Vimanam, a Telugu and Tamil bilingual film written and directed by Yanala Siva Prasad, beautifully narrates the tale of a father's love, struggle, and sacrifice to fulfil his son's dream. The film's appeal is universal and strikes a chord with the audience. Some of the scenes are emotionally stirring and have the potential to bring tears to the eyes of some viewers. It comes across as an honest film with brilliant performances and apt visuals. The central characters of the father and son, played by Samuthirakani and Master Dhruvan, leave a lasting impression. Samuthirakani once again delivers a solid performance as a handicapped single father, making the audience root for his cause. Master Dhruvan, portraying Raju, embodies his character like a seasoned artiste and delivers a nuanced performance. Set in a slum backdrop, the film has a rustic yet realistic feel, with a few characters designed to bring out the essence of the locale and its people. The supporting acts by Rahul Ramakrishna, Dhanraj, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Meera Jasmine, Naan Kadavul Rajendran, and others add to the film's narrative, turning it into a compelling package. Cinematography by Vivek Kalepu and music by Charan Arjun serves the film's purpose, setting the tone and elevating the emotions portrayed by the characters. The film features dialogues by Hanu Ravuri, art direction by Jk Murthy, and Marthand K Venkatesh. While the film has many positive aspects, some sections of the second half could have been more engaging. Additionally, at some point, viewers might feel overwhelmed by the seemingly endless stream of problems faced by the already-disadvantaged characters. However, others might find a connection in these struggles. Overall, Vimanam is a film that showcases a father's (and parents') love for his son (and children) and possesses universal appeal. Watch it for its solid performances and decent production values.Read more
