Ooru Peru Bhairavakona

"Ooru Peru Bhairavakona" is a predictable thriller that falls short in delivering emotional depth. VI. Anand struggles to establish a strong connection with the characters, which ultimately proves to be the film's biggest drawback...

Sundeep kishan has improved over the years & has been closely associated with Kollywood recent years...While he convincingly potrays the role of Basava,it's obvious that the role is limited to playing a conventional protagonist in a fantasy film, but he does it skillfully...

Varsha does give her best standout performance enhancing the movie with her emotional quotient,while kavya thapar does a decent outing...Harsha & Vennela Kishore are the biggest asset of the movie...

Sekhar Chandra's music is just ok but let down by poor bgm...Nijamena chepthunna song is especially extraordinary mind blowing love song in recent days...The film has excellent visual effects and strong visuals...The production design is equally good...

The narrative gains momentum as it progresses towards the pre-interval sequence. While the backdrop of "Bhairavakona" may resemble last year's blockbuster "Virupaksha,loses its battle in execution...The non-linear storyline might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's necessary for the final revelation...

Overall a one-time watchable decent fantasy thriller.

No spoiler Alert.

A brilliantly made Fantasy Thriller and an edge of the seat experience!

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona exceeds my expectation in all departments and certainly a must watch theaterical film of this year. The director Vi Anand has comeback strongly to entertain us and proves yet again that he is a Master of such genres which are rarely touch based in Telugu Film Industry. Screenplay was top notch with decent twists and turns required for this movie.

The entire cast starting from Sundeep, Varsha, Vennela to Viva fits perfectly into the world of Bhairavakona. There is an extra ordinary bonding between Vi Anand writing and Vennela Kishore characters which creates a comedy swirl in theatres.

Songs and BGM, no doubt will be one of the highly talked about positives of this film. Nijeme Ne is certainly a crowd puller. DOP is a masterpiece considering 90% of the movie is shot in night.

For this budget film, the VFX is out of world experience. At times we can see glimpses of Marvel Cinematic Experience, which is a major feet for this film. The trust that the director had in the VFX team needs to be appreciated considering 1/3 of the movie has CG sequence.

The production value is high and defintely looks like a 50-60 cr movie, though it is not. Bhairavakona world is well designed and thought out without any confusion.

Overall if you are a movie lover and wished to see industry taking positive changes including all commercial aspects, this is a perfect theaterical watch for you with your family.

The film presents a promising story but falls short in its execution. The screenplay struggles, leading to a narrative that often feels uninspired and lackluster, although it does have its moments with a very few standout scenes. Unfortunately, the dialogue fails to elevate the material, lacking depth and impact.

Musically, the film manages to deliver two nice songs.

Sandeep Kishan delivers a commendable performance, consistent with his reputation for solid acting. Varsha Bollamma shines in her role, Kavya Thapar adds a spark to the film with her presence. Kishore and Harsha are fun.

The supporting cast turns in acceptable performances, doing what they can with the material provided. The cinematography is competent, offering some visual appeal, though the film's VFX elements do not meet the same standard, detracting from the overall experience.

While it may not justify the price of a movie ticket, the film could be an option for streaming on OTT platforms for those who find the premise intriguing enough to overlook its shortcomings.

It's a below average watch.

The only movie which I never discussed with my friends after watching it because there was nothing good about the movie.

The setup of BhairavKona was good were people with unfulfilled wishes get settled but sadly the direction and screenplay came out very poor.

Even after setting up a perfect scenario the movie never has the intent to show the events in a serious manner The comedic punches ruined the whole movie.

The actors did an okayish job.

Only positive things were VFX and cinematography of the movie which felt good to watch otherwise the plot twists were not that good and climax was also forgettable.

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.
