Varisu Review: Packed With Vijay Magic! (Rediffmail)

This is a film written for an audience that thrives on Vijay's stardom and it satisfies them thoroughly, observes Divya Nair.

Even Prakash Raj (whose memorable performance in Gilli is mocked at) gets a dummy role as the villain. (When do we start work on Varisu 2?).' If the predictability of the film's events doesn't excite you enough, there are countless references to his previous films, thrown in with ample sauce of sarcasm and subtle digs at his competitors in the industry. Much against his will and principles, Vijay chooses to come home to the rescue of his ailing father. He is thrown out of his home, but continues to stay in touch with his mother Jaya, brought to life beautifully by the talented Jayasudha. Vijay is the youngest son of a shrewd and successful mining entrepreneur Rajendran (played by Sarath Kumar), who has no interest in joining his arrogant father's firm.

'Varisu' movie review: The '90s melodrama we didn't ask for (Deccan Herald)

Vijay, like several portrayals of Telugu cinema heroes, plays the protagonist who resurrects a crumbling family.

[Dailymotion ](https://www.dailymotion.com/DeccanHerald) [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/DeccanHerald) He took that path with 'Master' first, where he responded to the sensibility and style of a new-gen filmmaker. Things go downhill for Rajendran when he is diagnosed with last stage of pancreatic cancer and his two sons (played by Shaam and Srikanth) are greedy about family inheritance. So why is Vijay, the youngest son of business tycoon Rajendran (R Sarathkumar) banished from the family?

'Varisu' review: An overly preachy family drama (THE WEEK)

Varisu, directed by Vamshi Paidipally and starring Vijay, Rashmika Mandanna, R. Sarathkumar, Prabhu, Prakash Raj and Yogi Babu, is a Vijay show all the way, ...

Of course, there are a few engaging scenes like Vijay's phone conversation with his mother, his return home, and his equations with the domestic help played by Yogi Babu. As expected, the movie has plenty of mother, father, and brother sentiments. Varisu, his latest, as the name suggests is a family drama about a succession war.

Having Rashmika Mandanna shake a leg with Thalapathy, makes it more obvious that the track is going to be a superhit. [#Vijay]’s vintage performance is amazing and the climax emotion part : OUTSTANDING While the trailer opens with the setting of the entire family of Rajendran sitting at the table, it puts a question mark on the whereabouts of our protagonist, Vijay. Vijay portrays the role of the youngest son of patriarch Rajendran who has a mining business. From having a slow number like Vaa Thalaivaa, it has upbeat tracks like Thee Thalapathy and Jimikki Ponnu that has caught the viewers’ interest. What is it and how does it change Vijay?

Varisu repackages an old story and serves it using an outdated template. But fans of Vijay will get their money and time's worth.

The film rides heavily on Vijay’s shoulders and lack of any other substantial character to oppose him leaves you strained as a viewer. But those buying the ticket to marvel at the star power of Vijay will get swagger worth their money. Yogi Babu (as Kicha, Vijay’s maternal uncle) tries to infuse some comedy but it falls short in comparison to the more-serious ongoing plot. So what do you do when the story has nothing new to offer? When Rajendran is diagnosed with a chronic illness, he decides to pick his ‘vaaris‘ (heir). You put all your bets on the decade-old charisma of ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay and hope it works.

The poor reviews didn’t help either. But one other thing has been noticed as well: it is difficult to manufacture pan-Indian success.

Directed by [Vamshi Paidipally](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/varisu-director-vamshi-paidipally-expectations-vijay-film-8373822/), early estimates suggest that Varisu grossed Rs 26.5 crore on day one of release, across India.

Outside of Tamil Nadu, Varisu is expected to earn in the range of between Rs 8.50 crore to 9.00 crore, while Thunivu is expected to earn in the range of between Rs 8.00 to 8.50 crore. The contrast between the two films is minor, owing primarily to Thunivu’s ability to secure more screenings than Varisu. The two films were so popular that they booked houseful shows throughout the state ahead of time. As expected both south Indian films had a great start in the cinema halls of Tamil Nadu. New Delhi: Celebrations have been witnessed all over Tamil Nadu’s cinema halls as two of Kollywood’s largest audience snatchers, Ajith Kumar and Thalapathy Vijay, emerged with their respective films, Thunivu and Varisu.

Varisu: Review guide as Vijay's latest entertainer opens to mixed ... (HITC)

Here is a complete review guide to Varisu, which has opened to a disappointing and decidedly mixed reaction from critics.

[The News Minute](https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/varisu-review-vijay-entertainer-high-energy-falters-emotions-171797). It is the ten-a-penny template film that Tamil cinema has been grinding for years.” – A product that’s tailor-made for a specific experience, and for a specific set of people.” – [The Indian Express](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/varisu-movie-review-rating-vijay-rashmika-8373366/). The writing again faces significant criticism in this review, but News18 also admit how there is enough entertainment to make it the “perfect popcorn film.” The Times of India explains how the film is “fairly engaging” as Vijay elevates the rather basic storyline into an entertaining feature film for the whole family to enjoy. However, because Varisu doesn’t take itself too seriously, viewers can simply sit back and enjoy the illogical fun, especially the consistent “fan-pandering.” That makes Varisu more of a product than a film. Unfortunately, it appears that the vast majority of reviews have been average at best. - The News Minute – 3.5/5 - The Indian Express – 3/5 - The Times of India Critics – 3.5/5
