Tarun is back on big screen with 'Sakhiyaa - Natho raa' after a long gap. Sakhiya has an impressive storyline. Screenplay and direction by Jayant is good. The second half of the movie is a complete let down. The plus points of the movie are Tarun and background score by Mani Sharma.

Story:Hari (Tarun) is a happy-go-lucky youngster. His family is in big financial trouble as they need around Rs. 10 lakhs. Hari happens to save a factionist Durga Devi (Lakshmi) from her rival gang. Durga Devi gives him some money as a token of gratitude. She offers to give the entire amount he needs if he successfully brings back her daughter Chandana (Nauhid) from Swiss. Chandana prefers to stay in Swiss than her faction-ridden homeland. Hari travels to Swiss, falls in love with Chandana and also makes sure that Chandana also falls in love with him. They travel back to India. Once he hands over Chandana to Durga Devi, Hari realizes that Durga Devi cheated him. Durga Devi wants to take revenge on her faction rival and also Chandana's father (Raj Kumar) by getting her son married to Chandana. The rest of the story is about how Hari saves Chandana from the clutches of Durga Devi and teaches Durga a lesson.


Music:Music is impressive. All the songs are melodious.
Performance:
Tarun did extremely well as the casual and shrewd teenager. Heroine Nauhid looked smart and did her part well. Lakshmi is impressive. Ranganath is adequate. Ali is entertaining as cabbie of Swiss. MS Narayana as comic cop is ineffective.
Verdict
Average.
