Sree Vishnu is known for picking unique concepts that bring a certain freshness to the proceedings. The actor’s other releases this year Gaali Sampath and Raja Raja Chora both had unique storytelling and impressive presentations. While these films didn’t set the box-office on fire, Sree Vishnu now has placed high hopes on Arjuna Phalguna. Will the talented actor succeed this time? Lets find out
Story: Arjuna Phalguna follows the story of Sre Vishnu (Arjuna) who along with his friends leads an ordinary life. The bunch of unemployed friends decided to set up a Soda center and are in need of money for the same. In order to procure the money the group undertakes certain illegal ways and are caught in a web of troubles. What happens next and how this decision turns their lives upside down is what the story follows.
Performances: To simply put, there is no noteworthy performance in the film barring that of Sree Vishnu. The actor plays the role of an unemployed youth quite convincingly. Sree Vishnu has played this character multiple times in his career and there is nothing new to showcase for him. The rest of the star cast are mere fillers in the film. The writing and music let the movie down and make the entire presentation predictable as well as dull. The movie’s production values are the only noteworthy technical aspect in the whole.
Analysis: Arjuna Phalguna is a run-of-the-mill story showcasing the challenges of a bunch of youngsters. The movie is filled with forced comedy scenes and cliched subplots that do not work well at all. Sree Vishnu alone has to shoulder the responsibility of the movie. However, with the film lacking direction and sense as a whole, it is impossible for the actor to save the film.
Plus Points:
- Sree Vishnu
- Production Values
Minus Points:
- Forced Comedy
- Forced Emotional Scenes
- Pointless Plot
- Dull Screenplay
Verdict: Sree Vishnu needs to be careful with his script selection and definitely must stay away from run-of-the-mill plots like Arjuna Phalguna. The film lacks any engaging factor and drains the viewers out of attention fast. It would have been a wise decision to release the film directly on OTT. Arjuna Phalguna continues Sree Vishnu’s drought for success in 2021 as well.
