Vishwanath and Sons - A rant
Am I the only one for whom VAS totally didn’t work?
I see a lot of opinions where people rave about the first half but dismissive of the second half
For me personally, I felt like it was a mush of just filler scenes that had no context to it.
Like it didn’t matter at all that Surya is an Olympic medalist.
The scene with George Maryan had absolutely nothing to do with the plotline.
The baby should’ve been a central character but was just used as a prop to engage with.
Although Surya’s rendezvous abroad was dealt with maturity, it had no give or take to the storyline except deep into the second half where Surya jokes with Nasar about having an affair.
Mamitha’s character started off with a lot of potential but felt like Venky forgot what the character was when he set out to write her in the first place.
Radhika was phenomenal no doubt but her character was rarely given time to show different shades before her exit.
And let’s not get into the plot where having the second wife while still being married to the first one is normalized. Surya’s anger towards the second wife’s family and his dad made strong sense and voila all of it is gone in the second half.
Overall I felt like this was Surya’s version of Vaarisu. Sorry not sorry
