Varshangalkku Sesham, directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, is a gripping film that portrays the relationship between musician Murali and aspiring director Venu through a combination of past and current music.
Vineeth Sreenivasan’s ‘Varshangalkku Sesham’ is a star-studded film about the relationship between musician Murali (Pranav Mohanlal) and aspiring director Venu. The film highlights Venu and Murali’s difficulties as they leave Kannur for Tamil Nadu to pursue their cinematic goals. The first part of the film has a theatrical tone, with melodramatic language and character profiles. However, Nivin Pauly’s performance raises the picture to the level of an entertainer, combining aspects from the past with present music.
A Film Journey Begins
Varshangalkku Sesham, directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, is a gripping film about a friendship between musician Murali (Pranav Mohanlal) and aspiring director Venu. The film also offers a nostalgic look at the challenges of those who drank Kodambakkam’s tap water and worked hard to attain their goals through the ‘Tinsel Ville’.
Movie Plot: A Reflection of the Past and Early Difficulties
Inspired by their mutual love and ambitions for movies, Venu and Murali leave Kannur for Tamil Nadu. They deal with a variety of professional, mental, and career paths. Their struggles shape their life’s path over fifty years in a field where a Friday determines destiny. “Varshangalkku Sesham” shows the significance of their journey.
Progress and Victory in the Second Half
The film has a cinematic flavor to it, with a melodramatic tone in the first half set in the past. The director’s goal is to get the audience invested in Murali and Venu, but it fails until the intermission. The humor becomes formulaic, and Pranav struggles with his salt-and-pepper interpretation. Dhyan impresses on the emotional side of his character, while Shaan Rahman does well as a rookie actor. Kalyani Priyadarshan receives little attention in the plot.
Emotional Intensity and Musical Time Frames
The film’s second half is energetic, with characters such as Basil Joseph, Aju Varghese, and Nivin Pauly keeping it entertaining. The film shows the industry’s stakeholders’ ongoing alertness, as well as Pauly’s ability to turn difficult situations into enjoyable components. The film’s success can be due to its excellent writing and Nivin’s honest effort to breathe life into the lines.
A Tour Beyond the Cinema
Amrit Ramnath’s songs, which combine traditional and contemporary themes, keep audiences interested. The song ‘Nyabagam’ is a must-watch for music lovers. Vineeth’s director isn’t very familiar with Tamil Nadu or nostalgia, and the picture lacks ‘feel-goodness’. If you can stand the calming music, the second half is enjoyable under Nivin Pauly’s direction. This film is worth watching for music lovers.
