Review of Varisu: Script Evaluation
Script writers sometimes fail to make things interesting and take quick cuts like relying exclusively on the lead actor charming his way in, letting the plot stand tall on the heroic presence of Vijay. After a while, even Salman Khan in Bollywood was unable to accomplish the same feat, and it appears Vijay has chosen the same path. The plot of Vamshi Paidipally, Hari, and Ashishor Solomon is a shoddy amalgamation of all family dramas from the 1990s.
To enrapture the viewers with this castle of a residence, Karthik Palani's camerawork overcompensates at points with too many perspectives jarring the scenes. Otherwise, the cinematography is passable, particularly in its portrayal of Dhilip Subbarayan's masterful action choreography in the hand combat scenes. editing by Praveen K. L.
Hence, there is always something going on. Every time the predictability flu is about to strike, the template has its beats and something to give us a booster shot. Vas , in the in the in the the the. the the the the the the, in the the the the my Phantom at , in the the the Cliff the the the the for the the. Oh, and don't blame me for leaving Rashmika Mandanna out till the song and dance exercise; it is solely the fault of the writers, Paidipally, Hari, Ashishor Solomon, and Vivek. Rashmika, on the other hand, dances passionately. She occasionally has a more compelling screen presence than Vijay does.
There are also many fight sequences that are arranged in the standard unoriginal way, with flying goons, smashing necks, and kicking on the ground.
In terms of the humour, though, the joke is on us. A public limited company's board of directors votes Vijay in as chairman after he blackmails them with trivial personal information; some of them even dance at the board meeting (kind of like that Vaikuntapuram movie). Vijay's "startup" is a unicorn, but all we ever see him do with it is scroll through some maps of India. I assumed it was some sort of undefined social enterprise because he frequently talks about helping those who are hungry or similar things. Vivek's dialogue frequently reads like a listicle of things Vijay or one of his coworkers said in one of his earlier movies, often placed so obtrusively that it bleeds a little. Yes, if you're interested, there is a joke that makes fun of Yogi Babu's weight.
Throughout the majority of the first half, the scenes' setup-punchline-slo-mo pattern and predictable beats make us impatient to move on. Which of these punchlines would provide me with the eagerly anticipated interval block, I found myself thinking. It seemed to take forever. Vamshi Paidipally partially makes up for this in the second half. The barriers fall down as he increases the mass quotient, and the sneaky comments never stop. It would be unjust to categorise this as solely for the fandom, despite the fact that fan service is undoubtedly the intention. Varisu is okay if you can recognise the references (which I couldn't, at least not all of them) and laugh at the absurdity (which I most definitely could).
The message is ultimately unmistakable: Every family is supported by its women being silenced and erased. Every successful Varisu is the result of a million dead hopes and happy moments for women.
