"Varshangalku Shesham" takes us on a charming journey through the world of aspiring filmmakers in the Madras (now Chennai) of the 1980s and 90s. The film's technical aspects are a real treat - the music is a delightful blend of nostalgia and contemporary sounds, perfectly capturing the era. The visuals are equally impressive, transporting viewers back in time with their evocative settings and costumes.
The performances by Dhyan Sreenivasan, Nivin Pauly, and Basil Joseph are the true highlights, and they bring their characters to life with humor and warmth. Kalyani Priyadarshan and Neeta Pillai, while not having extensive roles, deliver solid performances in the supporting cast.
However, the film falters slightly when it comes to Pranav Mohanlal's portrayal. While he shows potential, there are moments where his acting could be more nuanced.
Despite these shortcomings, "Varshangalku Shesham" is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The story of friendship, ambition, and the magic of cinema is heartwarming and relatable. With its strong technical aspects and stellar performances , this film is a delightful watch for anyone looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane of film making in the 80s and at present.
