As a filmmaker, Revathi has once again come up with a deep and heart-touching story. Salaam Venky is inspired by the true story of young chess player Kolavennu Venkatesh, whose story is still etched in people's minds. Despite this, this film not only keeps you engaged from beginning to end but also makes you emotional. Which is Revathi's success as a director. Along with direction, Kajol and Vishal Jethwa's heart-winning performance is also the specialty of this film. Apart from making you emotional, this film which teaches the philosophy of life should not be long, but also leaves the question in your mind that what is the life of our country? Should the law now allow euthanasia or not?

The story revolves around Sujata (Kajol) and her son Venky (Vishal Jethwa). Venky is fighting a battle with muscular dystrophy. In which his body parts are stopping working one after the other. He is fighting to the death to get each and every breath. Venky does not want to die, wants to live, but for this he will have to die before his death by becoming his heart in someone else's body. He demands euthanasia from the government so that he can save the lives of others by donating his organs, but it is not easy, because the law of our country allows it. Where is Venky's mother also weak? She knocks the door of the court to fulfill this last dream of her son. Will she be able to fulfill her son's dream?

Revathi has beautifully portrayed the pain of a son and the attachment of a mother to him on celluloid. As soon as the film starts, you get involved in the world of Sujatha and Venky. Begin to feel their pain and helpless condition. When Venky tells that after death he would like to go to the other world and feel his feet on the earth. He wants to carry the weight of his entire body on himself.

Listening to his words, one feels that just walking on one's own feet is such a big and special thing. In recent years, in several films one after the other, mockery was made of the working methods of the media. In this film, after a long time, the social concern and responsible image of the media has been added to the story.

The story of the film is true. This film is based on Shrikant's novel Last Hurray. In the story of the film, there was a need to show Sujata's struggle in some detail. Medical expenses are very high in our country, so as a single parent, how did he continue to get his son treated. Court room debate can be made more interesting. The film is made in today's time, so in countries where euthanasia is not a legal crime. It could have been mentioned in the debate.

Cinematography does complete justice to the story of the film. The dialogues of the film have become good. Sometimes he lightens the mood of the film. The songs and music of the film are in accordance with the story.

Talking about acting, there are many special names associated with acting in this film. A seasoned artist is seen in almost every frame of the film, be it Aamir Khan, Rahul Bose, Anant Mahadevan, Rajeev Khandelwal, Aahana Kumra and Priyamani. Everyone has done justice to their respective characters, but this film is basically the story of Kajol and Vishal Jethwa. Both have given strength to the film with their strong acting. Both have lived the pain and courage associated with their characters in every aspect. Special praise has to be given to Vishal Jethwa, because he had to act with his face. He has described both happiness and pain in a single expression. He is a great artist. Once again he has proved it.

This emotional true story touches the heart and makes the eyes moist. Which should be seen.
