Viswam Movie Review Roundup: Gopichand's Action Drama Falls Short on Freshness šŸŽ¬šŸ”„ #Viswam #Gopichand #SrinuVaitla

TL;DR: Viswam, starring GopichandĀ and directed by Srinu Vaitla, has hit theatres, but reviews suggest a mixed reception. While the movie attempts to balance actionĀ and comedy, the predictable storyĀ and lack of freshnessĀ seem to hold it back. Gopichand’s performance and the film’s comedic elementsĀ are praised, but many feel that the plot treads familiar territory without offering anything new. Here's what critics and social media are saying. šŸ“Š


Critics’ Take: Familiar Storyline, Strong Performances 🧐

  • GreatAndhraĀ rated ViswamĀ 2.5/5, noting that while GopichandĀ is effective in his role, the film’s storylineĀ is a letdown, being too predictable. The review appreciated Srinu Vaitla'sĀ signature comedy tracks, especially those involving PrithviĀ and Gopichand, which brought some much-needed laughs to the first half. However, the overall narrativeĀ lacked originality and tension, making the second half feel drawn out and formulaic​(NTV Telugu).


  • TV9 TeluguĀ also highlighted the film’s predictable plot, describing it as another routine action dramaĀ with a terrorism backdrop. They felt that Srinu Vaitla, who hasn’t delivered a major hit in years, tried to lean heavily on Gopichand's star powerĀ and comedy sequencesĀ to engage the audience. The emotional coreĀ involving Gopichand’s characterĀ and the child he’s protecting adds depth, but fails to elevate the overall film​(TV9 Telugu).


  • SakshiĀ gave a slightly better take, praising Gopichand’s effortsĀ and mentioning that Chetan Bharadwaj’s musicĀ helps build some tension in key scenes. The film's action sequencesĀ are well-executed, but the storylineĀ suffers from a lack of innovation, making it a tough sell to audiences expecting something fresh​(TV9 Telugu).


Social Media Reactions: Mixed Emotions from Fans šŸ“²šŸ’¬

Fans and viewers took to social mediaĀ to share their thoughts on Viswam, with reactions ranging from appreciation for Gopichand’s action scenesĀ to criticism of the repetitive story:

  • A user on TwitterĀ shared, ā€œ#Viswam is an entertaining watch if you’re in the mood for some old-school action and comedy. But don’t expect any surprises in the story. šŸŽ„āœØā€

  • Another fan tweeted, ā€œLoved seeing GopichandĀ back in action, but Srinu VaitlaĀ needs to bring in fresher ideas. It felt like a movie from the 2010s. šŸ¤” #ViswamReviewā€

A Look at the Ratings ā­šŸ“‰

Here's a quick summary of how different sources rated Viswam:

  • GreatAndhra: 2.5/5Ā - Praises Gopichand and the comedy but criticizes the predictable plot.

  • TV9 Telugu: Highlights the routine storylineĀ with a few engaging comedy moments.

  • Sakshi: Notes that while the actionĀ and musicĀ were good, the film lacked a fresh narrative.

MediaFx Opinion: Nostalgia Without the Novelty šŸ§ šŸŽ„

At MediaFx, we believe ViswamĀ has the elements of a classic Telugu action film, but it fails to bring something new to the table. The movie might appeal to those who enjoy Gopichand’s charismaĀ and Srinu Vaitla’s comedic touch, but for viewers looking for a fresh story, this one might feel like a missed opportunity.

What do you think, fans? Does ViswamĀ live up to your expectations, or is it just another routine drama? Share your thoughts below! šŸ‘‡šŸ’¬
