Ooru Peru Bhairavakona

Fantastic movie one of best movie of 2024. Proud to be hindu its shows true strength of hindus. Action , songs, story is excellent. Modern Indian who forgot out culture should watch this movie. The hero for love take risk rob jewellery and escape he burns himself and escape on bike. He finds a girl met with accident but like true hindu try to help her. To hide from police they enter a village in a remote jungle whose people follow true hindu culture and in that village the hero realise how strong and powerful his religion is. Imagine can any one fight with ghosts for his right but like a true hindu the hero fights. All indian should watch this gem to feel proud of their religion.

Story is quite unique blended with a touch of folklore. Especially Bhairavkona, the village which is a prison for souls soughting revenges. The story revolves around Bhairavkona and the actor. Casting actors have well portrayed their characters. I wished the story could have been knitted more properly as the subject was good. 2nd half could have been more detailed. Though it's not a romantic film, yet in my view, it wouldn't have spoilt the main subject. A little bit of more romance could have made it even more engaging. It sure that one will not regret after watching the movie. It's more then an average movie.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona is a visually-striking film that blends fantasy, romance, and a dash of horror.

The idea of a hidden town, Bhairavakona, fueled by folklore and the Garuda Purana, is interesting. The initial mystery around the stolen jewelry and Basava's (Sundeep Kishan) backstory keeps you hooked. The film has its share of funny moments, and the lead cast delivers decent performances. Sundeep Kishan and Harsha Chemudu have good comic timing.

The second half falters. The Rajappa subplot feels underdeveloped, the love story lacks emotional depth, and the ending feels rushed. The rich folklore and fantasy elements are introduced but not deeply explored, leaving a sense of missed opportunity. The film juggles fantasy, comedy, and horror, but the transitions can feel awkward at times.

The cinematography is a highlight, with beautiful visuals that bring Bhairavakona to life. The songs by Shekar Chandra are pleasant but might feel slightly out of place due to the narrative issues.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona has a promising premise but doesn't quite deliver on its full potential. The first half is engaging, but the second half falters with a weak plot and underdeveloped characters. Still, the film's visuals and some fun moments make it a watchable one-time watch, especially for fans of fantasy and light-hearted adventures.

A fantasy drama set in a village has become quite a trend in so called pan Indian South Indian cinema, especially in Telugu films. This wave started with movies like Karthikeya 2, Hanuman, and Kantara, which churned out big numbers. However, simply trying to capitalize on the trend often fails, and that's exactly what happened with this one.

The story follows a thief who, after a major robbery, escapes from the police and ends up in a village called Bhairavakona. Little did they know, the village is haunted by ghostly inhabitants, leaving them with no way back home. Moreover, the village holds a mysterious connection to the thief's past and love life.

This is a movie that makes no sense in any way. Even if you go in expecting a no-brainer, you'll find yourself in disbelief, wondering how such scripts get approved for production. With caricature-like characters and an absurd storyline, the film neither scares nor amuses. Even the so-called comedy feels like mockery.

Sundeep Kishan, despite being given a weirdly written character, holds his ground, making the film barely tolerable. Viva Harsha as his friend fails to deliver either comedy or impactful acting. Kavya Thapar's performance was amateurish, though Varsha Bollamma fares slightly better. Among the supporting cast, only Vennela Kishore stands out with his good comic timing. The rest either overact or seem to have forgotten how to act.

The screenplay is the biggest flaw here. It doesn't fit into any genre-be it horror, comedy, or fantasy. Logic takes a backseat, and you're expected not to question anything that unfolds on screen. Director VI Anand seems confused in his vision and should work on refining his craft.

Movies like this should only be watched when you're in the mood to watch just anything. It's not so bad that it'll give you a headache, but it's far from engaging.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona goes wrong in many aspects. The first and foremost thing is the love track upon which the entire movie revolves. There are not enough scenes between Sundeep Kishan and Varsha Bollamma, making it tough to connect to their emotion. The key scene/twist reveal in the second half featuring the lead pair should have been emotional and shocking, but the presentation here made it inconsequential. There are two chartbuster songs, but they don't add much value to the proceedings due to their placement.

Multiple genres are incorporated into the film, but enough justice isn't done regarding execution. From the opening scene, the director tried to project that there was some mystery behind Bhairavakona, but the suspense was not built properly. The stakes were never high, so we would hardly be interested in knowing the enigma surrounding Bhairavakona.

The fun moments in the first half are passable, but the actual story is brought in during the halfway mark. The interval episode is neat, but as the staging of scenes and world-building aren't done well, the impact is minimal. There are no high moments or thrills in both the halves. There are some really good, fun moments, but the movie somewhat disappoints on the whole due to a lack of emotional depth and flat narration.

Everything regarding the second half looks very rushed, and one would get a feeling that the movie ended abruptly. The heroine's backstory is a beaten-to-death concept, and the makers tried to blend it with fantasy, comedy, horror, and suspense elements, but these elements look somewhat contrived.
