Varisu (2023)
Varisu is streaming in the UAE on Amazon Prime Video, Sun Nxt, STARZPLAY.
The verdict
Varisu has landed badly with viewers, and the numbers back that up. It holds a 5.0/10 on TMDB from 67 ratings, short of where most viewers set the bar. At 169 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Amazon Prime Video, Sun Nxt, STARZPLAY.
Should you spend 2h 49m on it?
2h 49m of Tamil action with an adventure streak. Past two and a half hours, it needs a proper evening rather than a weeknight.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating is resting on 67 votes so far
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 49m
- Why
- 5.0/10 across 67 ratings — audiences haven't taken to it, so go in curious rather than expectant.
- Skip if
- you don't have a clear three hours
- Best for
- A free weekend evening
