Vrushabha (2025) Movie: Artists Review

Mohanlal transforms seamlessly between two roles and two timelines. He looked stylish as the businessman and royal as the king. He enacted action sequences with ease and delivered dialogues according to the situation. He showed good emotions as the father who cares for his son.

Samarjith Lankesh played the role of Mohanlal's son quite well. He looked handsome and showed caring nature towards father quite well. He is good in showing feelings of love and he performed well in the surprising twist. Nayan Sarika is good and beautiful on the screen.

Ragini Dwivedi, Ajay, Neha Saxena, Vinay Varma, Garuda Ram, Ali, Kishore, Ayyappa P Sharma performed well according to their roles.

Vrushabha (2025) Movie: Technicians Review

Vrusshabha story is penned by Naandda Kishore. He tried to come up with a socio fantasy entertainer adding spiritual elements and reincarnation to it. But right from the start till the fnish, instead of coming up with the novel idea and new story, he copied various scenes from the hit films of the past thus robbing viewers of the real experience.

Story in the process turned out to be outdated and monotonous and with the weak story, characterisations suffered. Various characters are there and none of them are developed strongly. The screenplay is uni dimensional revolving around father son sentiment, lovers feelings and the reincarnation concept and spiritual elements in the climax. The pre interval block is predictable and so too the climax. Pre climax and Climax turns out tobe mindless and senseless and this made viewers run towards the exit. Altogether director failed completely in the direction department and at the script writing stage itself.

The background score is tuned by Sam CS. It turned out to be a total failure as instead of elevating the scenes and giving cenematic experience to the viewers, it turned out to be loud and jarring. Antony Samson's cinematography failed to create the required feel to the viewers and the VFX and CGI used turned out to be worse and substandard.

There is nothing to talk about the editing of KM.Prakash as with the weak story he is at his wits end as to what to include and what not and if had to do away with any unwanted scenes, more than 70% of the scenes should be deleted. Dialogues are just ok and production values are below average.

Vrusshabha (2025) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Vrusshabha turns out to be beaten to death, outdated story. Director Naandda Kishore failed completely despite getting green signal from top star like Mohanlal. Mohanlal as usual came up with intense performance but with senseless story, spineless screenplay and disastrous direction, the film turned out to be a non starter with in few minutes into the narration. Wonder how seasoned actor like Mohanlal gave green signal to the project despite all his experience. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 rating for Vrusshabha.
