Family Star Twitter Review: Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur Bring Magic to a Mediocre Family Drama

Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur's most recent movie, 'Family Star' debuted on large screens on Friday. The family drama received mixed reviews from audience and critics alike.

Family Star Twitter Review: Parasuram Petla’s Family Star, marks the first joint venture of Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur. The film centres on the life of Govardhan (Vijay Deverakonda), a middle-class man, who is dedicated to the happiness and welfare of his family. His surprising relationship becomes the main focus of the movie. Along with Abhinaya, Vasuki, Rohini Hattangadi, and Ravi Babu in supporting roles, Rashmika Mandanna makes a cameo appearance in the movie. Dil Raju’s production, the family drama is available in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Since HanuMan‘s release, the Telugu film industry has been anxiously anticipating a big hit. ‘Family Star‘ might close the gap and turn into a successful Tollywood film – What do you think?

The movie’s trailer, which combines a variety of emotions to appeal to a wide range of viewers, has received an excellent response from viewers. In addition, some of the movie’s songs have become successes. Following the first day shows, social media users have expressed their thoughts about Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur’s family drama. One of the users wrote, “It fails to live up to the hype, delivering an overall average cinematic experience. While Devarakonda’s screen presence manages to salvage some moments, the film lacks the X factor that once defined his performances. One of the biggest disappointments of the film lies in its music, which fails to leave a lasting impact. Comedy track feels forced and awkward. The timing of the film’s release during summer holidays may be its saving grace, as it provides a distraction for families looking for entertainment (sic).” Another user wrote, “It average 1st half… pretty regular scenes, but there are no impacted scenes. So far Vijay and Mrunal screen presence worked.”

#FamilyStar Review:

A Mediocre Offering from Parusuram Petla and Vijay Devarakonda.

It fails to live up to the hype, delivering an overall average cinematic experience. While Devarakonda’s screen presence manages to salvage some moments, the film lacks the X factor that once…

#FamilyStar Review : The first part of the film is enjoyable and has a strong commercial vibe. The second half picks up more of a playful tone . Emotion connects well with the audience

#FamilyStar (Telugu|2024) – THEATRE.

Highly outdated 80s style of story & Mega Boring narration with Silly Scenes. VD-Mrunal No Chemistry. 2 Songs, Interval block & couple of fun scenes r gud in this close to 3Hrs running lengthy film. 0 Emotional Connect. Cringe Worthy. WORST! pic.twitter.com/MStzCkfheI

#FamilyStar First Report:

The first half starts off on a breezy note but quickly falls into the cliche of typical middle-class family problems with no emotional connection. The conflict of the brothers appears unconvincing. Action sequences are okay. The lead pair’s chemistry… pic.twitter.com/6NUwwMccq4

#FamilyStar feels like a rerun of Gemini TV’s Radhika serials. Lead chemistry shines, but can’t rescue the sinking ship. Patchy editing adds to the irritation. Seems like the director’s main goal is a funded holiday in the US, courtesy of the producer..Skip the pain 😢 pic.twitter.com/B6ncLYzmnN

Interval block was interesting 👌
