About Vikaasaparva
Directed by Anbu Aras, Vikaasaparva delves into the complex relationship between friendship and addiction.
The film revolves around four friends - Vicky (Rohith Nagesh), Pradeep (Ashwin Haasan) and their companions, who live a carefree lifestyle.
Vikaasaparva takes a turn as Pradeep’s growing alcohol addiction starts affecting his relationship with his wife Niharika (Nishitha Gowda). Despite her repeated pleas for him to spend more time at home, Pradeep's priorities remain elsewhere, which depicts a harsh light on the toll of addiction on personal relationships. What follows next is the destructive impact of addiction on relationships in detail.
Analysis
The film starkly portrays the devastating consequences of addiction and the refusal to seek help.
Niharika’s character evolves from a supportive wife to a figure of contention, with her insistence on rehabilitation raising questions about the timing and necessity of such interventions.
The film challenges viewers to consider whether her actions were too little, too late or if she was simply caught in an unwinnable battle against her husband's addiction.
Meanwhile, Vicky, one of Pradeep's closest friends, embodies the common rationalisation surrounding addiction.
His initial belief that people who drink are not fools reflects a dangerous denial. It is only after the loss of his friend that Vicky has a painful realisation that family should have come before alcohol.
While the film offers a revealing look at addiction's destructive impact, its documentary-style approach sometimes leaves gaps in the narrative, making it feel more like a public service announcement than a fully realised story.
Final take
Despite its shortcomings, Vikaasaparva manages to deliver a powerful message about the need for timely intervention and compassion in the face of addiction.
