The 1978 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Don has been remade in Tamil and Telugu a few times, and this is one of them. Rajamouli scores big in the action scenes - the way he builds the tempo to achieve his vision is treat to watch. There are many whistle-worthy scenes featuring an excellent Prabhas. It’s a typical anti-establishment film in which a man from the crowd rises against dictatorship, and falls in love with the heroine, played by Shriya Saran. Here, Prabhas stars as a godfather who helps the masses by making sure they’re not taken advantage of. To this day, there are many people who prefer the latter for various reasons. Chatrapathi (2005)īefore SS Rajamouli and Prabhas teamed up for the Baahubali films, the duo had already collaborated on Chatrapathi. Varsham was later remade into several languages, but the other versions, somehow, lacked the soul of the original. Composer Devi Sri Prasad’s ear-pleasing soundtrack - every song was a success, and poetically spoke about the love story between the leads (Trisha and Prabhas) - was a huge hit. With Varsham, his popularity skyrocketed and he was noticed by everybody in the Telugu-speaking regions. Though he had starred in two other movies previously, they didn’t fetch him any stardom. But it has its heart in the right place and a brilliant Mammootty which makes up for an easy watch.Varsham was Prabhas’ first mega hit. Overall Varsham may not be a great film or a masterpiece. In fact the later half is better when compared with the earlier.
Ranjith Shankar’s recent movies had a tendency for a little bit weak later half’s but Varsham is an exception. Fortunately both works big time for the movie and thus makes up for the simple Plot. From there it is the directors emotions and Mammootty’s performance which carries the movie forward. But gets better when it enters into the plot. The films begin on a weak note as there are many clichéd sequences. A movie which relies more on emotion need a good involvement from its music director and Bijibal does his duty with his smart background scores. He has made sure that there is richness in every possible frame. Manoj Pillai’s Cinematography is really an asset for the movie. TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT – Varsham Malayalam Film Dialogues are meaningful and touching at many portions. The screenplay is decent but could have been better in the beginning. When he took a simple plot he made sure that he has extracted a good portion of actor in Mammootty. If it was the decent thrills in Passenger, the humour in Punyalan, this time around it is Mammoottys performance. But he knows to explain things in simple yet likeable manner. STORY – SCREENPLAY – DIRECTION – Varshamĭirector Ranjith Shankar isn’t know for bringing novel concepts or great films. Mamta, T.G Ravi, Vinod Kavur are good in their roles.
Asha Sharat is good as Venu’s wife but looked artificial in the beginning because of a clichéd characterisation. Few scenes resembles us the vintage Mammootty. Mammootty who was more on subtle characters of late, comes up with an intense and expressive performance this time. PERFORMANCE – Varsham FilmĪs claimed by the director Varsham is highly dependent on Mammootty and he delivers it with ease. A twist in the tale turns their lives forever and what happens to Venu and his family forms the rest. Venu ( Mammootty) is a financier and has a happy family including his wife (Asha Sharath) and son (master Prajwal). 3.0 Fair on content and high on Mammootty.
