Finally, the wait is over as Vijay Deverakonda‘s latest film, Family Star, graces the big screens. Fans eagerly waited for their chance to witness the show. On the other hand, netizens have taken to social media to share their initial experiences after watching the film. Let’s delve into the article to see how the audience is reacting.
Directed by Parasuram, Family Star has been brought to the audience under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations. In addition to Vijay, the movie’s ensemble cast includes Mrunal Thakur, Victoria Grace, Marissa Rose, and others in supporting roles.
Despite fans comparing the movie to a TV serial, producer Dil Raju addressed this comparison at a pre-release event.
Comparing it to a 2017 movie, he stated, “When the film was released, many compared it to a TV serial. But Shatamanam Bhavati made great numbers at the box office thanks to the family audience. The same will happen with Family Star and I know for a fact that the film will open to a mixed response.”
Family Star Twitter reviews explored
While comparing the film with a TV serial, one netizen expressed his disappointment on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I love the vd but this film is just horrible then tv serial.”
In contrast, another user provided a positive review, rating the film 4/5, and wrote, “#FamilyStar Review: The first part of the film is enjoyable and has a strong commercial vibe. The second half picks up more of a playful tone. Emotion connects well with the audience. Second Half > First Half. Impressive performance by Rowdy @TheDeverakonda & @mrunal0801 Overall Rating 4/5 BLOCKBUSTER.”

Another user briefly emphasized and wrote, “#FamilyStar is an inferior template rom-com family movie that has a few time-pass moments but no real emotional connection nor feel-good moments. The first half is underwhelming and feels like a serial until the pre-interval. The second half starts on a more fun note but quickly turns uninteresting and preachy. Music is very ineffective. The blockbuster combo of GG disappoints. Below Par!.”
Considering their mixed response, it remains to be seen how much the movie will earn on its opening day. Stay tuned for more updates regarding Family Star.
