Still from ‘Vidyapati’
Director Isham and Haseen Khan enjoy creating humor from desperate situations. Imagine a couple who cannot stand each other but one is locked inside a house due to an epidemic. it was Gratitude In 2021. Imagine an attractive, greedy, and lazy man who becomes a cornice overnight. he is Vidyapati For you in 2025.
The USP of the film is unlikely rivalry at its center. Siddu (Nagabusha), a small and cowardly person, should be rented for Jagagu (Garuda Ram), a frightened goon. Why? Siddu, who stoned his actor wife Vidya (a measured Malaika Vasupal) by portraying himself as a dream man, who is kind and macho in the same measurement, when one night is humiliated by the men of Jaggu. Siddu is helpless, his face is covered with shame. The marriage breaks down, and Siddu, who stays away from his wife, decreases to a homeless and poor person.
Comedy in Esham and Haseen’s films is physical. The hero is often a child trapped in a human body, which is La Mr. Bean. Siddu’s bizarre tasks and plans to become strong enough to face Jaggu will appeal to the children, who are deprived of watching clean comedy.

Runtime: 126 minutes
Story, Siddu is a free-loader that forms the basis in the world of his actor wife Vidya. What happens when he rubs a local goon wrongly? Will he show courage, take responsibilities and gain his wife’s confidence?
Said that, Vidyapati It takes time to find your drain. In the first half, there is a lack of briefness in the scenes. Prolonged stretch dilutes the effect of comedy. The writing of the film required more efficiency. The character of Vidya is almost completely sidelined, so that we are surprised about the state of mind after separating from Siddu.
The film comes in itself when its themes start popping up systematically. What happens when a man is brought to Earth to fly high on free money? He learns that nothing comes for free. What happens when a man has nothing to lose? He takes the risk of fighting for existence.
Nagabhusha kept the film together in his best performance till date. The irony is that the actor, who is known for comedic roles, struggles to find continuity in his time as a showy and self-centered person. Only when Siddu realizes its responsibilities, Nagbusha handles the change with fine confidence. It has a serious actor on full performance because he takes care of Siddu, who accepts his flaws and has handled his life.

Vidyapati Esham is far from a lazy attempt by Esham and Haseen. The action, especially inside a karate school, is clever. The training sequences of a rejuvenated Siddu are shot with music from dosomode which provides the necessary effects.
As a revenge drama, Vidyapati Reminds you of the beautiful of Dilish Pothan Maheshint PratikikramWhere the climatic shodown is snatched away from macho trops. Dhananjaya’s cameo reminds you Bhadi Tharaha From Pa Ranjith Sarpatt Parabarai, Which gives mental luck and strength to bear the pain in his disciple.
Vidyapati Provides something for everyone without overdose of subjects. It is successful in the release of summer for families, which yearn for simple entertainment.
Vidyapati is currently running in theaters
