Kalyan Ram and Vijayashanti starrer Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi has hit the silver screen today, April 18, drawing eager movie moviebuffs to their nearest theatres to watch the first-day first show. The highly anticipated Telugu action thriller revolves around the life of Vyjayanthi (Vijayashanti), a devoted police officer, and her son, Arjun (Kalyan Ram) whose lives take a dramatic turn when a mafia don disrupts Arjun’s life and aspirations.
Shortly after its release, social media platform X became a hub of audience reactions, revealing a spectrum of opinions. While some viewers have labelled the Kalyan Ram starrer as an ‘average watch,’ citing a familiar storyline, others have lauded specific aspects of the film.
Among them, the background score has garnered significant praise for its captivating quality throughout the movie. But the interval scene has been the highlight of the film for many viewers and a potential USP of the thriller.
A section of the audience has enthusiastically declared Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi a blockbuster film, particularly appreciating the climax sequence that reportedly elevated the movie to a new height altogether. However, some viewers found the storyline to be somewhat loosely constructed, pointing out quite a lot of loopholes in the narrative.
The emotional angle of the film, particularly the portrayal of the bond between mother and son, has resonated strongly with the audiences. As more reviews pour in, it remains to be seen how Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi will work at the box office and with critics in the coming days.
Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi: Fans Reactions
“#ArjunSonOfVyjayanthi. Another Disaster for #KalyanRam … He better only be a Producer…” a user commented.
Another said, “#ArjunSonOfVyjayanthi is a template commercial action film that has the same routine treatment we’ve seen in many movies till the climax portion. The film is watchable at times but the outdated and predictable screenplay hampers the flow. Music could’ve been better. Not a bad watch but the age old treatment caps the film at being just an ok watch. Rating: 2.5/5.”

“Blockbuster Bomma. Man of Masses and Global star Kalyan Ram is back. English version on high demand in Hollywood. Best emotional scenes, mass action, peak climax, excellent BGM score, Kalyanram come back. Jai NTR,” wrote a user.
BlockbusterAn account remarked that he is watching the film in an empty theatre, adding, “Just done with the first half of #ArjunSonOfVyjayanthi. Usual Formula or just an extended Janatha Garage concept. Works fine in places. Visuals and Music are decent though songs didn’t catch on. Camera work is patchy, and doesn’t look great with actors’ close up shots. Good to see Vijayashanthi in a cop role after a long time even though it’s for short screen time. Let’s see how the second half goes. P.S: Watching it in an empty theatre. Just show it to me.”
