Based on a true story, a true incident... this is the story of Venkatesh and Sujata who challenged medical science. Suffering from the irreversible and fatal DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) Venkatesh was meant to lead a sickly worthless life and die at the age of 16, but his zest for life, his determination and soaring human spirit surprised medical science and he achieved accolades which many of us don't achieve in an entire lifetime. By the time he breathed his last, out of his own will, at the age of 24 he was a "hero". Wanting to donate his organs before he left the world, the ever smiling Venkatesh, in his last 15 days challenged the state, the law of the country and earned his place in the hearts of people and left behind a legacy and a conversation that still is relevant and is being discussed.

The intention is right, but this is too sorrowful a film that pries open a tiny crack of hope. Go to Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Dec 17, 2022
2/5
Revathy eschews all understatement in this Kajol-starrer. Every sequence is created to fill you with pathos, and leave you teary-eyed. Go to Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion Dec 9, 2022

Kajol and Vishal Jethwa's film gets better in the second half but still cannot inspire too many emotional reactions. Go to Full Review Dhaval Roy The Times of India Dec 19, 2022
4/5
The last scene is so poignantly powerful that it will leave you misty-eyed. The heart-touching fare, replete with positivity as much as pain, is a must-watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sha T @RT26304180 Feb 28, 2023 Every second of this movie had me one step away from tearing, there a lump in my throat throughout. This is such a beautiful but heart wrenching movie. The cast specially the actor playing Venky did a outstanding job. Its so sorrowful but definitely something I would recommend everyone to watch See more mirza m @mirzabaig890 Dec 14, 2022 'Salaam Venky' is an excellent deeply humane drama replete with positivity as much as pain.
