Daivam Sakshi

Story : Iqbal returns from Kuwait in hopes of starting a small business in his hometown. He dreams of a simple life supporting his son's dream of becoming an aeronautical engineer. But a series of bad financial decisions change his fate forever.

Review : Written and directed by Snehajith, Deivam Sakshi was released this week without any fanfare. Inspite of names like Suraj Venjarammood, Madhupal, Sunil Sukhada, and the likes on the cast Deivam Sakshi will need a miracle to save it.
Iqbal, an expatriate, returns home deciding to start a small business in his native so that he can support his son's dreams of pursuing a career in aeronautical engineering. But some bad financial moves wrecks havoc in his life.

Suraj Venjarammood is undoubtedly am artist worth his weight in salt. But Deivam Sakshi has a script that is a huge let down. It starts as the story of an expatriate settling down in his native. When Iqbal starts a shop selling devotional articles in a temple premise, it briefly dwells on religious tension. But soon it shifts focus to a series of bad financial decisions that wreck havoc for Iqbal and his family, nose-diving into a terror and underworld plot. It superficially skips from one cliche to another trying to tell too many stories but ending up saying none. Deivam Sakshi also suffers from amateur making. Visually the film is somewhere between a television serial and an amateur short film shot with minimal infrastructure. With songs like "mookillathammede mone" the songs, lyrics and music, are better left unmentioned.

Deivam Sakshi is an abysmal cinematic attempt that isn't even trying to tell a story. It's a series of ideas that never achieved creative fruition.
