Sachi's 'Anarkali' marks a welcome detachment from the script writer duo that he had been a part of, and as an independent writer-director, he displays a panache that was surprisingly invisible as yet.
Santhanu (Prithviraj) arrives at Kavaratti with the hope of unearthing the mystery behind the disappearance of his love Nadira (Priyal Gor), and aided by his friend Zacharia (Biju Menon) and the local acquaintance Koya (Suresh Krishna) endeavours to lay out the climax to his long standing romance.
There aren't many surprises that 'Anarkali' holds in store, as it narrates a tale that we have been told a million times before, apart from the fact that it has been set against the backdrop of a Naval base, where Santhanu happens to be an officer and Nadira, the juvenile daughter of hic commandant Jaffer Iman (Kabir Bedi).
For an astute viewer, 'Anarkali' stills holds promise, in that it demonstrates that despite having an oft depicted story at its disposal, a film could very well transform itself into an appealing watch by employing bright strategies that make its premise appear unfamiliar.
Sachi makes an intelligent move in having successfully brought in a massive difference by rooting his tale on the soils of an island, and also in having incorporated the very peculiar social milieu of the place into it. It is only with a sense of curiosity hence,
