Kannan posted: #SaagasamEnraVeeracheyal - Thiagarajan's screenplay lacks punch & amateurish direction by debutant director Arunraj made it a tiring watch!
#Saagasam - Thaman's songs are nice, picturized and choreographed neatly but their placement doesn't help the proceeding of the film.
#Saahasam - Commercial action comedy that neither entertains nor gr8 in stunt sequences, decent plot but poor execution fails it! (5.5/10)
Priyanka tweeted: #Saahasam is all about the ego clash between the hero and the villain.
#Saahasam Prsahanth makes a decent comeback.
#Saahasam romantic portions b/w Prashanth and Amanda is stale
