Vanvas Movie Review: In today’s fast-paced world, where technology and social media dominate our lives, the importance of family relationships has somewhat faded into the background. It seems that films with emotional depth that explore the relationships between family members have become rare. However, a film like ‘Vanvas’ still manages to leave an impact. Although this film may seem a bit dramatic and old-fashioned, it serves an important purpose: reminding us of the importance of family and bringing us closer to our roots.
plot
‘Vanvas’ revolves around the three sons of Nana Patekar’s character, an elderly man who wants to keep the family’s ancestral home intact, despite his sons wanting to sell it. Nana Patekar’s character retains this house because it holds the memories of his late wife. However, his son takes him to Varanasi and tells everyone that his father has passed away. Nana, suffering from memory loss, forgets his name, his address and much more. In Varanasi, he meets a young man named Veeru, played by Utkarsh. What follows is a touching journey of rediscovery of both the past and familial bonds. The emotional core of ‘Vanvas’ lies in its depiction of forgotten relationships and the healing that comes when we are reunited with our families.
how is the movie?
‘Vanvas’ highlights the essence of family relationships. Although a bit long and full of melodrama, it successfully conveys a deep emotional message. Nana Patekar’s magnetic presence on screen mesmerizes the audience, making them overlook the film’s flaws and enjoy the emotional journey. ‘Vanvas’ may seem like it belongs in an earlier time, perhaps 20 years ago, but its message is timeless and still relevant today. It would have been more impactful if the film had been shorter and had less melodrama, but it still leaves a lasting impression.
acting
Nana Patekar’s acting in ‘Vanvas’ is nothing less than extraordinary. He completely owns the character of Deepak Tyagi, bringing depth and authenticity to his eyes and voice. His portrayal of an elderly man who has lost his memory is powerful and his presence on screen is undoubtedly the film’s greatest strength. Utkarsh playing the role of Veeru performs well, although there are moments when his acting seems a bit forced. However, this can be attributed to the character he is playing. Rajpal Yadav does a good job but he is somewhat typecast in a role he has done many times before. Paritosh Tripathi, playing the character of a heartbroken son after losing his father’s house, is impressive. His portrayal of grief and suffering is one of the highlights of the film, and he has emerged as the second best actor after Nana Patekar. Simrat Kaur doesn’t have much to do in her character, while Rajesh Sharma has given a strong performance.
Direction
‘Vanvas’ is directed and written by Anil Sharma, who attempts to bring a heart-touching story on screen. While ‘Vanvas’ could have benefited from a more modern touch, less melodrama and a shorter runtime, the core message of the film has been communicated effectively. Anil Sharma succeeds in conveying the emotional core of the story, even if the film does not always feel contemporary.
final call
In conclusion, ‘Vanvas’ is a film that tells the importance of family. It may not be a product of the modern era, but in today’s time it reminds us of what we have lost. Watching it with your family can bring you closer to them and encourage you to cherish the bonds shared between you.
