Varshangalkku Shesham

It was like watching a drama of 80's. I felt it would be better if the story was little more present than 80s time frame. Really boring 1st half and an ok second half as a complete cinema.

Dhyan Sreenivasan and Pranav Mohanlal have done a great job on their part, as well as the other actors. Special mention to Nivin Pauly, he has stolen the show with his brilliant performance. He has done a very good job, laughed my heart out throught his dialogues.

Music was average.

First half was very lagging, got bored. Second half was good, mainly because of Nivin it turned out really well!!! First half had something missing technically, not able to pinpoint at it exactly.

Definitely not among the good movies that Vineeth Sreenivasan has given us before, expecting good movies from him in future.

~ Varshangalk Shesham was definitely not for me. I am very disappointed after watching this film. I didn't like anything in this film apart from the Cinematography by Oddukathil Vishwajith , some of the frames were really nice. The music was also good. Other than that the performances were okayish , Dhyan was fine. The characters in this film did not connect to me at all. I felt like they are stupid. Some of the characters and actors were there just for nothing. Lot of the times I felt Vineeth Sreenivasan was forcefully trying to make the film feel - good. Nivin Pauly character was an hit and miss for me. He performed better in this than his previous few films , but I still didn't get to see that old Nivin back. The length of the film is another drawback as it is very long and is tiring. Personally I didn't like it at all.

First off, this movie is for the family. There's tons to laugh in the second half. Nivin Pauly just steals the whole thing with his acting and self troll. Real credit goes to Vineeth Sreenivasan. He's a genius craftsman. He knows exactly how to make the film click with the general audience. Coming to the film. There's nothing new about the storyline. We can very well predict the course. Dhyan has done well. Pranav struggles. Story begins cheerfully and lags as it inches towards the halftime mark. From then on, it's a rollercoaster of laughs. It's more funny when 100s of people laugh with you. So may not be that good when it comes to OTT. But definitely a one time enjoyable film, that has its ups and downs.

Vineeth Sreenivasan has put his efforts to show us the 1980-90's Cinema legacy in Madras through the movie from the stories he heard from his father and his friends.

The plot of the movie is about two friends who accidentally meets and develops a friendly bond through their love for cinema and their reunion after years and the things that happen in between.

The story moves in flashback through Dhyan's narration about their life and the bonding between him and Murali(Pranav).

The intro scenes in the first half where you can find many humour elements that sets background for further development of the movie.

Two close friends decides to shift to Madras to pursue their dream for Cinema from the cinema Paradiso of 80's Swamy's Lodge in Kodambakkam.

When Dhyan tries to pursue his dreams of direction by getting associated with films through small works,Pranav tries to explore his talents in composing by joining in a small recording studio as a violinist. Dhyan's overnight film success and upliftment in career and Pranav's failure to be successful broke their bond and he vanishes for years.

Second half of the movie revolves around the reunion and their attempt to make a new film together.

Vineeth has made healthy criticisms of Pranav,Dhyan & Nivin in the movie and you can see references from Mohanlal Sreenivasan combo in the film.

I should say,Pranav is completely surrendering himself to Vineeth and the way he has moulded the character is impressive. Dhyan has given a subtle performance in the movie and his humour timings and mannerisms worked well. Nivin's intro was simply swag and his humour sense is clearly evident in the second half which would be a laughter treat for the audience. Rebranding of Shaan Rahman in the movie is worth watching. Y G Mahendran as Swaminathan of Swamy's Lodge was a perfect casting by Vineeth.

Aju Varghese,Basil Joseph has made a decent performance in the movie.

Vineeth has given a humble attempt with his same Hridayam team. Amrit Ramnath's music and Background Score worked well in the emotional part.

Varshangalku Shesham is a light hearted watchable festival treat for family audience.

Rating - 3/5.
