The trailer and audio of the film was launched in a function at Oberon Mall in Kochi on 11 October 2014. The film released simultaneously in India as well as in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Australia, Canada, Japan and the United Arab Emirates, a first for a Malayalam film. Varsham released worldwide on 6 November 2014 in about 400 theaters. The soundtrack of the film was released on 11 October 2014 under the label Mathrubhumi Music. The lyrics were written by Santhosh Varma and M.R Jayageetha. Cast īijibal, who had earlier collaborated with Ranjith Sankar for all his films except Molly Aunty Rocks!, composed the soundtrack for the film. How he copes up with all these issues and tries to keep his social work in the name of his son alive forms the crux of the story. Using his finance company, Venu starts using innovative loan schemes at interests rates lower than that of the market to help people with healthcare, education and other such needs, which leads to him making enemies of his rivals. One night, after an argument with Anand on giving a worker 10000 rupees for building house, his son dies of a cardiac arrest and this leads him to see the world in a different perspective.
Like any father he imposes his dreams and aspirations on his son without realizing the effect it is having on him. His world is limited to only his son and wife. And if you thought that his chemistry with Anushka was super-good in Baahubali, you should watch this.The film narrates the story of Venu ( Mammootty) who is an affluent finance company owner but at the same time very much uses the usual croony tactics finance companies use to build their business. He stars alongside Anushka Shetty and Namitha in this action thriller and shares screen space with his uncle Krishnam Raju, too.īilla sees him mostly in bespoke suits, which instantly give him a different look. Just like Billa established Rajinikanth as a popular hero in the early 80s, this remake gave Prabhas a new fan base amongst the Telugu audience. The 1978 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Don has been remade in Tamil and Telugu a few times, and this is one of them.
Rajamouli scores big in the action scenes - the way he builds the tempo to achieve his vision is treat to watch. There are many whistle-worthy scenes featuring an excellent Prabhas. It’s a typical anti-establishment film in which a man from the crowd rises against dictatorship, and falls in love with the heroine, played by Shriya Saran. Here, Prabhas stars as a godfather who helps the masses by making sure they’re not taken advantage of. To this day, there are many people who prefer the latter for various reasons.
Chatrapathi (2005)īefore SS Rajamouli and Prabhas teamed up for the Baahubali films, the duo had already collaborated on Chatrapathi. Varsham was later remade into several languages, but the other versions, somehow, lacked the soul of the original. Composer Devi Sri Prasad’s ear-pleasing soundtrack - every song was a success, and poetically spoke about the love story between the leads (Trisha and Prabhas) - was a huge hit. With Varsham, his popularity skyrocketed and he was noticed by everybody in the Telugu-speaking regions.
Though he had starred in two other movies previously, they didn’t fetch him any stardom.
