Reception
[edit]A critic from The Times of India opined that "Despite its inconsistent pace, Saradhi is watchable and can be quite gripping at times. Sunny Wayne as an ambulance driver transporting corpses pulls off an amazing performance in this crime thriller".[6] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Saaradhi makes an effort to be different but ends up being a run-of-the-mill affair".[7] A critic from Sify wrote that "The attempt is to present things in a serious way but what this thriller manages is to bore you to death".[8]
