Sajin Shrijith’s review of ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’: Vineeth Sreenivasan delivers his biggest, most wholesome film yet

The film knows perfectly when to be serious and when to be funny. It also knows when to go over the top and when not to. Its heart and soul are Pranav and Dhyan, who deliver their career-best performances.

Imagine this scenario. What if Vineeth Sreenivasan wanted to travel back in time to the ’70s and ’80s and make a film with Mohanlal and his father? Since that’s impossible, the only thing to do is have Pranav Mohanlal do a character named Murali who not only resembles his dad but also convincingly delivers the mannerisms of the characters he did in some of his most memorable films such as Kamaladhalam, Ayal Kadha Ezuthukayaanu, or Devadoothan. And then there’s Dhyan Sreenivasan on the other side, who doesn’t behave like his dad but plays a character named Venu, whose second name is the same as that of his dad’s hometown. Perhaps Venu is someone Sreenivasan could’ve played in the 80s, but he has more in common with Mohanlal’s character from Iruvar. Now, what I’m implying here is that Dhyan’s character gets an impressive evolutionary arc and undergoes a maturity phase that is quite similar.
