Varshangalkku Shesham

Alright ... I've got a lot of thoughts on this one, so I will try to keep it short, keyword try*.

Now, where do I start ... the songs, were meh, some were alright, but we've had better from Vineeth, 'Madhu Pakaroo' is decent though. The BGM and the rest of the soundtrack was apt for this genre in general, and did accompany certain scenes really well.

Now the storyline itself, nothing special, very predictable, and all, the first half you do feel a bit of a drag here and there, (the movie is almost 3 hours) and the funny thing is the first half and second half of this, lowkey felt like two different films, obviously there is a change of setting, new characters and all that are introduced. But like the first half itself had a climax, and that part was concluded so you would think 'oh, it's finished' - and obviously it's not.

Like I'm going to be honest, the Kalyani x Pranav love side-story didn't hit as much as it should've and felt a bit forced, as it didn't really have a significant impact on the rest of the film. And some scenes were a bit ... cringe. OK, now it looks like I'm hating on the movie, bear with me. It's a Vineeth film, and that's his style and it's fine, we already know that and accept it.

Next, performances, this is easily Dhyan's career best no joke (cause all his other individual films are flops) like he was very mature, and his comedic timing was pretty good, now coming to Pranav, he's like (being Mohanlal's son and all there's always been a lot of pressure on him ever since he came into the industry - why is blud waffling) he was alright, like he wasn't bad or anything, and you could feel a bit of vintage mohanlal vibes occasionally; mannerisms and all, but Dhyan did score more than him.

Aju Varghese came, added some humour, then Basil came added some MORE humour, Neeraj Madhav had a hilarious small role as well, and then ...

The man, the myth, the legend, NIVIN PAULY, sorry "NITHIN MOLLY" came, the fact is I went to see this film JUST for him, and see him on the big screen again, and I WAS NOT disappointed. As soon as, he arrived the theatre went crazy and all his scenes were peak, we literally did "get him back", his energy was absolutely amazing, like deadass could not stop laughing. Like his character, was him playing as himself pretty much, and he was trolling himself, calling people out for body-shaming him, all his previous films being flops etc. And like essentially it is 4th wall breaking and quite literally a message to his haters. And that one scene, got so much applause and cheers from the audience, it was lit. A little bit of overacting, but again his character literally demanded it, and it was so entertaining. Oh yeah, and there was so many fun references to other movies, and real life internet personalities. And a lot of cameos. Like the film is lowkey a tribute to malayalam cinema, and a wake up call for this current generation of directors.

Jeez oh, I think you know what I am about to say, NIVIN PAULY carried the film, or at least made it significantly better.

Dhyan did pretty well, Pranav was alright, and the comedy although a bit inconsistent, there was more hits than misses. Again, if you were to watch this at home, you would probably skip through some scenes, and that's why certain movies will only work with a lively audience, and a proper 'theatre experience'.

OK, to summarise, a 'typical vineeth sreenivasan film', definitely a family padam, and yeah, once again, I didn't hate the film or anything, it's a nice feel-good picture, I just didn't like certain aspects, but as a whole it is decent.

Now, if you actually read allat, respect.

First off, this movie is for the family. There's tons to laugh in the second half. Nivin Pauly just steals the whole thing with his acting and self troll. Real credit goes to Vineeth Sreenivasan. He's a genius craftsman. He knows exactly how to make the film click with the general audience. Coming to the film. There's nothing new about the storyline. We can very well predict the course. Dhyan has done well. Pranav struggles. Story begins cheerfully and lags as it inches towards the halftime mark. From then on, it's a rollercoaster of laughs. It's more funny when 100s of people laugh with you. So may not be that good when it comes to OTT. But definitely a one time enjoyable film, that has its ups and downs.

I recently watched Varshangalku Shesham with a group of friends, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. Despite the excitement from movie makers and reviewers, our experience was quite different.

The movie felt very lagging, lacking the pace and engagement we expected. The storyline dragged on, and it failed to capture our attention throughout. Casting family and friends without a logical connection of friendship in the story made it boring and disconnected. Additionally, the music did not meet our expectations, failing to enhance the viewing experience.

What disappointed us the most was the stark contrast between the glowing reviews and our actual experience. It felt as though the positive reviews were misleading, leading to inflated expectations that were not met during the screening.

Now, more people are providing actual feedback, reflecting the true sentiments of viewers who may have felt similarly let down by the film's execution.

~ Varshangalk Shesham was definitely not for me. I am very disappointed after watching this film. I didn't like anything in this film apart from the Cinematography by Oddukathil Vishwajith , some of the frames were really nice. The music was also good. Other than that the performances were okayish , Dhyan was fine. The characters in this film did not connect to me at all. I felt like they are stupid. Some of the characters and actors were there just for nothing. Lot of the times I felt Vineeth Sreenivasan was forcefully trying to make the film feel - good. Nivin Pauly character was an hit and miss for me. He performed better in this than his previous few films , but I still didn't get to see that old Nivin back. The length of the film is another drawback as it is very long and is tiring. Personally I didn't like it at all.

Varshangalkku shesham is a slow paced drama by the director vineeth sreenivasan.so far i can say this is the worst film in his directorial.. So many characters fitted in to make a cinema.overall cinema is okay but nothing will happen to the cinema if a few characters are removed..felt like compromised so much..the main positive from the movie is dhyan and nivin pauly.. Starting was gripping and finally was dragging till the end of first half..then comes nithin molly aka nivin pauly where the movie elevated a little bit if there was no nivin the film would have been a disaster.

Music by amrith was ok considering him as an new commercial.

But somehow the vineeth magic is holding all the negatives into positive by a few moments which he brilliantly placed in to the movies to spice it up,which makes it a decent watch.
