Kushi Reviews

Even during its most dramatic moments, Kushi is never melodramatic, making it Shiva Nirvana's most controlled and mellow film yet. And what the film does with its climax is delightful.

Full Review | Sep 11, 2023

It could have been a timely ode to love across differences. Instead, it is just another love story that banks on the lead actors, the music and the technical finesse for salvation.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 8, 2023

Kushi is a breezy, feel-good film for the most part, ably aided by Hesham Abdul Wahab’s music.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2023

The music is honestly the only redeeming factor in this film that is ridden with too many ideas.

Kushi movie review and release Highlights: Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu film opens to mixed reviews

Kushi movie release and review live updates: a lot is riding on the shiva nirvana directorial kushi as both vijay deverakonda and samantha ruth prabhu's recent films have not fared well..

Telugu film Kushi, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sachin Khedekar, Saranya Ponvannan, and Murali Sharma among others, has hit screens worldwide today. A lot is riding on the Shiva Nirvana directorial as both Vijay and Samantha’s recent films have not fared well. While Vijay was last seen in the box office turkey Liger, Samantha’s Shaakuntalam failed to find many takers.

When asked if Kushi’s performance at the box office will be a deciding factor for Vijay and Samantha, film trade analyst Ramesh Bala, “I don’t think it will affect their career as both have a good body of work. But it is a crucial film indeed after their respective flops.”

Trade analyst Deepak, who is based out of Hyderabad , added, “I don’t think what is an actor’s last film matters anymore. People have changed a lot now. It comes down to the content of the film, the packaging and the overall appeal.”

Vijay Deverakonda recently addressed the poor box office performance of his recent films. Vijay said that every script he chose was ‘terrifc’, but it was the execution of the same which faltered.

The actor told Cinema Express, “I know people won’t accept this statement, but honestly, I believe every script that I’ve chosen was terrific. It was the execution that didn’t go as planned. For instance, an inside joke between friends wouldn’t translate well to others if the delivery and timing weren’t on point. That’s exactly what happened with films like Liger, NOTA, and even Dear Comrade.”

Kushi marks the first collaboration of Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Talking about his Kushi co-star Samantha during a Q&A session, Vijay said, "Samantha is intelligent. When Shiva and I discuss the movie, she contributes great ideas. We share many similarities. We come from middle-class families, so we have similar perspectives on money and life. Additionally, we both have a passion for history. Samantha is religious, and I have questions about spirituality. Working with Samantha was a delight."

‘Kushi’ Review: Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha’s middling rom-com is confusing

Director shiva nirvana’s ‘kushi’, starring vijay deverakonda and samantha, is a romantic comedy based on relationship woes. the film is confusing in its messaging, says our review..

Listen to Story

• 'Kushi' released in theatres on September 1.
• Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu play lead roles in the film.
• The film is directed by Shiva Nirvana.

Release Date: 1 Sep, 2023

Thousands of romantic comedies may come and go, but the audience will always have a soft corner for films of the same ilk. Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha tasted massive success in the past by attempting rom-coms. Now, the two stars are getting back to the familiar ground after big flops, respectively. Has ‘Kushi’ worked in their favour? Let’s find out!

Viplav (Vijay Deverakonda), who works in a government telephone exchange, is born to an atheist father, Lenin Sathya (Sachin Khedekar), and a theist mother (Saranya Ponvannan). Aradhya (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), works in the corporate sector and hails from an orthodox Brahmin family. It is love at first sight for Viplav when he bumps into Aradhya in Kashmir. He relentlessly pursues Aradhya, which is borderline stalking and harassment. But, let’s come to that later!

When Aradhya is convinced about him, he gets to know about her religion and her family’s preferences. Both parents do not agree on their wedding, which pushes them to get married and live separately. After several happy months, relationship woes plague their relationship. How their religious preferences affect their relationship and how they come out of it forms the story.

Director Shiva Nirvana has created a brand for himself by doing back-to-back romantic films. ‘Kushi’ is no different from his previous ventures. The film deals with a sensitive subject, i.e., religion. The film shows the troubles that crop up between newly-married couples who have different preferences. The concept of one sacrificing for the other and who has sacrificed the most creeps in. ‘Kushi’ shows how Viplav and Aradhya fall into the same trap.

The film is confusing in its messaging. In fact, it looks like Shiva Nirvana is confused about whether to show a progressive or regressive love story. In one scene, we hear Viplav calling himself a feminist, but he goes around relentlessly pursuing her without her consent. Similarly, Aradhya shows herself as a self-made woman but wants to wait for her guy to be her saviour.

On the contrary, ‘Kushi’ also has a solid message about people having different religious preferences yet co-existing in peace. There are some stretches in ‘Kushi’ that show some brilliance. It addresses how society puts pressure on newly-married couples to have a baby. Shiva Nirvana also does total justice to showing how couples, these days, take the easy way out when troubles come up. Vijay Deverakonda goes into ‘Geetha Govindam’ mode and perfectly portrays the boy-next-door role with ease. Samantha, too, aces this role with equal grace. But, it is Zoya and Thomas (Rohini and Jayaram), who play the roles of their neighbours that make this rom-com special. Zoya and Thomas’ love story had so much potential to be developed into a full-fledged story. But, they become pawns in Shiva Nirvana’s world. And, there's a call back to 'Arjun Reddy', which left everyone in splits.

That said, ‘Kushi’ barely scratches the surface and it’s the few stretches of brilliance that make this film a watchable affair. If ‘Kushi’ is breezy and feel-good, the main credit should go to Hesham Abdul Wahab’s soul-stirring music.

Director Murali G’s cinematography showed Kashmir and Hyderabad (Chennai in Tamil version) in full glory. The Tamil dubbing, however, watered down the film’s experience.

Kushi movie.

Mythri Movie Makers’ Kushi is a romantic comedy that traces the journey of a newly married couple trying to navigate the trials and tribulations of a marriage.

Bombay-based Viplav (Vijay Deverakonda) is the son of Lenin Satyam (Sachin Khedekar) and Rajalakshmi (Saranya Ponvannan), and the father-son duo are atheists. Viplav falls ...  head over heels in love with Aradhya (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) when they meet in Kashmir. Aradhya, on the other hand, lives in Pune with dad Sakharam Maharaj (Murali Sharma), grandmother (Lakshmi) as well as her sister and brother-in-law. Although both the families are happy with the choice of their children, there’s a problem. Sakharam Maharaj, who is a firm believer in God and horoscopes, feels that Viplav and Aradhya should perform a havan to stay happy in their married life but Viplav and his dad refuse because of their beliefs.

Despite many attempts, the couple fail to get their fathers on the same page, leading to them eloping. Life goes on smoothly till Aradhya gets pregnant with their first child but has a miscarriage. Now, Aradhya is convinced that the miscarriage happened because they avoided the havan and constantly requests Viplav to perform the havan. However, he stays adamant which slowly leads to friction and it starts affecting their marriage. After a major fallout, Aradhya returns to her parental home. A distraught Vilpav decides to bring her back, but her father continues to insist on the havan, leaving the couple in a dilemma.
