Saravana (alternatively spelled as Saravanaa)[1][2] is a 2006 Indian Tamil-language action romance film directed by K. S. Ravikumar.

Sadhana's family, mainly her brother Soundarapandiyan and his sidekick Velu are involved in regional gangs in their village.

When Sadhana takes Saravana to the temple for a visit without Soundarapandiyan's knowledge, a rival gang member group, headed by Duraisingam, is attacked by Velu's group members, and Duraisingam's brother Vanjaravelu gets hold of Sadhana and threatens to kill her.

After a few days though, in the most ungrateful manner and a show cowardice, Duraisingam's gang fights with fierce brutality, and they finishes Krishna's entire family except Sadhana.

Feeling that she is not safe here anymore, Saravana plans to send her to London, but Sadhana is not happy with his decision as she loves him.

The Hindu wrote "Deivanai Movie Makers' `Saravana' (U/A) opens with the hero's entry in typical filmi style and his sermons on (what else can it be?)

Writer-director K. S. Ravikumar and Silambarasan come together for the first time in this Telugu remake, and with ample scope to sing and dance, love and laugh and fight and cry, Simbu makes his presence felt in every frame".

Ravikumar deserves pat for making necessary corrections in the original script to suit the Tamil audience.

[5] Lajjavathi of Kalki wrote "The director has tried a drippy action on one side and a family drama on the other but the screenplay falters as the story relies on flashback.

Is it the way for directors like KS Ravikumar to go backwards when Tamil cinema is heading towards new route in terms of ideas and making?
