Family Star, starring Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal Thakur, successfully targeted family audiences on its release day, with theaters filled with families enjoying the portrayal of family emotions and heroism. The film has garnered a commendable rating of 4.4 on Google Reviews and is swiftly filling up bookings in cities like Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, and Chennai, despite average critic ratings. Directed by Parasuram Petla, the movie showcases strong family bonding and the protagonist's dedication to his family.
The Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, fails to meet expectations as director Parasuram Petla's slow-paced narration, lack of emotional depth, and dearth of entertainment overshadow Deverakonda's credible performance and a promising interval twist. The film's lengthy runtime and cliched screenplay contribute to its overall lackluster impact, despite some engaging moments in the first half.
The movie "Family Star" starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur receives a 2/5 rating and a U/A censor rating. The film revolves around Govardhan, who struggles to manage his joint family due to issues with his older brother and the entry of wealthy entrepreneur Indu. While Vijay Deverakonda's performance is praised, the film's weak plot and conflicts, especially in the second half, receive criticism. The music, cinematography, and editing also fall short, leading to an overall lackluster experience.
The song "Idhe Idhe" from the movie "Hi Nanna" showcases the chemistry between lead actors Nani and Mrunal Thakur, along with Kiara Khanna who plays Nani's daughter. The song narrates the story of a responsible single father who finds relief when Mrunal Thakur's character takes care of his daughter. Composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab and written by Krishna Kanth, the song has a mesmerizing and haunting vibe. The movie, produced by Vyra Entertainments, is set to release tomorrow.

Aditya Roy Kapur and Mrunal Thakur's film, Gumraah, collected only Rs 1.25 crores on its second day, bringing the two-day total to Rs 2.35 crores nett. The low numbers are a cause for concern for the Bollywood film's box office performance.
Mrunal Thakur replied to a Twitter user who said he won't watch Gumraah as he had already seen the original Tamil film Thadam. She urged him to watch it for her and co-star Aditya Roy Kapur. Gumraah, a Hindi remake of Thadam, released on April 7 and features Thakur playing a police officer for the first time. The film had a poor opening day, earning only ₹1.10 crore domestically. The Hindustan Times review called it an overlong episode of a television show.
