Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 'Kushi' Gets Positive Reception From Early Shows

Hyderabad, September 1 - Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who both had forgettable las outings in the form of "Liger" and "Shaakuntlam" respectively, seem to have back in the game with their maiden collaboration together as a lead pair, Kushi.

The romantic-comedy drama film, directed by Shiva Nirvana, has been released in cinemas worldwide today (September 1), and unlike both VD and Samantha's last movies, "Kushi" is getting positive reception from the audiences in the early shows.



Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, "Kushi" is being lauded as a fresh rom-com after a gap in Tollywood cinema. The chemistry of VD and Samantha seem to have worked wonders while the direction by Shiva Nirvana is also good with some minor glitches, as per reviews.

Have a look at some of the reviews from USA premiere and early shows -

#Kushi Overall A Clean Rom-Com that is simple yet entertaining for the most part!

Though the film has a regular story and feels lengthy at times, the entertainment in the film works and the emotional quotient in the last 30 minutes works well. Barring a few hiccups here and…

Thyview Rating : 2.75/5#Kushi straddles the line between potential and execution. The initial segment languishes in tepid romantic tropes, struggling to find its wings until the melodies of the second song beckon the plot forward. The latter half, while superior, still…

#Kushi (Telugu|2023) - THEATRE.

VD - Sam Pair look nice, Neat Perf. Supporting actors gud. Songs r superb. Humour scenes r ok. Outdated Story & Cliched Scenes. Lazy Writing; Lacks Emotions. No Strong conflict in 2nd hlf. Gud Climax. Lengthy, Entertaining only at parts. AVERAGE! pic.twitter.com/gxJHTAfJy9

⭐⭐⭐
A story filled with Love, Love and Love. @TheDeverakonda and @Samanthaprabhu2 were just amazing as Viplav and Aaradhyaa, with well-balanced family emotions and amazing visuals of Kashmir beauty. It would be even better with a few tweaks.#KushiOnSep1st #Kushireview

#Kushi was a good watch for me 😁

The film had a good drama quotient with good performances from #VijayDeverakonda & #SamanthaRuthPrabhu & a brilliant music work 😀

The film has some pacing issues but overall works 👍#Kushireview #VijayDevarakonda #Samantha #ShivaNirvana pic.twitter.com/nvk8oFzg4M
