A family at the center of the narrative is led by Rajendran (Sarath Kumar), one of India’s most powerful businesspeople. His two sons, Jai and Ajay (Srikanth and Shaam), manage his business, and one of them aspires to succeed him as the heir. Rajendran resolves to fulfill his wife’s goal of having a lavish 65th birthday celebration after discovering one fine day that he has advanced-stage pancreatic cancer. Vijay Rajendran (Vijay), the youngest son of Rajendran, comes home for the birthday celebration after being away for seven years. After a quarrel with his father about working for the family business, he had fled home. What occurs within the family that compels Vijay to remain, and why does his father choose him as chairman of his group of businesses? Can Vijay rejoin his now-separated family and establish himself as a deserving varisu?
In terms of performances, Vijay steals the show. He is strong enough to carry anything on his shoulders, and his seamless screen presence in many situations has boosted the movie. After a brief hiatus, Vijay returns with his trademark humor. Audience members are aware of Vijay’s distinct comedic style, which they can witness in Varisu after missing it in his previous few movies. Additionally significant roles go to Jayasudha and Sarathkumar, who play Vijay’s mother and father. They are undoubtedly the best fit for the parts. Rashmika Mandanna has just one more commercial film appearance, and she works well with Vijay. On screen, the actress exudes a lot of energy. With regard to family dynamics, Yogi Babu’s comedic sequences are extremely beneficial. As Vijay’s brothers Ajay and Jai, Shaam and Srikanth exude excellence.
Although the plot is well-known and follows a standard pattern, it is enough because the initial setting is established credibly. Vamshi Paidipally woven every component of a typical commercial performer so expertly that the finished web is powerful enough to dazzle all audiences. Outstanding production values may be found in the movie. The spectator can see opulent residences, opulent offices, and expensive costumes because the plot centers on a wealthy business family. The film’s strongest point is its focus on family dynamics in the first half. In the second half, the focus shifts, and Vamshi shines with the mass moments that combine humor and heroism in equal measure. In order to avoid things becoming overly emotional, he often breaks up the melancholy scenes with humor.
Every time predictability starts to creep in, Vijay enters to divert attention and amuse with his flawless performance. The cinematography by Karthik Palani and the editing by KL Praveen give the movie a strong technical foundation. The album Thaman S released is enjoyable. Regarding the background music, he did a good job of capturing the essence of the family situations and, as always, the musician forcefully conveyed the times when the hero is elevated. The speed of the movie is slowed down by a few songs, and the editing style is outdated with split-screen frames. Another issue was the obvious poor quality of the VFX from beginning to end.
