Salaam Venky

Salaam venky is a drama film directed by revathi.

Vishal jethwa has given an astounding performance. He has picturized a pretentious happy and teary eyed character beautifully. Kajol too is excellent as sujata, her anguish and sorrow for her son is very clear and heartwrenching. The chemistries are pure, some very organic and some very forced.

The music is excellent. The songs are very soft, and melodious. The cinematography is good.

But the screenplay has major flaws. It is not able to hold your attention throughout. It looses its oace constantly and loses grip of its viewers.

I rate it 8.

Kajol plays Sujatha, a mother whose son will die. She cannot changes this fact. She loves her son more than anything else but she cannot change the fact that her son is going to die before her. Not all these facts are mentioned in the film. But Kajol's emotions make it clear why she is so afraid, why she is feeling helpless. This is the most challenging role of Kajol's career and she scored star marks. Her performance is easily comparable to Cameron Diaz's My Sister's Keeper. Some will feel Kajol is even better.

For the rest, Revathy did okay as a director. Vishal is good but sometimes a bit.

I had the pleasure of watching Salaam Venky today. Such a powerful, raw & heartbreaking performance by Kajol! She delivered this role & every emotionally charged scene within the film with such passion - I walked out feeling simultaneously satisfied & devastated.

Vishal took the role of Venky and ran all the way to my heart with his performance. I smiled everytime he smiled and cried when his heart broke due to so many shattering disappointments.

This duo and the relationship they portrayed between Venky and Sujata was truly heart-warming. Every scene was powerful and the message that was conveyed is truly an important one to take home.

I am watching the movie right now and crossed half way.. this should be the best movie of kajol in her entire career. Must not only just watch this movie but should also experience it.. i just couldn't stop reviewing the movie midway .. as this is the first show and i think i should give a genuine review.

It's begins with a slow start and gradually filling with emotions, suspense, love and caring of a family.. this story is about a mother who goes to extra length to fulfil the dreams of her son who is dying of untreatable disease. I believe kajol single handedly made this movie a successful one.

Saw this movie today. Excellent performances and heart warming. Be warned: this is not your typical bollywood masala type movie. The story is the hero. Performances are top notch. Direction is brilliant. Ravi Varman's cinematography is beauty and visuals are terrific. Brilliantly crafted movie. Again this is a emotional tear jerker/ intense and will touch your soul and you will value your life more. Every cast member has done justice to their roles. The little love story in fhe first half is so beautiful. Music is great and loved how songs were taken.

Hats off Revathy Mam, Kajol, Vishaljethwa and the entire cast and crew.
