Varisu

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Amazon prime Source: Nil

Movie starts with sentimental note and colourful song. Vijay is in full energy in all aspects, especially in songs. The first 30mins sentiments and most of the second half are more cliche and routine. Prakash raj is in worst form, his character is very average and just irritates.

Later movie starts to go in good entertainer path in first half. Director brings back old Ghilli vijay in comedy scenes and sentiment scenes

The cancer sentiment and tear jerking scenes worked well with feel good way instead of serial way, director succeeded in this writing in first half

All the hype and sentiment went to vein in the highly predictable second half. It has mass moments, but it is diluted with HIGHLY predictable scenes and character.... Not even single scene is original in the second half, all are already done and dusted in masala movies already

One time watchable for the first half and songs....

Strictly for Thalapathy fans. Movie has the same old basic plot that we have seen a lot. Same old typical family business story just to enhance the story director has added more characters to stretch the film and make it a proper entertainer but fails to deliver. 1st half feels very stretched with long boring screenplay and nothing new to add in the storyline whereas 2nd half is good as compare to 1st. Vijay's acting steals the show as compare to rest of the actors because while seeing the movie the director has pretty much involved in Vijay's character and it seems like it. Rest of the cast was average nothing that different as compare to the story. Rashmika is totally wasted. She is there only for songs and distraction. She looks good in songs though but not in the movie. As a movie lover this film is just an average for me though it has action, emotions and songs by the due to long stretched screenplay and old storyline this movie completely falls down. Only for Thalapathy fans. (4/10)

I'm not opposed to family drama films. But I'm having trouble connecting with this one. A wealthy family is experiencing family conflict. Our hero arrives to preach everyone, making them realize their error and directing them in the right direction. A large mansion with limited people. The restroom alone is the size of a football stadium. Everyone is driving expensive cars and talking about billions of dollars and share market. Majority of the audience members were unfamiliar with the rich life and they were unable to connect with the movie.

Lets come to our hero who preach his mother, father, brother, sister in law, police man, servant, Villans, audience list goes on.. OMG i cant tolerate. U cant forceful keep a preaching dialogue just to show he is some kind of saint. Just one time(accidentally) watchable, such a bore to core.

A near commercial and family entertainer with all the mass , songs , humour , fight. BGM was appreciatable. Humour worked in some parts of the film but the youngsters may feel cringe. Thalapathy's dance and the songs was the biggest strength of this film. Stunt scenes was too draggy. Storyplot was old but the screenplay was decent. A proper and neat feast for the Thalapathy fans. Jani's choreography doesnt merge with Thalapthy in my POV. Movie might make someone feel so so draggy especially the climax.

Thalapathy fans , kids and family will enjoy this movie a lot. Youngsters and cinephiles might be get disappointed.

Opinion : Overall Varisu , though it has nothing special or new by means of content , it has some good commercial and entertaining elements done by Thalapathy Vijay and that us what makes Varisu a decent enough watch for the general Audience

Positives : Vijay Sense of humor worked well all over without any irritating mannerism . Thaman Music and BGM keeps us engaging and not bored . Avoided many Cringy sequences . Dialogues are enjoyable . Sarathkumar role was mature.

Negatives : Rashmika is not even made use except songs. Few Background VFX CG works throughout the film is seen barely that diverts our concentration towards the film . Flat and Predictable Storyline. Could have added few twists or suspense sequences to make it more interesting. Emotions worked in parts only.

Verdict : Overall Vamshi has given a simple film with some enjoyable moments for the Targeted audience for this festival that will work well with fans and family audience alone .

Rating : 3 / 5

Go without expectation. It would be a decent festival watch for fans and fun filled watch for family Audience.
