Sivasakthi is a rather unique entry from the mid-90s, showcasing Mahesh Anand as Tony, a ruthless international smuggler. The film dives into themes of power and desperation, set against the backdrop of an isolated island where Tony's sinister plans unfold. The pacing has that typical mid-90s vibe, weaving tension through its plot as he confronts the island's inhabitants. Performances are raw, particularly Girish Karnad's portrayal of the school teacher, which adds a layer of gravitas to the narrative. In terms of practical effects, the film doesn’t shy away from showcasing the gritty reality of Tony's violent escapades. It's a blend of action and drama with a palpable atmosphere that lingers long after viewing.
Sivasakthi is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, with limited releases over the years and not much in the way of home media, which definitely adds to its allure. Fans of 90s cinema may find it a fascinating study due to its distinct tone and performances, but it's the scarcity of quality prints that keeps it on the radar for serious collectors. There isn’t a ton of information out there, which only enhances its mystique among enthusiasts.
