Plus Points (+)
Many people think that 29 is the story of Sathya, a single and unemployed man who is confused regarding his career and then God sending Vijayalakshmi in his life to help him, but the movie 29 does not run on a flat road; it is a roller-coaster that goes up and down. The best thing about this movie is its unpredictable plot, meaning you cannot predict what's happening next.
First half is the mixture of drama, romance, and comedy where Vidhu and Preethi Asrani's performances are next level, while the second half is the combination of drama, suspense, and romance, where the cinematography of Madhesh Manickam and Sean Roldan's background music is the biggest asset of the movie.
Overall 29 is a romantic drama movie that you can watch with your friends and family, and if you're new in a relationship, I recommend this movie to you because there are many scenes, especially in the second half, where small misunderstandings can break your trust in your partner, and the core message of this movie is understanding and caring.
After playing many supporting roles in Retro (2025), Jigarthanda DoubleX (2023), and more movies, now it is the first time Vidhu appears in a lead role in 29 movies, where he is playing Sathya, a short-tempered and emotionally unstable person. In the first half, he becomes the center of attraction through his dialogue delivery. In the second half, many scenes are coming where his performance is like you are watching the movie Arjun Reddy (2017).
Minus Points (-)
Director Rathna Kumar once again proves that love romantic drama movie hits the audience fast compared to action and biopic movies, where the first is the mixture of romance and drama, which is more engaging and interesting.
