Vimanam 2023 Movie Analysis:
‘Vimanam’ has a good story and more than that it has tear-jerking emotional scenes. However, the narrative that makes the story connect to the audience is lacking. There are few characters in the movie. The crisper the scenes…the faster the screenplay…the more connected the audience is as the story moves forward with limited characters. He gets absorbed in the story. Director Siva Prasad Yanala has struggled to steer the film with a well-rounded narrative.
At the beginning of ‘Vimanam’, the director took a lot of time to explore the connection between the father and the sons and the people of the town. The scenes between Anasuya and Rahul Ramakrishna are good. However, it would have been better if it was carried forward as part of the story. But… it would have been better to avoid the scene at Rahul Ramakrishna’s house. In an emotional story, that scene hits like a stone under the tooth. The scenes in the school show the innocence of the children and make us laugh.
The audience gets an idea of what the climax will be like near the interval. Hence, the article is not of much interest. However, another twist was given in the climax that no one expected from the audience. The emotional scenes in between are impressive. The journey of father and son is heart-touching. Charan Arjun’s vocals, lyrics… production values are good.
Vimanam Movie Actors Performance:
Samudrakhani did justice to the father’s role. The innocence in Master Dhruvan’s performance is impressive. Especially the emotional scenes between the two are impressive. Audiences in theaters also become emotional.

But… Anasuya is another actress who will be remembered by the audience (especially the mass centers) after coming out of the theatre. She exuded the romantic essence required for the role of a courtesan, Sumathi. The emotional scene before the climax was done better. Rahul Ramakrishna and Dhanraj acted easily in their roles. Meera Jasmin’s portrayal of the air hostess brought a sense of sophistication.
Finally what? : The ‘plane’ took some time to take off. There is a feeling of being on the runway till the interval. Even if there are some entertaining scenes in between, the story does not move forward for a long time. After the interval, the journey fell into a groove. The plane landed perfectly. Don’t miss the ending! Climax is more connecting especially for parents. Finally… it’s a heart-touching ‘vimanam’!
PS: If you want to watch the movie whether it’s in theaters or OTT, don’t read spoilers on social media. If you know the ending point (twist)… you won’t have that feeling while watching it on the screen.
