There is a scene in Salaam Venky when Venky cries as if in excruciating physical pain and says, as he writhes, that not talking to his mother feels like dying. The reason is a quarrel with his mother, Sujatha, who refuses to entertain a conversation about his euthanasia to facilitate organ donation. This exchange gives us an insight into how close the mother and son are. Salaam Venky is guaranteed to dry your tear ducts; it will even squeeze a tear or two out of the unsentimental viewer. Actor-director Revathy’s film is about 24-year-old Venkatesh, his mother Sujatha, and their fight against a debilitating disease and a system which denies him euthanasia. Kajol is superlative as Sujatha, Venkatesh’s (Vishal Jethwa) mother who takes on the system on his behalf.Salaam Venky 2022 Movie Download.
The film is based on Shrikanth Murthy’s The Last Hurrah, inspired by the real-life story of chess player Kolavennu Venkatesh who, helped by his mother K Sujatha, petitioned for euthanasia so that he could donate his organs. Venkatesh suffered from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which causes muscle degeneration and eventually leads to death. He wanted to donate his organs while they were viable to be harvested.
The Venky of the film is a happy, Bollywood-loving, chess-playing youngster who has a film dialogue for every occasion. The first half, rather elaborately, introduces us to the characters and their dynamics. His equation with his doctor (Rajeev Khandelwal), nurse (Mala Parvathi), sister (Ridhi Kumar), sweetheart (Aneet Padda), and even spiritual guide (Ananth Mahadevan) are all explored… but does the audience need to know the arc of every relationship?
