Vijayanand is the biopic of businessman-turned-politician, Dr Vijay Sankeshwar. The film shows the rise of an ordinary man from North Karnataka. The first half of this film is engaging and the art direction by Rishika Sharma, that takes you back in time, is impressive. Music by Gopi Sundar is aptly used. Keerthan Poojari has brought magic to the screen through his lighting and frames. The second half, however, lacks tempo as the screenplay lags and loses grip. Playing Vijay Sankeshwar in this film probably required more preparation by Nihal, who still manages to impress in bits. Bharath looks promising as Anand Sankeshwar. Ananth Nag is impressive as BG Sankeshwar.
