Just a week before its theatrical release, the makers of Vijay Devarakonda’s upcoming film ‘Family Star’ unveiled the trailer today morning and it suggests that the film is nothing but a blend of family drama and romance with director Parasuram’s signature style of entertainment.
Playing out at two and a half minutes, the trailer fleshes out the character dynamics of the lead pair and other important artists in the story. Vijay Devarakonda is a simple and practical man who leads a peaceful life with his family. Mrunal Thakur is a jovial and carefree girl who loves to spend time with people around her. When she falls for Vijay, the story takes a dramatic shift from its pleasant tone to seriousness.
The initial portions of the trailer are funny and heartwarming with family episodes and chemistry between the lead pair. But, the latter half involves a lot of drama and emotion set in the backdrop of the USA. Despite the tonal shift, the entertainment continues to be the driving factor for the story.
Parasuram’s forte lies in the way he designs the character arcs of the lead pair for his stories. Family Star seems to be no exception because he seemed to have once penned crowd-pleasing dynamics for both Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal. He also penned impressive and appealing dialogues which is another asset for the film.
Vijay Devarakonda charms as a family man and also a lover boy. His mannerisms and body language are quite amazing as he balances different moods superbly. Mrunal Thakur complements him to the fullest with her gorgeous screen presence and lovely performance as a girl-next-door. Their chemistry is going to be the USP for the film.
Vennela Kishore is likely to augment the fun factor when the story shifts to the USA. Jagapathi Babu gets a meaty serious character in the film.
Gopi Sundar renders a soothing background score that suits the setting of the trailer perfectly. The production values are very nice.
Overall, the trailer of Family Star is a perfect mix of romance, drama and comedy with a familial set-up. It hits the right notes ahead of the film’s release on April 5th.
