It is widely known that Vijay Deverakonda and Parasuram’s family entertainer, Family Star was released in theaters this summer and received a disappointing response. Before this film, Geetha Govindam, which came in the same actor-director combination, achieved great success, leading to high anticipation for their next project. However, the family drama ultimately did not meet the high expectations set by their previous blockbuster.
Family Star is all set to make its world television debut on 16th June (Sunday) at 6 PM on Star Maa. Following its underwhelming performance in cinemas, the producers have decided to release it early on Prime Video. The film, starring Mrunal Thakur as the female lead, also features Jagapathi Babu, Vasuki, Abhinaya, Divyansha Kaushik, and Vennela Kishore in important roles. Produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, with music by Gopi Sundar, the movie’s television debut is eagerly awaited, promising a fresh viewing experience for the audience.
The film has faced criticism, including trolling for a particular scene, yet it has managed to secure the top position on the OTT platform. It even trended as the number-one movie on Amazon Prime Video. This success indicates that the film’s content has resonated with family audiences who appreciated the middle-class setting and scenes in the first half. While some of the younger audience enjoyed the foreign tour in the latter half, the majority found delight in the interactions of Govardhan and his family, portrayed by Vijay Deverakonda. Viewers on OTT platforms particularly admire the humorous moments shared between the Hero and his grandmother. It will be interesting to see if Family Star can capture the attention of viewers on the small screen.
