    Movie for low IQ

    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.

    Something different it worked and one time watch

    So watching this movie wt first is different in first half movie focus on hero and it's family and then someone come and started entering this family and after l that main movie start the first half is fully entertainment and joy and I liked but I don't like fighting scence because the movie has its own joy without fight scence after 2 half the movie focus on hero and heroine love story it's ok but the climax is not satisfied me but starting was too good the story what I want but in the end it's didn't satisfy me so I think I would be grate ending for the flim but seeing Vijay in old look makes me happy.

    Okay Okayish Movie. One time watch!

    Honestly the story was pretty simple. They could have come with some unique stories. Taking Vijay deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur as their leads meant the story must have to be really good. The story could have better scenes and could have made more sense if they would have been written with more dedication towards the audience. They would have come up with a better plot but still it was pretty cute story to watch. Really loved Vijay's Character in it.

    Some great Telugu movies inspired me were " Hey Sinamika" and "Hi Nanna". Loved these stories as they had some unique catch in them to attract the audience. That's what I felt.

    A failed try to Glorifying Middle class men

    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.

    A Fun, Heartfelt Ride

    I recently watched "Family Star" and found myself thoroughly entertained. Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur have fantastic chemistry, and their performances carry the film beautifully. The music adds another layer of charm, with catchy tunes that set the mood perfectly.

    The film has its strengths in the comedic scenes, where Vijay Deverakonda shines. His dialogue delivery is spot-on and genuinely made me laugh out loud. While the story may have some familiar elements, the performances and the heartwarming moments keep it engaging.

    Of course, there's always room for improvement. Some dramatic portions could have had a little more emotional depth. But overall, if you're looking for a feel-good film with a talented cast and some genuinely funny moments, "Family Star" is a solid choice. It's the kind of movie that leaves you with a smile on your face.
