वारिसु

Varisu is vijay's first billingual project. Even his die hard fans were not interested in this film as all of them are waiting for leo.

Plus points are thaman's foot tapping songs and vijay's dance in them. Some combination scenes between vijay and yogi babu were nice.

The biggest negative of varisu is that its so predictable. Each and every scene you can guess what will happen next and you will be right. The film is too long. Production designs are lavish but everything looks artificial. The drama is of serial level. Even though, dad character is played by sarath kumar, his mannerisms, getup and dialogue delivery reminded me of kamal hassan in vikram.

On the whole, watch varisu without any expectations.

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)

Varisu is all about family values. No matter how unforgivable one person's mistakes be, if they are family then all is forgiven. Having said that, Varisu sticks to the age old family drama template mixed with masala elements to do justice to it's superstar lead. The rebellious younger son who is ousted from the family makes a comeback to mend the broken family. With enough father-son, mother-son, brothers sentiment, Vamsi Paidipally presents a done to death screenplay as a festival treat.

To speak the positives, the film is lavishly shot with vibrant colors. Vijay seems to having sheer fun playing this character and several ordinary scenes get elevated solely by his performance. With a runtime of 2hrs 50mins, the film is way too long but it is those funny moments with Vijay that makes it almost work. The predictable screenplay, weak villain and weakly written supporting cast doesn't offer anything new content wise. The action scenes too don't stand out. Despite all this, it is not a bad watch at all but Vijay saves it from being entirely bland.

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....

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.
