"Viswam" (2024) is a Telugu-language action-comedy film directed by Sreenu Vaitla and starring Gopichand in the lead role. The movie also features Kavya Thapar, Jisshu Sengupta, Naresh, and a strong supporting cast that includes well-known comedians like Vennela Kishore and Sunil.
Plot:
The story follows Gopi (Gopichand), who travels from Italy to Hyderabad to win over his love, Sameera (Kavya Thapar). However, a series of events unfold, revealing Gopi's true identity as Viswam, who is on a mission involving a young girl named Darshana. The plot delves into how Gopi/Viswam protects Darshana from terrorists and uncovers the mystery of their connection.
Review:
The movie has garnered mixed reviews. Gopichand's performance, particularly in emotional and action scenes, has been appreciated, along with some well-executed comedy sequences. The romantic chemistry between Gopichand and Kavya Thapar also adds appeal. Jisshu Sengupta's role as the antagonist has received positive remarks, and the supporting cast's comedic timing contributes to the film’s entertainment factor.
However, the film falters due to its predictable second half and a lack of engaging screenplay. Many felt that the mind games between the hero and the villain could have been more compelling. Director Sreenu Vaitla's signature style and reliance on comedy overshadowed the potential for a tighter narrative.
Technical Aspects:
The cinematography by K. V. Guhan and Chaitan Bharadwaj's background score are some of the film's highlights. The production values are high, but the movie suffers from pacing issues, especially in the second half.
Verdict:
Overall, "Viswam" is a decent entertainer with good comedy and action scenes, but it falls short in terms of screenplay and narrative depth. It is recommended for fans of Gopichand and those who enjoy light-hearted action comedies, though expectations should be tempered.
Rating:
The film has received an average rating of 2.75/5
