Rating – 2/5.
Read our full Telugu review here.
Full Report : Vijetha is about a middle class father who was unable to pursue a career he is passionate about due to family obligations. He mentors his wayward son to pursue his passion. Rest of story is how his son succeeds and also how he gives him a surprise gift related to his passion.
First things first. This movie is no Bommarillu as has been touted. No where even close. Director picked a once successful formula that has been used and reused in Tollywood. Either be it due to the lead pair or narration, there is no emotional connection in the movie. Kudos to Sai Korrapati for excellent Production values. Senthil’s Cinematography stands out.
Kalyaan Dhev is just OK and has a long long way to go before he can even get into the Mega Eleven.
8:00 AM Kalyaan gives a surprise to his father which ties back to his missing passion, he couldn’t pursue due to family obligations. The End.
7:20 AM Even though technical team has tried to cover up for Kalyaan’s lack of emotions, he falls flat in pre climax scene.
7:15 AM – Salaam Salaam song. Long shots and it appears as if director tries to minimize lead actor’s screentime as much as possible.
7:00 AM – A flippant kidnap drama orchestrated by Kalyaan Devv. Forced emotions.
First half report:
Vijetha is about a middle class father who was unable to succeed in a career he is passionate about and deeply worried about his son and family.
Kalyaan Dhev is just OK. Cameraman Senthil (Baahubali game) takes ample care. He looks odd in few scenes.
6:50 AM Murali Sharma encounters a sudden health situation and Interval.
