[edit] Plot
Sabari goes on a 'revenge' mode and bumps off the rowdy elements, who are disturbing peace and tranquility in the city.
[edit] Movie Review
From a serious cop to a caring doctor, it is a transformation for Captain Vijayakanth. But his mission remains the same and that is, eliminating the evil elements from the society.
Seemingly inspired by Ramana, director Suresh has woven a script which suits Vijayakanth's new-found political image and gives him enough scope to flex his muscles and take on the baddies.
A one-man army, Vijayakanth goes on a 'revenge' mode and bumps off the rowdy elements, who are disturbing peace and tranquility in the city. For the flip side, the movie has loads of punch dialogues explaining Vijayakanth's political ideologies.
Neither the story nor the screenplay is new for a Captain's film. The hero is pitted against a bunch of baddies. But the director has chosen the Government Hospital as the background and this makes for some pertinent observations and gives a context to the script. Vijayakanth, who plays a cardiologist in GH exposes the pitiable condition in government hospitals. A do-gooder, he goes around helping the deserving and the needy.
Jyothirmayi is Heroine of the Film. After a few encounters, she gets inspired by his good ways and falls in love with him. Malavika plays a house surgeon in the hospital whose love for Vijayakanth is one-sided. Pradeep Rawat, Pithamagan Mahadevan and Aryan play the villains.
Dr Sabarivasan (Vijayakanth) is a senior cardiologist in Chennai Government Hospital. He tries to set things in order in the Indian medical system. He successfully performs an open-heart surgery on a young girl which wins him admiration from Nandhini (Jyothirmayi).
Dr Sabari comes across a gang of dreaded gangsters and he helps the police nab them. In turn, he incurs the wrath of the Vajravelu (Pradeep Rawat), a real estate shark, whose brother meets his fate at the hands of police after being caught by Dr Sabari.
It's now a showdown between Dr Sabari and Vajravelu. Who prevails in the end forms the crux.
Pradeep Rawat and Pithamagan Mahadevan have done their parts well.
A few scenes including those at the Lankan refugee camp where Dr Sabari holds a medical camp boasts of Captain's hard hitting dialogues against his political opponents. Those scenes try to project the atrocities faced by refugees at the hands of the border police. They have been sensitively picturised and they truly call for some retrospection.
Vijayakanth appears in trendy costumes singing romantic duets in foreign locales with both Jyothirmayi and Malavika.
Mani Sharma’s music is foot-tapping and racy. The stunts by Rocky Rajesh is a major highlight of the movie. Dialogues by Pattukottai Prabhakar add fillip to the film.
It's Vijayakanth all the way who with his brainy and brawny ways restores order in the society.

[edit] Music Review
Sabari - Music by Mani Sharma Mani Sharma, known for his foot-taping numbers, teams up with director Suresh for Vijayakanth starrer Sabari.
Quite popular for his peppy beats, Mani Sharma has managed to render a catchy album, keeping in mind the mass image of 'Captain'.
A mix of peppy and melodious songs, Sabari comes as a whiff of fresh air among the recent Vijayakanth songs. Sabari has five numbers with the likes of Tippu, Sujatha, Kalyani, Rahul Nambiar rendering them. Kabilan and Na Muthukumar have penned the lyrics for the album.
Aavanna Akkanna (Tippu, Sujatha)
Mani Sharma makes a beginning with a melodious tune. Soft to the ears, the songs have good instrumentation. Reminding one of a recent Telugu number, the song gets a lift, thanks to Tippu's voice. Mani Sharma could probably have avoided the chorus in between.
Ossama Ossama (A V Ramanan, Naveen, Rahul Nambiar)
A peppy song, it has all the ingredients to top the charts. Rendered in a very energetic fashion by Ramanan, it has a vibrant instrumentation. Since the movie is supposedly about doctors, lyricist Kabilan has used words like X-ray and ECG for the song. The rap in the interlude is catchy.
Oru Murai Sonnal (Naveen, Bhargavi)
A mix of reggae, rap and pop, the song begins with mild instrumentation. It shifts gear in between and goes on to take speed.
Bhargavi's voice has enough force. Unfortunately, the instruments seem to dominate the lyrics. However, it is definitely a foot-taping number that would make one shake his legs.
Aalayamani (Kalyani)
A soft melody in the album, the song is based on lullaby. Mani Sharma has used the likes of guitar, sitar and other stringed instruments well. Easy on the ear, the song has temple bells accompanying the lyrics, giving the listeners a fresh feel. Kalyani's voice fits the bill well.
Om Enum Manthirathaal (Ranjith, Naveen, Rahul Nambiar)
Supposedly the title song of the movie. It introduces the hero. Beginning with the chanting of a mantra, it sings paeans of the hero. Describing him as the saviour of the universe, the song has loud instruments accompanying it. This song is sure to find a place straightaway among the Captain fans.
