Story:
Vijay(Nihal Rajput) works in his dad’s(Ananta Nag) printing press and takes it to the next level. But he is not happy with his personal growth and starts a transport business. He faces so many issues in this process and goes to the next level. In his journey, he takes up politics, and even starts a newspaper taking on the who’s who in the business. How he achieved so much in life is the story of the film.
Plus Points:
The film is based on the owner of India’s biggest logistics company VRL PVT Ltd. Nihal Rajput plays Vijay Sankeswar and he is good in the initial parts of the film. The best role is of Ananta Nag, the senior actor who is very good in the film. He has the best scenes and does well in his mature role.
Prakash Belawadi, who plays the newspaper owner was good in his role. Kannada star Ravichandran sizzled in a small but key role and he too was good. The second half has decent drama and the journey of Vijay Sankeswar was showcased in a decent manner. The production design of the film is quite good.
Minus Points: an interesting start, the film becomes a documentary kind of a movie. As the director wastes too much time on the initial phases, the key aspects of Vijay Sankeswar’s political journey, his tryst with the media barons, all this is not highlighted properly.
Over All : On the whole, Vijayanand is the biopic of Karnataka’s biggest businessman Vijay Sankeshwar. While his life is showcased in detail, the drama and emotions needed for a cinematic viewing are missing. As the biopic on whom the film is made is popular in Kannada, the people there might like it.
