The Family Star

South Indian movies are typically made to entertain low IQ viewers only. Almost all such movies at some point become illogical and nonsensical. This movie although started very well and continued to be entertaining but the climax totally ruined it. About 30 or more people carrying sharp weapons wait for their turn to get beaten up while others don't even move. As usual, the hero has only minor injuries and whenever he starts talking to others, all the goons suddenly freeze and start listening.

The storyline is almost ruined towards the end. It could have been a simple non-violent story and would have made complete sense. But I think every south indian movie must show stupid violence where people start flying as if the gravity is missing. If you have normal or above average IQ, don't waste your time. And this will most likely be my last south indian movie.

One of the most brain dead idiotic movies with the most crazy and psychotic characters as protagonists of 2024.

Gowardhan is a gaslighting egotistical misogynist who emotionally tortures everyone around him.

Indu is even more weird, she lets all this happen with 0 self respect and dignity.

He blames everything on everyone around him, while acting like he's always right and infallible.

The cringe and frankly disgusting ways in which he bahaves and the fact that she just watches on tolerating everything and apparently unconditionally loves him is so baffling, I just cringed throughout the movie.

What a waste of time and energy. There are 0 characters in this movie that are remotely normal.

Yes, A failed try to Glorifying Middle class Men, Middle class people are 90% of indian Population. Their is a family star in every family but this try to glorify middle class men or family star didnt justify. The hero's elder brother sequence didnt quite make sense and middle class people dont get happy with money is a ideology but the theory represents all the sequence that proves otherwise in most scene. Not a joy ride but series of various scene put togather to prove what director wanted. Better luck next time guys. Please dont make people call this typical telugu film, Next time add some quality and sence.

Few months before Katta kushthi movie came in Tamil. Good 1st half with plot set. Then worst 2nd half.

Family stat is worse than that. Such a good family loving here goes brainless all of a sudden. Story/research on him is almost predictable and his immediate reaction made me felt like Aiyo!!!

Absolutely thoughtless movie making. Mirunal has acted well for her part. Vijay is good in 1st half. But how he accepted for such reckless behavior in 2nd half - I am clueless. Probably actors do not really know anything about Audience heartbeat.

We all miss Bhagyaraj sir for screenplay. Or even Visu sir. Poor us!!!

Saw the trailers a while back and looked promising !

But the movie was largely a "Meh" affair - the storytelling is messy, director / editor and confused and create a mismatch of romantic - comedy - family drama - corporate politics that the movie ends up not justifying in the basics below : -

• Character development : characters are not fleshed out and looks largely 2D - even the leads! Director / Editor could have cut a few comedy / song sequences and invested to explain the character better (especially the leads since the twist / reveal all seem unnatural instead of organic )
• Screenplay was style over substance and cliche over class / art
• Performances were over the top - this could be a combination of bad character development as well : but I find the acting not impactful

Watch in OTT if you are bored - fast forward would be your best friend!
