Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where fossil fuels like petrol, diesel, and other internal combustion derivatives are no longer available. Everyone drives electric vehicles. Aliens have invaded this world. The state has complete control over what people do, eat, drink, and even think. To top it all off, an alien. Who appears as a girl, lives with a few bachelors, hiding away from the government. Where would a film like this be made? Hollywood, maybe? The concept clearly fits the mold previously laid out by other Hollywood films. Or perhaps Bollywood? But no, it’s a Mollywood film called Gaganachari. Yes, it’s a Malayalam-language film. The concept is high, but the budget was low. Yet, it doesn’t look cheap. It’s really impressive what they managed to do with the resources they had.

Sometimes a film doesn’t just entertain us—it touches our hearts and makes us reflect on our own lives. That’s exactly what Hridayam did for many viewers.

Loved In Theaters, Loathed On Screens! Why Did Varshangalkku Shesham Backfire On Ott? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Varshangalkku Shesham, a feel-good family drama, received mixed but mostly positive critical reception during its theatrical run. However, things changed once it began streaming. People began to dislike the movie, and trolls tore it apart on social media.

Listing down the problems voiced by netizens after watching Varshangalkku Shesham on Ott:

Weak Storyline, Unremarkable Execution

Let’s talk about the first issue: the weak storyline. The story is predictable, even from the trailer, but that’s not uncommon for Malayalam movies. Films with thin plots have been successful before. For example, Aavesham, released on the same day as Varshangalkku Shesham, also had a weak plot but became a successful venture. Although it faced some criticism, it wasn’t to the same extent. Another example is Thallumaala from 2022, which also didn’t have a compelling plot.

Vineeth Sreenivasan’s directorial venture Varshangalkku Shesham has opened to decent numbers despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Read the full report of the film’s Day 1 box office collection.

Varshangalkku Shesham, starring Pranav Mohanlal and Dhyan Sreenivasan alongside an impressive cast, raked in an estimated 2.8 crore net at the Indian box office on its Day 1, i.e. 1st Thursday. This collection is encouraging, considering the mixed critical reception. The film witnessed a strong overall Malayalam occupancy of 67.73%. The occupancy rate throughout the day remained consistent, with a slight dip in the morning shows and a rise in the evening and night shows, indicating a pull for the later screenings.

This positive audience turnout could be attributed to several factors. Firstly, director Vineeth Sreenivasan has a strong track record and is known for delivering successful feel-good films.

Demanding a Rajeev Ravi film on a Vineeth Sreenivasan movie ticket is silly. If you don’t like the elements that define a Vineeth Sreenivasan movie, Varshangalkku Shesham is not going to be your cup of tea; but if you are a fan of the bubble-wrapped delicateness of his movie-making, Varshangalkku Shesham is Exhibit A.

For the unreserved, Vineeth, the eldest son of noted Malayalam screenwriter and actor Sreenivasan, is a filmmaker known for his feel-good stories coated with preachy motivation and an overload of goodness. In Vineeth’s cinematic universe, everything has a warm color tone, people are nicer than usual, romances are over the top, characters who struggle in life can still afford a cozy studio apartment, every character gives free advice to the squandering male lead, and every door he apparently knocks on seems to open. Now, put all these elements together, and you get a blueprint...

ProfileThat Vineeth, who maintains a soft persona off-screen could go in front of the camera and be the cunning advocate in ‘Mukundan Unni’ or the loud and silly cop in ‘Kurukkan’ shows his tremendous growth as an actor.Five years before Vineeth Sreenivasan first acted in a film, he sang for Priyadarshan’s Kiluchundan Mambazham, in which his father Sreenivasan and Mohanlal, both senior actors known for their comic films together, played men who were in love with the same woman. Vineeth was then a teenager, and the song, ‘Kasavinte Thattamittu’, the title track of the movie, barely got noticed. It was his second film song – ‘Karale’ – for another Mohanlal-Sreenivasan movie Udayananu Tharam that made Vineeth a household name. The song became hugely popular and many found it adorable that Vineeth sang for his dad. These are the stories of the early 2000s. Today, Vineeth is a very versatile actor,...

Review‘Kurukkan’ is not poorly made. The scenes are straightforward, and at a little more than two hours, the script is not boring at all. But the writing fails in stretching out the idea.Of late, with merely a handful of movies, Vineeth Sreenivasan has made it clear that he is a tremendous performer, with a range you may not believe possible based on his off-screen soft persona. He appears to specialise in roles with a dose of villainy mixed with a lot of humour. But the humour does not always work for no fault of his, as in the case of Kurukkan, his latest film which has him in the role of a police officer, who keeps becoming the laughing stock in the force. Vineeth does not hold back, he throws his body about, unafraid to be loud or slapstick-level comical. Unfortunately, the making does not help his act.
