i am really sorry to say that this film is not going to be a box office success.. the main factor is prithviraj.. all the films of padmakumar were good... but their problem was the hero... prithviraj is a hero who lacks good box office performance... all his hits were supported by some additional factors... nandanam because of good songs, ranjith & low budget.. violence because of very very low budget... sathyam because of film strike... vellinakshstram & althbhuthadweepu were because of technical masala... swapnakoodu & classmates because of all youth stars and songs... anandabhadram because of santhosh sivan,kavya & songs.... no one was because of his presence... but vaastavam was really a good experience... prithviraj had finally done something good... the film is so interesting and it is mentioning so many political issues and family values... its really a 3 star film... the script is really good but some part is not upto the mark... all the three heroines are good... jagathy sreekumar had done a fantastic job... altogether vaasthavam is a good movie which won't dissatisfy you... strength of the film is director, padmakumar and prithviraj... the best film of padmakumar so far.
