Saguni has already been labeled as an above average grosser and has garnered enough revenue to more than just break even.

The political satire label suits Saguni more than political drama. It’s a story of a young man from a village and how he gets pulled into the quagmire of political aspirations in the big bad city. Karthi and Santhanam play lead roles while Pranitha is the female lead.

Trade Talk :

The tremendous initial response is giving way to sluggishness in business although weekends are witnessing full houses.

Public Talk :

Shankar Dayal has heavily relied on Santhanam’s presence, but these days who isn’t?

Karthi and Shankar Dayal team's political comedy is no-holds barred entertainment. Santhanam proves his mettle, yet again and is one of the crucial characters of the movie alongside Karthi.
Trade Talk :
Saguni opened to full houses almost all over the release centers and trade analyses that B & C centers could be the movie's forte in business.
Public Talk :
Santhanam is the star!
