Kushi Movie Review: Director Shiva Nirvana and actors Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu aim for box office success with “Kushi,” a family-friendly romance and drama. The film weaves comedy, music, and references to classic movies but also delves into the clash of ideologies within relationships.
A Clash of Ideologies
The movie sets the stage with two contrasting fathers, one an atheist and the other a staunch believer. Chaos ensues when their children, Viplav and Aradhya, fall in love and decide to marry. “Kushi” explores their romance, featuring nods to Mani Ratnam and A.R. Rahman’s works, creating a visually captivating first half.
While “Kushi” entertains, it grapples with inconsistent messaging. The film tries to address issues like the clash between science and faith, but the narrative rushes past these conflicts. At times, it introduces regressive dialogues and ideas, marring its potential as a progressive love story.
Mixed Reactions and Opportunity
Initial reactions to “Kushi” on social media indicate positive feedback from audiences. Vijay Deverakonda’s comeback, the lead pair’s chemistry, and the film’s music have received praise. However, some find the film’s approach to socio-political conflicts, such as religion and love jihad, to be problematic.
Despite its potential, “Kushi” falls short of delivering a heartwarming and impactful message about love and acceptance beyond faith. It veers into convoluted territory, with many ideas that distract from its core narrative.
In conclusion, “Kushi” offers moments of entertainment and showcases Vijay Deverakonda’s return to his charming roots but fails to fully explore its promising themes, leaving audiences with mixed feelings.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Comeback
Vijay Deverakonda delivers a charming and earnest performance as Viplav, recapturing his original boy-next-door appeal. His chemistry with Samantha is a highlight, and the film’s comedy and emotional scenes resonate with audiences.
