The review also reads, “#ShajiKailas delivers one of his oldest works, relying on old film making that feels out of touch with today’s audience. The action is noisy, the story is old, and not a single new idea is seen. Even the performances from #JojuGeorge and the disappointing Murali Gopy can’t save it.

Signature Shaji Kailas style and make. Nice action choreography. Visuals are refreshing. Mass Avatar of JoJu George. Murali Gopi is Nice and mean. 90s Style Simple Revenge story. I need a Strong Second Half.” Great.”
Several reviews criticize the visuals
Another detailed review on“The review added, “#JojuGeorge delivers with his signature visuals and acting, but beyond that, the film offers very little to keep audiences engaged. A weak plot, a meager display, and a predictable story keep Varavu from getting caught. With little imagination and no real payoff, Varavu turned out to be a forgettable film that is easy to skip. “Another viewer wrote, “#Varavu ~ A classic revenge drama with a predictable and dull script. Joju George and Murali Gopy give committed performances, but they can’t save a film that feels out of touch with the culture of filmmaking from decades past. The action is high instead of purposeful, and the story doesn’t offer anything new. Total burn!”
