Varisu

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.

Movie Started Decent & Goes With a Emotion Elements.

Vaa Thalaiva Song Was Super In Visuals.. Vijay Intro Was Cool, 1st Half Goes With All Elements Emotion, Comedy, 3songs and One Dance Number Song Was 💥💥Superb, Thaman Bgm Holds The Movie Pace & Emotion Side as Well. Interval Bang - The Boss Returns 🔥2nd Half Starting With a Masss Fight Scene 🔥And Continues Well Most Of The Mass scene Is Placed In 2nd Half. Screen Play was Superb Comparing To Decent 1st Half.. Thalapathy Mannerism,Timing Comedy, Style Hold The Movie Fully (One Man Show). Thee Thalapathy &Ranjithame Pakka Dance Material 💥💥Heart Touching Climax❤ Over All Pakka Pongal Festival Movie- Varisu💯

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.

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.
