Vijayanand

Director Rishika Sharma captures the life of an extraordinary man, who 'made his own road, and drove on it too'. Depicting the life of Vijay Sankeshwar, the founder of VRL Group, Rishika's second outing as a director tells the inspiring tale of the mammoth transport company, which started off with just one lorry. Rishika's biopic adroitly stitches the ups and downs of his life, of course, sprinkling commercial elements while doing so. Tracing the life of a personality like Vijay Sankeshwar is a huge responsibility, but Rishika makes it entertaining. Vijayanand never seems like an exaggeration; it remains pragmatic and inspiring.

What a wonderful, inspirational movie. I come from Uttara Karnataka, and I have heard of Vijay Sankeshwar. He is a businessman and known personality in Karnataka. This movie is based on his life. It shows the problems he has faced and how he overcame themThe director Rishika Sharma has done great job in bringing the story on the celluloid. Nihal who played the role of Vijay Sankeshwar has put a lot of effort on his looks and done justice to the role given. Anant Nag, Bharat Bopanna and Siri Prahlad did their job well. Songs by Gopi Sunder are melodious and the BGM is also very nice. Superb movie.

Being a biopic, the film is weaved around the rise of Vijay Sankeshwar to spotlight through his diligence and perseverance in business arena. It encompasses all the significant events of his life right from his decision to break away from his traditional printing business to a new spectrum of transportation. Watched this yesterday at a theatre in Bangalore. Today's younger generation needs more movies like these which inspire them to take risks. Young people are working onstart ups. The beautiful photography of North Karnataka, superb acting, and realistically told modern story make Vijayanand a good choice as an eye-opener for someone who doesn't know Vijay Sankeshwar so well. And the music is extraordinary.

This movie is all about the vision of a personVijay Sankeshwar (Nihal) & his efforts to realize the dream, fighting against all odds. This is a movie about a simple guy trying to make it big in this world. It can easily relate to just about any successful entrepreneur who has been able to achieve his vision. Vijayanand is the story of the rise of a common man from a small town in Karnataka to become the owner of maybe the most successful lorry, newspaper and television business in India. The film is said to be based closely on the story of a real person, Vijay Sankeshwar. It seems intended to inspire Indians to overcome the obstacles.

Vijay takes a risk, defaults on debt, buys a lorry, and sets out to chase his dream. The path is exciting but filled with obstacles. One part that keeps the excitement going is how he goes about clearing the roadblocks in his life, and how he manages to succeed. The second half covers his brief entry into politics, and how he got into the media business and became number one. I recommend this movie to all the youths who are loosing interest in taking risks and considering new paths in life. Songs by Gopi Sunder are melodious and the BGM is also very nice. Vijayanand showcases an ambitious man's dogged persistence and perseverance, and is definitely an inspiring watch.
