Entertainment News: Malayalam cinema has always been known for its experimental content, strong stories and strong acting. When it comes to a veteran actor like Mohanlal, the expectations of the audience increase even more. The film ‘Vrusshabha’, released in theaters on December 25, lives up to these expectations to a great extent.
The film is a completely different and innovative project in Mohanlal’s career, shot simultaneously in Malayalam and Telugu and released pan-India.
Story: Curse, rebirth and father-son conflict
The story of the film revolves around a king who is cursed by a woman that his son will die in front of him and he himself will be responsible for it. This curse is not limited to just one birth, but follows him for many births. The story reaches the modern era i.e. 2025, where the curse again affects the king’s life and his son’s life is in danger.
The main question of the film is whether he will be able to save his son from this fate or will history repeat itself? To know this mystery and emotional conflict, it is necessary to watch the film, because the story keeps the audience engaged till the climax.
How is the film: New experience and strong screenplay
‘Vrishabh’ is a film that tries to connect the traditional king-maharaja story with the modern context and is successful to a great extent. The pace of the film is balanced and it does not drag on unnecessarily. The twist that comes just before the interval surprises the audience and gives a new direction to the story.
The screenplay is tight and moves the story forward effectively. Although the VFX of the film could have been better, the strong story and strong acting cover up these shortcomings to a great extent.
Acting: Mohanlal’s class and emotional depth
Mohanlal once again proves why he is counted among the great actors of Indian cinema. His character in ‘Vrishabh’ is not just that of a king, but of a father who can go to any extent to save his son. Sometimes he becomes a chef for his son, and sometimes he fights the enemies when necessary.
The confidence and poise with which Samarjit Lankesh has acted opposite Mohanlal is commendable. Ragini Dwivedi looks impressive in her character and creates a strong screen presence. Nayan Sarika has also done justice to her role.
Writing and Direction: Nand Kishore’s strong hold
The film is written and directed by Nand Kishore. The biggest strength of the story is its writing, which makes the film emotional and interesting. His command over direction is also clearly visible, especially in emotional scenes and big sequences. If you are a fan of Mohanlal or are interested in films based on mythology, reincarnation and emotional drama, then ‘Vrishabh’ is a good choice for you. The film gives a different experience and also reflects the pan-India expansion of Indian cinema.
