Journalist Rajasekar tweeted: "#Varisu first half - Theri #ThalapathyVijay is firing all the cylinders in style! Thalapathy Vijay, the leading man is also receiving immense love for his unmatchable screen presence and onscreen charm. The release of the Telugu version, which is titled Vaarasudu, is postponed to next week. The audiences who watched the premiere show of Varisu which was held in Chennai on January 10 at midnight, are highly impressed with the film and are calling it a perfect entertainer. According to the early reviews, the Thalapathy Vijay starrer is a wholesome package of family drama, humour, romance, high-octane action scenes, and colourful song sequences. Varisu, the Thalapathy Vijay starrer finally had its grand release.

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, 'Varisu' exploits Vijay's humourous and emotional facets while exploring an all-familiar tale.

There are plenty of moments in the second half – especially during his conversations with his brothers and Prakash Raj’s gang – during which Vijay goes back to having fun and being the hero we loved a few decades back, before he became too socially conscious in his roles. Will Vijay agree to ditch his carefree life – the first time we see him, he’s on a bike trip and enjoying Nature’s sights and sounds – and show interest in his father’s multi-crore business? Bland popcorn in the movies isn’t exciting anymore, and that seems to be the case with on-screen proceedings as well.

Varisu movie review: It's a quintessential family drama with all the familiar beats. Along with Vijay, the film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Sarath Kumar, ...

For the family drama angle to have worked even more effectively, the conflict between the brothers should’ve been even more stronger. The story is centered around a family that’s headlined by Rajendran (Sarath Kumar), who is one of the biggest businessmen in India. It’s your quintessential family drama with all the familiar beats and it’s largely salvaged by the presence of one man, Rajendran’s youngest son, Vijay Rajendran (Vijay), returns home after seven years for the birthday party at the behest of his mother. His two sons – Jai and Ajay (Srikanth and Shaam) - look after his business and one among them is hopeful of becoming the heir. In spite of the myriad iterations of the same story template over the years, it is one genre with a very high success rate.

Vamshi Paidipally makes a film that Vijay is perfect for — song, dance, fight and some snide antics. Sadly, that's precisely what makes Varisu rather ...

The template has its beats and there is something to give us a booster shot every time the predictability flu is about to hit. For most of the first half, the predictability of these beats and the setup-punchline-slomo structure of these scenes make us restless to just get on with it. Varisu celebrates a woman’s stoic acceptance of the kitchen as her place. Vijay blackmails board members of a public limited company with inane personal stuff in response to which they vote for him as chairman; some of them even dance at the board meeting (somewhat Forget the Bechdel test, she is such an integral part of this film’s family that she has not a single dialogue of consequence. If you can catch the references (I couldn’t, at least not all) and enjoy the ridiculousness (I most certainly could), Varisu is certainly tolerable. The good thing about Vamshi Paidipally’s Varisu is that there is no pretense of doing anything new, unique or imaginative. His wife, Sudha (Jayasudha), is a long-suffering mother and family peacekeeper. His wife (Sangeetha) is a long-suffering loner with a perpetual long face. It’s also the off-handed acceptance of the message that Varisu is going for: Even if toxic, to the point of being murderous, families are sacrosanct. His wife (Samyuktha)...well, by now, you know the drill. At its head is the controlling and competition-obsessed father, Rajendran (Sarathkumar), who also runs a business conglomerate.

Varisu release: The hashtag comes at a time when Vijay's movie is clashing with Ajith's Thunivu, a mega Pongal clash that happened after eight years.

With a fair share of flaws in the screenplay, Thunivu ends up as a decent flick." The film works for the most part and is what we would expect from a family entertainer," read the review. Waste of time and money🙅🤦🙆 [#VarisuDisaster] [#DilRaju] [#Vijay] [#Varasudu] [#movie] [#Varisureviews] [#Tamil] [January 11, 2023]

This is a film written for an audience that thrives on Vijay's stardom and it satisfies them thoroughly, observes Divya Nair.

Even Prakash Raj (whose memorable performance in Gilli is mocked at) gets a dummy role as the villain. (When do we start work on Varisu 2?).' If the predictability of the film's events doesn't excite you enough, there are countless references to his previous films, thrown in with ample sauce of sarcasm and subtle digs at his competitors in the industry. Much against his will and principles, Vijay chooses to come home to the rescue of his ailing father. He is thrown out of his home, but continues to stay in touch with his mother Jaya, brought to life beautifully by the talented Jayasudha. Vijay is the youngest son of a shrewd and successful mining entrepreneur Rajendran (played by Sarath Kumar), who has no interest in joining his arrogant father's firm.
