The highly anticipated film ‘Vyuham,’ helmed by the renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, has officially hit the screens today, eagerly awaited by the audience. Let’s delve into the reviews to gauge the impact this movie has made on viewers and explore the unique elements it brings to the cinematic table.
Story :
The tale kicks off with the sad news of Vyasa Veerashankar Reddy’s passing (YS Rajasekhar Reddy). His son, Vyasa Madan Mohan Reddy (Ajmal Amir), embarks on a journey upon learning about his father’s demise, driven by a desire to serve the people. Unfortunately, Madan faces opposition forces, leading to conflicts and challenges.
As the story unfolds, we witness CBI investigations into Madan Mohan Reddy’s actions. His arrest brings about a series of difficulties, and we follow his journey through the complex political landscape. How did Madan overcome these challenges to emerge victorious in elections against his long-time political rival, Indrababu? Amidst all the chaos, how did Madan’s wife, Vyasa Malathi Reddy (Manas Radha Krishna), offer her unwavering support? Furthermore, what role does Shravan (Pavan) play in this gripping narrative? These are the questions that shape the rest of the story.
Positive Aspects :
After Y.S.R’s passing, Jagan faced many challenges dealing with the emotions of the people and working hard to carry on his father’s political legacy. The warnings from the central government, where he held power at that time, added to Jagan’s difficulties. Rival parties also opposed him during this period, but Jagan fought determinedly for his goals, eventually becoming a strong Chief Minister.
These aspects are well portrayed in the movie, skillfully captured by RGV. The film includes symbolic shots that enhance the storytelling. Regarding performances, Ajmal Amir, playing Madan Mohan Reddy, did an excellent job, expressing the character convincingly. Manas Radha Krishna, in a crucial role, also delivered an impressive performance. The actor portraying Indrababu perfectly suited the character and gave a flawless performance. Alongside them, Dhanunjay Prabhu, Surabhi Prabhavati, Vasu Inturi, Koti Jayaram, and other main actors contributed significantly with their convincing portrayals.
In summary, RGV successfully recreated the original characters and their nuances, with all the lead actors delivering commendable performances, making the film a compelling watch.
Negative Aspects :
Director RGV has portrayed the real story quite well. However, at times, the storyline seems a bit too simple, especially in certain instances. Some parts in the first half move slowly, and even the beginning of the second half doesn’t grab the audience’s attention as much. Yet, RGV cleverly includes real political events between Madan Mohan Reddy and rival party leaders through newspaper snippets.
To enhance the film’s appeal, RGV could have added more excitement to the routine political scenes, bringing them to life on screen. The film also showcases a commendable effort in creating awareness on screen presence. Trimming some routine political scenes and keeping the on-screen action sharp could have added more positive aspects to the movie. Unfortunately, a notable downside is the slow narration, especially in the first half, where Narration slow. Despite the slow start, the film smoothly progresses through three to four character-driven narratives. The main drawback is the lack of new elements or information, presenting well-known facts visually without establishing them through dialogue attempts, which turns out to be a significant drawback for the film.
Technical Elements:
When it comes to technical skills, director RGV hasn’t added much depth to the storytelling. Unfortunately, the film struggles to grab the audience’s interest. The music, done by Anand Sami, doesn’t really stand out. On the bright side, cinematographer Sajeesh Rajendran captures locations beautifully, presenting natural visuals, and Manish Thakur’s editing is praiseworthy.
Credit for the film’s production values goes to Ramadoot Creations and ARJUVI ARVI Group, and they’ve done a commendable job in this aspect.
Conclusion :
In the political drama “Vyuham,” some political scenes could use more depth, and certain symbolic shots bring an extra layer to the film. Unfortunately, the presence of regular and monotonous political scenes is a downside. Overall, “Vyuham” resonates well with YSRCP supporters, but it might not appeal as much to other audience groups.
