Top Reviewers:
TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.25/5):
When writers become directors, the script would be perfect with a gripping screenplay. The conflict points would be strong enough. Parasuram failed badly and completely with Family Star. The dialogues are good at times. The visuals are quite good and the film looks rich in every frame. The songs fail to make an impact. Gopi Sundar fails badly with the numbers. Family Star is a film that fails in many ways.
Great Andhra (Rating: 2/5):
Family Star falls short of expectations, lacking the charm and magic of Parasuram’s earlier success, “Geetha Govindam.” Despite attempts to recreate some of that magic, particularly in certain scenes, the film comes across as artificial and unconvincing. Even the performances of Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal Thakur fail to salvage Family Star, which ultimately sinks as a disappointing endeavor.
Mirchi9 (Rating: 2/5):
Overall, ‘Family Star’ has a passable first half but suffers greatly due to the director’s lack of clarity on the story and the dead weak conflicts he tried to build the drama on.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.75/5):
On the whole, The Family Star entertains to a certain extent. Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur deliver fine performances. However, the film’s slow-paced screenplay, lack of emotional depth, ineffective background score, and weak storyline are the notable drawbacks. If you can overlook these aspects, it may still be worth a watch this weekend.
Times Of India (Rating: 2.5/5):
However, “Family Star” is more than just a love story. The film explores the difficulties of relationships inside a middle-class Indian household. Govardhan, with his dreams of glory, must traverse a web of trust, ego, and familial relationships. This sympathetic topic gives substance to the plot, elevating it beyond a fun rom-com.
