Sadhu Miranda stands firm and balanced from beginning till end, delivering its message tellingly and still, it entertains. The film has effectively created a well-crafted thriller by which it has delivered a socially relevant theme with realistic portrayal by all the actors. The plot is used as an effective medium to display the blatant injustice meted out to an innocent young woman and its repercussions. Though it comes a long time after his earlier films, Friends and Engal Anna, is could very well result in Siddhique's hat trick.

Sundara Moorthy (Prasanna) is an ordinary individual, a happy-go-lucky young man who is very attached to his only sister. One day, while going to the bank, she is shot dead by a gang on its way to rob the bank, an innocent victim to a mindless street-crime. Moorthy is numbed by the tragedy. Without knowing how to vent his grief and fury, he silently vows to kill all those responsible for his sister's death. He goes about his life, silently nursing and feeding the hidden anger bubbling in the darkest recesses of his heart. The continuously haunting question 'Why?' in his inner self finds a reply when, using a smart plan, he traps the people mainly involved in the killing - Ram Mohan (Abbas), Siva (Raja Sridhar) and Minister Venkata Sabhapathy (Kota Srinivasa Rao).

Prasanna looks entirely transformed. Not caught in the image-trap of his earlier roles, he comfortably slips into his double portrayal (almost schizophrenic!) as an unsophisticated youth and as the menacing Saadhu. He has handled the role with a quiet toughness; his brooding intensity is so forceful, even his smiles are menacing. Saadhu Miranda has certainly brought out the best in him. Kavya Madhavan, the heroine, plays the role of TV anchor Priya who empathizes with Moorthy and provides an able foil to his brooding looks and black moods. Priya is the one who feeds Moorthy's ambition with the necessary impetus and encouragement, goading him into action. She indeed proves that she is an actor of substance.

The comedy alliance of M.S. Bhasker, Charlie, Karunas and Vyapuri enters the plot to lighten the dark clouds of tension. They succeed admirably and every time they appear, the audience welcomes their humorous exchanges and repartee.

Abbas plays the powerful villain. He lives the role without misplacing his characteristic charm. Raja Sridhar as the drug-dealer, and Kota Srinivasa Rao as the wily politician, have packed their roles with extra punch. Kanal Kannan's stunt choreography is one more asset to the film.

Cinematography by Prathap V. Kumar and dialogues by Gokulakrishna too add significant value to the narrative. Songs in Deepak Dev's music are quite popular and hummable.

Through Sadhu Miranda, Siddhique has illuminated the effect of a casual crime, dovetailing it with current events and trends in society. What can we say about this film? Congratulations and keep it up!
