Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur’s “Family Star” gets mixed reaction. While some fans praise the pair’s chemistry, some say the film offers “zero emotional” connection. The Parasuram Petla helmed film released today and was highly anticipated to bring in magic on screen when Deverakonda and Petla joined hands for Geetha Govindam in 2018. However, critics said the film lacks emotional depth.
Internet is divided over those who calls the movie a blockbuster and among those who calls it a worse movie so far.
One of the X users said, everyone did their best in the film and it is a blockbuster.
Blockbuster 🔥🔥🔥

When a user named Leo Dass gave a 3.5 rating out of 5, and said that “emotions works beautifully”, another user said the emotional connection was zero in the film and it is “Cringe worthy”.

Highly outdated 80s style of story & Mega Boring narration with Silly Scenes. VD-Mrunal No Chemistry. 2 Songs, Interval block & couple of fun scenes r gud in this close to 3Hrs running lengthy film. 0 Emotional Connect. Cringe Worthy. WORST! pic.twitter.com/MStzCkfheI
