Bhairavam Review and Rating: Great Storyline Let Down by Narration

Bhairavam Review and Rating: Great Storyline Let Down by Narration

Introduction:

Released on May 30, 2025, Bhairavam stars Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas, Nara Rohith, and Manchu Manoj in key roles. Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, the film is based on the Tamil film Garudan. With high expectations due to its powerful cast and strong source material, the film presents an emotional story centered on friendship and betrayal. But does it truly engage the audience? Let’s find out.

Story:

The story unfolds in Devipatnam, a village in East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. Gajapathi (Manchu Manoj) and Varada (Nara Rohith) are childhood friends. Sreenu (Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas), an orphan, becomes part of their bond after an incident in their youth. He grows up as their loyal supporter.

The twist begins when a corrupt minister sets his eyes on the sacred manyam lands owned by the Varahi Amma temple, with the land papers held by Gajapathi’s family. The minister manipulates one of the friends to betray the others. The film’s core revolves around loyalty, greed, and emotional dilemmas. Will Sreenu remain faithful? Will friendship survive power and temptation?

Performances:

Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas delivers a fair performance. Though his role is less dominant, he becomes more active in the second half. Nara Rohith handles his part with ease but appears physically unfit for the role. Manchu Manoj shines in the second half despite some over-the-top scenes in the beginning. Jayasudha plays her grandmotherly role suitably. Aditi Shankar in her Telugu debut is charming and fits well as a village girl. Anandhi has limited screen time but leaves a lasting impression. Sampath Raj and Sarath Lohithashwa are decent in their roles, while Vennela Kishore’s comedy does not stand out.

Technical Aspects:

Music by Sricharan Pakala is good, especially the song “O Vennela”. Background score enhances the emotional tone of the film. Cinematography by Hari K Vedantam captures the village vibe authentically. Production design is visually rich. Editing and dialogues, however, are quite routine and fail to elevate scenes.

Analysis:

Bhairavam closely follows Garudan’s storyline but misses its emotional depth. In the original, the casting and grounded tone gave it an authentic feel. Bellamkonda, known for mass roles, doesn’t bring the subtle emotional pull needed for this character.

Some scenes, especially those involving emotional tension and friendship, fall flat. Comedy sequences don’t work well either. Still, a few moments—like the police station scene and climax—hold some impact.

Director Vijay Kanakamedala tries to add devotional and mass elements for Telugu audiences. But these additions, while thoughtful, don’t make the film memorable.

Verdict:

Bhairavam has a strong plot and a few powerful moments, but the execution feels patchy. It may appeal to those unfamiliar with Garudan, but for others, it comes off as a lesser remake with limited emotional depth.

Rating:

2.5/5

Top Telugu Film Releasing During Dasara

Couple of days back, it was announced that Pawan Kalyan’s stylish action movie OG will be released on September 25th, just in time for the Dasara holiday. This festival season usually sees many big films hitting the theaters. Along with OG, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 and Sai Dharam Tej’s Sambarla Yeti Gattu were also planned for release during Dasara. However, Akhanda 2 is now expected to come out later, around Sankranthi, because its work is not yet finished. The makers of Akhanda 2 are not rushing to release the movie during Dasara, so its release date has been postponed. Because OG is coming during Dasara, Sai Dharam Tej’s Sambarla Yeti Gattu will be delayed and released at a later time.

Another notable film, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara 2, is set to release on October 2nd. Besides these movies, there are no other major Telugu films expected to release during the Dasara holidays. This gives OG a clear advantage to attract more audience during this festive season.

There has also been talk about Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambara, which has been delayed multiple times. It was rumored to release during Dasara, but after the announcement of OG, it looks like Vishwambara will not release in September. The new release date for Vishwambara is yet to be confirmed.

Apart from these big films, a few medium-budget movies might come out during Dasara, but nothing has been officially announced yet. So, the upcoming Dasara holiday season looks exciting mainly because of OG’s release, and movie lovers can expect some good entertainment during this festival time.

Akhanda 2 creates buzz with big OTT bidding war

Akhanda 2 is one of the most eagerly awaited films in Telugu cinema. Starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role, the movie is directed by Boyapati Srinu and is a sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda. The original film was a massive success and the biggest hit of Balakrishna’s career, which has naturally raised the hype around the sequel.

The buzz around Akhanda 2 OTT rights is creating major excitement in the film industry. Top OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are showing strong interest in acquiring the digital rights. Reports suggest that the producers are quoting a record price of ₹100 crore for the OTT deal. This unexpected pricing has surprised many, but it also reflects the strong confidence in the film’s potential.

The demand is also fueled by Balakrishna’s recent success with Bhagavanth Kesari, which did well both at the box office and on Netflix. The movie crossed ₹150 crore in collections and stayed among the top trending titles in India. This success has only added to the anticipation for Akhanda 2.

