In WION's review, Pargati Awasthi writes, "With the amount of money invested in the film, the camera work and production design make the movie look grand and visually polished, whether it’s the tiger sequences or the ghost portions. The scale is evident on screen, and technically, the film creates moments of spectacle that briefly lift the otherwise wafer-thin narrative. In the first half, the combination of mythology with folklore genuinely excites the curious viewer. But soon, as the layers of the story start to unravel, all that remains is melodrama. Malhotra truly carries the film with his performance and does everything he possibly could for it, and so do the other actors. Tamannaah brings her charm, but her role in limited."
It further concludes, "In brief, Vvaan is a very Ekta Kapoor's Tulsi Virani world, in which Sidharth has made his debut as the divine hero, and he can't save this film with his looks."
About The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest
The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest is a fantasy folklore thriller that was released in theatres on September 25 (Friday). Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra as Rishi and Tamannaah Bhatia as Mamta. Backed by Ekta Kapoor, the film received mixed reviews overall but earned immense love and respect for bringing a traditional Chhath Puja sequence to the Bollywood big screen for the first time in history.
The story follows Rishi, a rationalist civil engineer living in Mumbai, who returns to his ancestral village of Devanchal in Bihar with his wife, Mamta, and vlogger friend, Ved (Maniesh Paul), during Chhath Puja.
