Time and again films pop up to remind women of her ‘duties’. And Sandai is just another film that reinforces the values expected of women by the feudal system. Not only in portraying the pesky heroism, but Sandai goes a step ahead by including sexist lyrics and dialogues.

A widow, Thangalakshmi (Nadhiya) in Bangkok comes back to her village to marry off her daughter (Ragini). Her sole intention being to challenge her brother, whom she believes to have killed her husband (Napolean).

But Nadhiya’s brother turns out to be an obstacle as he wants his son (Sundar C) to marry Ragini. In the turn of events, Sundar marries Ragini and the ‘war’ starts between the son-in-law and ‘egoistic’ mother-in-law.

Sundar and Vivek’s comedy track breathes in life to a prosaic film. With unimaginable and illogical stunts, though bearing a cold face, Sundar romps through the film with his dialogue delivery. Director Sakthi Chidambaram seems to have cast Ragini and Namitha only for songs. But, it is versatile actor Nadhiya’s charisma that steals the show.

Dhina’s music fades away without making any impression. Sandai is recommended only for those who would love to watch a comedy track.
