roles. The film is going to hit the theatres on May 31, this Friday and I have 5 reasons why this edge-of-the-seat thriller looks like a must-watch! Read on.
1. Divya Khossla, Of Course!
Well, Divya Khossla leading in a nail-biting thriller is the main reason to watch Savi. From the trailer, it is certain that we’re going to see the actress in a never seen before avatar and role! Her character looks interesting, we can expect a brilliant character arc too. She is a naive housewife but doesn’t hesitate once to plan a risky mission of breaking into jail only to save her husband, now that sounds intriguing, right? This journey of her character and how the actor portrays the role is something I am looking forward to.
2. Anil Kapoor’s Character Is Giving Mystery!
From the trailer of Savi, I could not figure out the character of Anil Kapoor. Barring the fact that his character will help Savi (Divya Khossla) on her mission, Anil Kapoor’s character is still very mysterious. Looks like he will play the role of a cunning imposter because we see him with different looks in the film’s trailer.
3. The Genre And A Woman’s Jail Break Journey!
I am already seated! This could be a good suspense thriller led by a female actor that we have been looking for for a long time! The story looks promising and I want to see how Divya Khossla’s character plans and executes the task of breaking into a British prison which is well-secured.
4. It’s Directed By Abhinay Deo
Say no more! Savi is directed by Abhinay Deo. He has directed some amazing movies like Delhi Belly, Force 2 and Blackmail. The actor is known to make good films in genres like dark comedy and thriller, so how do we not see what he has cooked in his upcoming film?
5. The Film Is A Modern Concept On The Idea Of Sati-Savitri
That’s intriguing. Since childhood, we have all heard the mythological story about how Savitri fought Yamraj to bring back her husband, and director Abhinay Deo recently explained that Savi takes inspiration from the story too. The difference is that the film is made relevant in modern times. This context has made the film’s plot engrossing!
