I agree that it has lot of style and is lot of style from beginning to end, But it is a great movie where Mohanlal showed his skills very well and has no reason to be rated less!! I have watched it more than 40 times and still love to watch it when I feel like getting some courage and power. The confidence in the dialogue's and cinematography are excellent features of this movie. Even after watching the movie several times, every single time i get goosebumps when I watch the confidence of the Character Sagar Alias Jacky. The scenes where Mohanlal lets know Shobana that her child need not worry about any revenge when he grows up and such scenes where he speaks with the style of a Don or Leader is really mind blowing.

Sagar alias Jackie,known to be the stylish movie in Malayalam is awful.It is rich in style.No doubts. But lacks substance. The same year we had a Bollwood movie released named Blue which was high on style but lacked story.Direction by Amal Neerad is bad. The music is bad.Barring the title track. Cinematography is excellent.Performance wise-Superstar Mohanlal rocks!The baddies are bad,while Shobhana and Bhavana are okay.We get even to see Pranav Mohanlal,son of Mohanlal.Overall Sagar alias Jackie is bad.

This movie is fully loaded with style and action. Dialogue presentation are extraordinary. This is also one of the big budget movies in Malayalam and the biggest hits in the Malayalam film industry. And the Director of the movie is a well known cinematographer in the Indian film industry. And this is his second venture as a director. And this has been a great success. Initial collection was a record breaker in the Malayalam industry. The versatile actor Mohanlal is the prime reason behind the success of this movie. It is a part sequel of a mega hit movie in Malayalam released in 1987. And the actor who have been a Super star since then still continues after 2 decades into this movie.i rated it only 8 due to the inefficiency in scripting. It is the only disappointing factor in the movie. Beside that, the movie is 100% entertaining. Go for it if u search for entertainment.

The Theme song of this movie is good and may appeal for the youth. Action scenes were good.The let down of this movie are mohanlal's expressionless emotions and his chemistry with bhavana. Mohanlal looked cool in all scenes.Manoj k Jyan played his part well. Too bad shobana was not paired opposite mohanlal.She acted well in her small part.The supporting actors were cool too. Bhavana had nothing much to do except look pretty in her song. Jyothermai is in an item song, since when did she stick only to item songs? She should have got some role too. Predictable movie which is another let down. I liked one dialogue of mohanlal to manoj "You know sagar as your friend well but you don't know jacky the enemy". Mohanlal did not do any action roles after this movie. Mohanlal can still do better action roles, but he must be directed well with adipoli dialogues like narasimham,ravanaprabhu,naran.
