Suriya's latest film Vishwanath And Sons, directed by Venky Atluri, released on August 14 to mixed reviews. The family drama follows Sanjay Vishwanath, a wealthy businessman and Olympic shooter who avoids marriage but has a child through surrogacy. When the baby needs a bone marrow donor, surrogate mother Maddy (Mamitha Baiju) enters his life and falls in love with him despite a twenty-year age gap. Critics broadly agree the first half is breezy and charming, with strong performances from Suriya, Mamitha Baiju and Radhika Sarathkumar. The second half draws criticism for formulaic writing and predictable family drama. Ratings range from 2.75/5 to 3.5/5 and 3/6. Suriya's composed performance and Mamitha's energetic screen presence are praised, while GV Prakash Kumar's music is found adequate but unmemorable. The film's handling of surrogacy and age-gap romance is noted as tasteful, though some reviewers find the climax open-ended and the Ooty portions stretched.
