The latest film starring Mohanlal is Vrusshabha, directed by Nanda Kishore, who previously made Pogaru. Made simultaneously in Malayalam and Telugu, this film didn’t carry big expectations. Let’s see how much it managed to impress the audience!
Vrusshabha Story: Adidev (Mohanlal) and his son Tej (Samarjit) start recalling memories from their past lives, which affect their present. The story of Vrusshabha revolves around uncovering this past and overcoming its impact.
Performances: Mohanlal appears more like a character artist than the hero, often disconnected from the main story. Samarjit shows potential but needs a stronger script to shine. Nayan Sarika impresses with expressions, yet her role doesn’t elevate the film.
Ragini Dwivedi makes a brief return, but her short screen time limits impact. Supporting actors like Ali, Ajay, Garuda Ram, and Balagam Sanjay appear briefly without much significance.
Technical Aspects: Technically, the film is weak, with poor graphics, AI Shiva, and battlefield visuals disappoint, while Sam C.S.’s music is just average. Art, costumes, and overall design don’t match the film’s scale.
Director Nanda Kishore’s addition of the reincarnation concept unnecessarily complicates the story, creating confusion for characters and audiences alike, failing to impress as both director and storyteller.
Analysis: Unlike most films, Vrusshabha offers almost no positive points. Even with Mohanlal’s dual role, the 127-minute runtime feels boring, making it rare to see such a promising cast fail, leaving audiences completely disappointed.
Verdict: Vrusshabha fails to engage. Weak technicals, a confusing story, and lack of impactful moments make it a tedious watch, leaving audiences disappointed.
Bottom Line: Disappointing despite Mohanlal.
Rating: 1.5/5
