Viswam, Gopichand’s latest release directed by Sreenu Vaitla, hit theaters on Friday (October 11, 2024) with minimal buzz, including its U.S. premiere. Early reviews from netizens have begun circulating on social media, offering a mixed reaction to the film.
One netizen described Viswam as “decent,” giving ratings for various aspects of the film, while another called it an “above-average entertainer” but criticized the last 30 minutes as dragging. Another user summed it up by saying, “Viswam is outdated and tests your patience,” though he also praised specific elements of the action-packed entertainer.
Several fans agreed that the first half of the movie is engaging, delivering a fun experience, while the second half follows a familiar formula typical of Sreenu Vaitla’s style. Although not deemed a comeback for the director, the film is viewed as an improvement over some of his recent works. One viewer noted, “Watch it for the weekend,” while another commented, “I couldn’t stop laughing throughout! An action entertainer worth watching.”
Overall, Viswam seems to appeal to audiences looking for a light, formulaic entertainer, particularly suited for a festive weekend.
