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)

A near commercial and family entertainer with all the mass , songs , humour , fight. BGM was appreciatable. Humour worked in some parts of the film but the youngsters may feel cringe. Thalapathy's dance and the songs was the biggest strength of this film. Stunt scenes was too draggy. Storyplot was old but the screenplay was decent. A proper and neat feast for the Thalapathy fans. Jani's choreography doesnt merge with Thalapthy in my POV. Movie might make someone feel so so draggy especially the climax.

Thalapathy fans , kids and family will enjoy this movie a lot. Youngsters and cinephiles might be get disappointed.

Wayyyyyy too long for this over the top family drama. Taking you back to the 1980s predictable from the start. Heroine had awhole of 20 mins that is including songs. Only saving grace is vijay comedy scenes and dance. One time watchable only. Huge star cast total let down as all characters are half baked. It's time for vijay to invest in decent scripts rather then dishing out garbage . Quality over quantity. Maybe to start with picking roles for his age. Kept checking time and waiting for it to finish. In the end yup you knew the ending in the first 5 mins into the movie. Sj Surya cameo was a worthy surprise.

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.

Opinion : Overall Varisu , though it has nothing special or new by means of content , it has some good commercial and entertaining elements done by Thalapathy Vijay and that us what makes Varisu a decent enough watch for the general Audience

Positives : Vijay Sense of humor worked well all over without any irritating mannerism . Thaman Music and BGM keeps us engaging and not bored . Avoided many Cringy sequences . Dialogues are enjoyable . Sarathkumar role was mature.

Negatives : Rashmika is not even made use except songs. Few Background VFX CG works throughout the film is seen barely that diverts our concentration towards the film . Flat and Predictable Storyline. Could have added few twists or suspense sequences to make it more interesting. Emotions worked in parts only.

Verdict : Overall Vamshi has given a simple film with some enjoyable moments for the Targeted audience for this festival that will work well with fans and family audience alone .

Rating : 3 / 5

Go without expectation. It would be a decent festival watch for fans and fun filled watch for family Audience.
