The Family Star is a 2024 Telugu-language romantic action drama film written and directed by Parasuram, produced by Dil Raju and Sirish under the banner Sri Venkateswara Creations. The film's lead actors are Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur.
 

The film was officially announced in February 2023 under the working title VD11, as it is Vijay's 11th film as main actor, and the actual title was revealed in October 2023. Principal photography began in July 2023. It was shot intermittently over many legs, with locales including Hyderabad and New York. Gopi Sundar wrote the film's music. 
Family Star was originally supposed to be released on Sankranthi, but it was postponed to prevent competing with Sankranthi films.[7] The Family Star garnered mostly poor responses.

This is a wonderful movie with interesting twists and turns, a gripping one basically. I like how the heroine who portrays as a humble tenant at hero's house turns out to be a researcher and makes a thesis on the life style of a middle class family.  Lo and behold, what makes a compelling research topic is the surprise element to watch.  Don't miss! Vijay is proven to be a seasoned actor with excellent acting prowess especially the way he portrays a middle-class youth in Family Star walking a tight rope to run a joint family overcoming the limitations of the day to day pressures. Family Star has been ** refreshing ** in capturing human emotions in a very subtle way. I can see how the movie shapes up a theme glorifying family stars mostly the unsung heroes in real life. Very touching! Mrinal Thakur has given a very good performance too. I am not a native Telugu speaking but have started enjoying his movies as they are not the usual run-of-the-mill masala movies. They stand above the majority of boring box office hits who have the same stale storylines from decades. It's time to make movies that are intended for class audience too and of course powerful storytelling doesn't require outlandish action sequences or superficial item songs.  Instead, the movie can rely on the strength of its characters, like this one. Even the grand mom's role in 'Family Star' is so subtle yet powerful. I wish Vijay Deverakonda to continue making more meaningful movies that prove as good family entertainers as there is growing number of his fans from neighboring state too.

Have fun watching the movie along with friends and family with wonderful music and have a great experience.