Produced by Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta under the 14 Reels Plus banner, the film is being made on a big budget of over ₹150 crore. Balakrishna’s daughter Tejaswini is also involved in the project as a presenter. The team is planning every move strategically to ensure maximum returns through OTT and theatrical releases.

The movie promises grand action scenes, emotional drama, and a powerful performance by Balakrishna. Director Boyapati Srinu is known for his mass action entertainers, and he’s bringing the same energy here. Music is composed by Thaman, and Aadhi Pinisetty plays the main antagonist.

The makers have set the release date for September 25, during the Dasara festival season. Some key scenes are also being filmed in the Himalayas and during the Maha Kumbh Mela, adding a unique visual appeal.

Tollywood’s Dasara box office battle heats up

Tollywood is gearing up for a massive box office battle during the Dasara festival. Several big films are set to release around the same time making it an intense competition.

Prabhas’ upcoming film The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi was initially scheduled for April 10 but has now been postponed. The makers are considering an October release, as they believe the long weekend starting with Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 will be ideal. However competition is tough as Kantara Chapter 1 has already locked the same release date.

Adding to the clash, Ram Charan’s RC 16, directed by Buchi Babu, is also rumored to be targeting an October release. The film’s shooting is progressing rapidly, and if lead actors Janhvi Kapoor and Shiva Rajkumar adjust their schedules, the movie might release on October 16. This could prevent a direct clash with The Raja Saab.

Meanwhile, Akhanda 2: Tandavam and Sai Dharam Tej’s Sambarala Etigattu are set to hit theaters on September 25. If these films receive positive reviews, they could dominate the box office even during the Dasara holidays.

With multiple big releases within 20 days, including Prabhas, Ram Charan, Balakrishna, Sai Dharam Tej, and Rishab Shetty’s films, Tollywood audiences are in for an exciting festive season. However, this intense box office competition could affect individual movie collections, making the Dasara 2025 season one of the most thrilling in recent years.

Devara pre-release business: Jr NTR’s film surpasses expectations

Devara pre-release business:

Jr NTR’s highly anticipated film Devara is gearing up for its global release on September 27, 2024. Directed by Koratala Siva, this action-packed movie is already generating significant excitement, both among fans and in the entertainment industry. Devara marks a milestone in Jr NTR’s career, coming after his international success with RRR. The film is a unique combination of gripping storytelling, intense action sequences, and a stellar cast.

Biggest Solo Pre-Release Business

Devara has achieved an impressive pre-release business, making it the biggest solo film in Jr NTR’s career so far. With pre-release theatrical rights valued at Rs 182.25 crore, the film is on track to set new records at the box office. The break-even target for the movie is Rs 184 crore, which is expected to be easily achieved once it hits the theaters.

This figure is particularly notable given the fierce competition within the South Indian film industry. The film will be released in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi—ensuring a wide-reaching audience. The Nizam region alone accounted for Rs 44 crore of the pre-release business, followed by significant contributions from Ceeded, UA, and overseas markets.

Star Cast and Characters

Devara stars Jr NTR, affectionately known as ‘Young Tiger’ by his fans, in the lead role. The film also introduces Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor to Telugu cinema. Saif plays Bhaira, the movie’s antagonist, while Janhvi Kapoor portrays Bangaram, the female lead.

The storyline revolves around Devara, portrayed by Jr NTR, who is caught up in smuggling activities alongside his friend (played by Srikanth Meka). A betrayal leads to a dramatic conflict between Devara and Bhaira, setting the stage for high-octane action scenes. The film also delves into Devara’s quest for vengeance after learning the truth about his father’s fate.

The creative team behind Devara is equally impressive. Koratala Siva, who has worked with Jr NTR before, is both the director and writer. Known for his ability to blend mass action sequences with social messages, Siva promises to deliver an impactful movie experience.

The production is helmed by Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Kosaraju Harikrishna under the banners of Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts. The film’s technical aspects are handled by a talented crew: cinematographer R Rathnavelu, editor A Sreekar Prasad, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander. The electrifying music and gripping background score are expected to heighten the movie’s dramatic appeal.

Devara has captured the attention of fans not just in India but across the globe, especially after Jr NTR’s recent rise to international fame. The film’s worldwide release, coupled with the buzz around its pre-release business, has created an atmosphere of eager anticipation. The story, which blends action, drama, and romance, is expected to cater to a broad audience, making it one of the most awaited films of the year.

With a cast that includes veteran actors like Prakash Raj, Murali Sharma, and Shine Tom Chacko in supporting roles, and a storyline packed with twists and intense sequences, Devara promises to be a cinematic spectacle.
