New Delhi: With a new love story, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda are back on screen together. The actors' most recent film, 'Kushi', had a fantastic opening weekend in theatres on Friday. According to first estimates released by Sacnilk.com, the Tamil movie opened at a whopping Rs 16 crore in all languages. 

Sacnilk.com reports that the Tamil version of the movie only had a 40.12 percent overall occupancy, compared to the Telugu version's 59.13 percent. The movie is anticipated to perform well this weekend after Rs 16 crore opening.

In the film, Aaradhya and Viplav fall in love while on separate vacations in Kashmir. The two protagonists decide to be married in order to prove their families, but their marriage is challenged by growing disparities between them. 

The review of the film on ABP Live reads: As Vijay Deverakonda plays a BSNL employee in Kashmir who is obsessed with the ideal notion of Kashmir's beauty that inspired the likes of AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam, he encounters a sudden bomb blast in the middle of a serene landscape, so as to suggest what would follow afterwards. Deverakonda's meeting with Samantha's character soon after( Aara) is punctured with violence and later with family rivalry and differing ideologies in the second half. Other than this, there is no kind of layering to this bare-faced, unashamed romantic drama of a film that goes on to preach the age-old habit of men being stalkers, women not meaning no in actual when they say no, stalker men impressing women and winning their hearts by resorting to violence and reinstating the need of their presence in the life of an 'abla nari'( woman).

'Kushi' is also available in Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam dubs. It is written and directed by Shiva Nirvana and was produced by Mythri Movie Makers. It also features Jayaram, Sachin Khedakar, Murali Sharma, Lakshmi, Ali, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, and Saranya.
