The Vvaan X Review

Those who watched the early shows are praising Vvaan. The Chhath Puja sequence has emerged as one of its biggest talking points. For the first time, Chhath Puja gets a major focus in a Hindi film. Early reactions call the treatment fresh, powerful and engaging.

What Works In Vvaan Movie?

The Bihar setting and the use of Chhath Puja, local traditions and faith have received a positive response. The film's connection with the region also appears to be working well with audiences.

The film is mounted on a large scale. Its fantasy elements and visual treatment are designed for the big screen.

The Vvaan also explores the line between belief and reality. It mixes devotional themes with a mainstream fantasy-adventure story.

What Doesn't Work?

Sidharth Malhotra's Rishi has not worked for everyone. Some viewers feel he does not fully fit a character who is supposed to belong to the Bihar setting.

Tamannaah Bhatia's role is another weak point. She has little to do beyond supporting the main story.

Sunil Grover plays the antagonist. However, his comic image appears to work against the character. While he puts in an honest effort, some viewers have found it difficult to take his action scenes seriously.

Final Verdict

Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, The Vvaan: Force of the Forest is being described as a refreshing change from routine Hindi cinema.

The film's fast-paced fantasy-thriller treatment is getting praise. Its use of Chhath Puja and Bihar's cultural traditions has also struck a chord with those who caughter early shows viewers.
