      Whata twist

      Once you watch this movie, you can not simply go away without puting a review. This movie deserved a 10/10 vote since it has a excellent story, script, acting and back ground. A very good acting from Anushka and the others. Specially Anushka performing a tremendous charactor here. I was wondering why she is acting like "not natural" with the doctor, while she is performing very naturaly with the other scenes. just realized at the end of the story. And only negative from this, is what happens if "Sampath" the ACP, decides to take he to some other place than "Bhaagamathie Bungalow" ? Overall a good Movie again. Thanks to the Team Bhaagamathie.

      A Great Mysterious Thriller movie i had ever watched !!

      Movie: Bhaagamathie (UA): Action/Horror/Thriller - Telugu

      BHAAGAMATHIE is the first film I've seen in theatre, first day first show. Plus, unexpectedly it was without subtitles! But I was able to understand the story and many of the dialogues.

      Positives:

      Anushka's performance is extremely mindblowing and realistic. She is the soul of the film and doesn't fail to impress. All other actors too deliver great performances. The screenplay of the film is watertight and razor sharp, and as a result it doesn't deviate at all. The thrills of the film are impressive and the film uses humour in some proportions, very well. The film manages to scare you right from the beginning, and as a result does justice to its genres. The production values are excellent, grand and top notch. The music by SS Thaman is melodious and exciting at the same time. The interval blockade is excellent and drew a lot of whistles and applause from viewers. Even I was left stunned and my mouth was left open. Some of the action blocks are also impressively done.

      Negatives:

      Seriously, nothing!

      Repeat value: Yes

      Overall, BHAAGAMATHIE is a highly entertaining action-horror thriller which has all the necessary elements to keep you hooked to the edge of the seat. Since I saw it without subtitles, I've got a reason to watch it again when subtitles will be available. But language barrier can be broken, and films from the southern filmmakers have already proven that. Even without subtitles, I had no problem in following the story and ended up enjoying it as a whole. Go, book your tickets soon!

      If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? Just watch it! It is such a masterpiece & Anushka Shetty did a fantabulous job! Sucha great actor! Loved it so much! Everything about this movie is 10/10, i can go forever praising this iconic piece of art!

      Molecule Review: Bhaagamathie

      Bhaagamathie is a perfect example of a film that starts in one vein and ends in another. Borrowing elements from films like Manichitrathazhu (1993) and The Usual Suspects (1995), it narrates the story of a murder convict and former IAS officer Chanchala (Anushka Shetty) who is locked inside a haunted mansion by the CBI so that they can question her about a minister (Jayaram) who they think is corrupt. With shades of the horror genre evident in the cinematography (jump scares) and the background music, the film situates itself on a plot that is crooked at best. Why would CBI choose such a location even when they don't want publicity? The contrived nature of the plot plays against the purpose of the film as the discerning viewer is already fed up with convenient storytelling. However, if you ignore this nature, Bhaagamathie can turn into a passable affair as pretty-faced Shetty leads the show with her subtle performance, supported heavily by the electrifying Jayaram. The first half manages to create a setup that you will expect more from in the second half, but unfortunately, it dilly dallies around for long before expediting the wrapping process. At the end, there are just one too many twists and turns for one to follow, giving you a feeling that Bhaagamathie is more of a cheap thriller than a horror film. If you have nothing better do and love either of the actors I mentioned, then this is a watchable film. Otherwise, skipping wouldn't hurt. TN.

      A Good Mysterious Thriller film in 2018

      A wonderful movie made me felt WOW while watching. The entire movie tied the audience to focus it, as there is no such distractions or unwanted stuffs. Each scene had its important, though some scenes are illogical and confusing.. that did not spoiled the interest. Wonderful architecture can be seen in the movie.. even little things will wonder us.. Like in a scene when anushka open the door a hand like lock will hold her hands that was really nice.. The entire palace and the ideology was awesome and it perfectly matched with the story.. Anushka's acting was brilliant and the credits should goes to the director. He utilized her talent well to renovate the movie. Such a good mysterious thriller movie in Tamil.
