Young hero Kiran Abbavaram’s Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha, which hit theatres on 18 February 2023, is bankrolled by Allu Aravind’s Geetha Arts 2 banner.
Though it managed to attract some good pre-release buzz, is it worth the hype? Well, let’s dive straight into it.

Vishnu (Kiran Abbavaram) is a good Samaritan who works as a librarian in Hyderabad. He hails from Tirupati and goes above and beyond to help people in need.
On the other side is Darshana (Kashmira Pardeshi), a budding YouTuber. She gets in touch with Vishnu, who happens to be her mobile number neighbour.
Wonder what a “mobile number neighbour” is?
A number neighbor is someone who has the same mobile number as you, except the last digit is one lower or higher.
Vishnu and Darshana meet and their lives take many interesting turns, and they soon get into serious trouble.
The story of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha takes you through the problems faced by this young couple, how veterinarian and dog lover Sharma (Murali Sharma) is responsible for their difficulties, and how they successfully emerge from the crisis.

The story line of this comedy and suspense entertainer starts off well by packaging the protagonist as a do-gooder, highlighting the importance of helping each other.
But it eventually shifts to an entirely different scenario with the inclusion of terrorism and patriotism.
It leaves the audience wondering where the story is heading and, more importantly, what the director — Murali Kishor Abburu —
wanted to convey.
There are many loose ends and unrealistic moments.

As the movie title suggests, Kiran Abbavaram, who plays Vishnu, is the hero of the film and gets maximum screen time. He has done a decent job in both comedic and emotional scenes.
But it is Murali Sharma who takes the trophy. He has been given a very good role with diverse shades, and needless to say, he pulls it off with ease.
Kashmira Pardeshi is adequate as the female lead. Character artists like Pammi Sai, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Praveen, Amani, and others play supporting roles.
Dissecting the technical crafts, music director Chaitan Bharadwaj has put together some good songs and a good background score.
The cinematography by Daniel Viswas is fine. Marthand K Venkatesh was the senior editor on set. He should have made the movie more compact and believable with his intervention.
Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha is entertaining but filled with many unrealistic and superficial elements. It’s a time-pass watch if you can put aside your thinking hat.
