Review

Story

Bhaagamathie jeevi reviewChanchala (Anushka) is an IAS officer who works as personal secretary to irrigation minister (Jayaram). A lot of precious idols are stolen from temples. Irrigation minister who is an honest politician threatens the high command in a public meeting. Home department orders a CBI enquiry into this issue with an intention to frame irrigation minister in a scam. Chachala who is serving jail term for killing a guy is taken to a secret location of Bhaagamathie Bungalow for interrogation. Rest of the story is all about what happens in Bhaagamathie Bungalow.


Artists Performance

Bhaagamathie jeevi review Actors: Anushka is elegant as Chanchala. She is terrific in interval scene as Bhaagamathie. This is her 1st release after Baahubali 2 and it’s nice to watch her on big screen again. Malayalam actor Jayaram does justice to the pivotal role of a politician. Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan Nair is okay as love interest of heroine. Malayalam actress Asha Sharath is good as a CBI officer. Dhanraj, Prabhas Seenu and Vidyulleka Raman provide entertainment and Dhanaraj’s character is story driven. Murali Sharma is good as a cop.


Technical departments

Bhaagamathie jeevi reviewStory - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is different. It’s a thriller and is a screenplay-based film. Director G Ashok comes up with strong characters and a screenplay that holds well. He has used actors well. The interval episode of ‘bhaagamathie adda’ is spine chilling. It’s very difficult to mix so many elements and a few genres while narrating a film. I have a few observations regarding story and screenplay which I had written below the review. Please read it only after you watch the film.

Bhaagamathie jeevi reviewOther departments: Background music scored by SS Thaman is exceptionally good. Sound Design deserves a special applause. Cinematography by Madhie is outstanding. Raveender’s production design is authentic and stands out. Dialogues penned by G Ashok are good. He played well with words like Prathinidhi (representative - every source). Visual effects are good. Editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao is good. Production values by UV Creations banner are splendid.


Bhaagamathie jeevi reviewAnalysis: Bhaagamathie is a kind of film that’s difficult make and difficult to position in Telugu market. Director and production house have packaged the film in such a way that it partly satisfies the people who look for horror elements and the audiences who seek thrill. Despite having a complicated screenplay, Bhaagamathie tries to give something for everybody. Plus points of the film are Anushka, screenplay and background music. On the flipside, the narration should have been true to its genre. On a whole, Bhaagamathie is a well packaged thriller.

Disclaimer: Spoilers ahead. Please read this only after watching the film.

The basic story idea seems to have been taken from the Hollywood classic ‘Usual Suspects’. Concept of narrating a fictitious horror story in a thriller came first in Telugu films with Pizza.

Though the screenplay of the film is good, the director has taken a few liberties. ‘Usual Suspects’ film is about telling an imaginary story by using the names/brands written on objects in that room. The investigators realise it after the suspect is let off. In ‘Bhaagamathie’ too, Anushka creates an imaginary story based on wordings and books in Bhaagamathie Bungalow and misleads the investigator. But in the process, the director has deliberately misled audiences in these two aspects

1. Home Ministry sending an investigator without briefing her with the facts they have. (this is purely to make audience to presume that Jayaram is good and HomeMinistry/Govt is bad at the beginning of the film)

2. The scenes in which Murali Sharma enters Bhagamathie Bungalow with an intention to shoot (Bhaagamathie nailing her palm, burning of the book etc). These scenes are shot to establish that Bhaagamathie is a ghost. Since it’s not on spy cameras, it’s only meant to convey to audiences (not to the investigator)

People wouldn’t mind such scenes in a regular commercial film. But a content/screenplay based film like Bhagamathie, these misleading scenes may not go well with narrative!
