Vishwanath and Sons faces OTT trolling amid comparisons with Bethlehem Kudumba Unit.Vishwanath and Sons and Bethlehem Kudumba Unit

Suriya’s Vishwanath and Sons directed by Venky Atluri, was released in theatres on August 14th and ended up as a commercial success. Following its successful theatrical run, it started streaming on the Netflix OTT platform on September 11th.

Since the film connected well with the general theatrical audience and became a commercial success, many people believed that Vishwanath and Sons would also become a huge success on OTT and achieve a Pan-Indian reach.

However, shockingly, Vishwanath and Sons is receiving below-average responses from OTT audiences and many people are trolling some emotional sequences in the film, claiming they feel artificial.

In this scenario, since both Vishwanath and Sons and the recent blockbuster Bethlehem Kudumba Unit deal with age-gap relationships, some netizens are comparing them and declaring Girish AD the winner of this clash.

They note that Venky Atluri included layers such as surrogacy, a rare bone marrow disease, a mother’s death, an extramarital affair, and a father’s second family and child to deliver a below-average feel good age gap relationship film, Vishwanath and Sons.

Whereas, with just an old cassette player and a neighborhood, Girish AD delivered one of the finest age-gap relationship films and Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has emerged as an industry hit.

Hence, by pointing this out, they suggest that Venky Atluri tried too hard by adding multiple layers in Vishwanath and Sons to create emotion, while Girish AD achieved it effortlessly in BKU. Therefore, they feel that sometimes being simple and subtle feels much more natural.

Ever since Vishwanath and Sons started streaming on Netflix, social media has been flooded with discussions and trolls targeting the film, and this comparison is just one among them.
