Bhaagamathie

I am a big fan of horror movies, and really like some classic ones like Pizza (Tamil) , Shutter (Thai) etc. So I definitely wanted to see this movie irrespective of the ratings. It's a horror movie and it's got Anushka Shetty, what more can I ask ? Well, I should have asked for a more convincing script and non-cliched scenes ! Nevertheless I think you can watch this movie. It's extremely cliched , with the same old same old. Her acting is fantastic, and towards the end, with all the twists etc, you still want a more convincing story. At times, it will also remind you of Manichitrathazhu ( or Bhool Bhoolaiya, if you must ) . Most of the movie will keep you interested, but if you are horror fan like me in general, you won't find the movie that scary. You will laugh at what you predict also.

Remarkable performance from Anushka. You rock the show beauty. Kudos to the director for the screen play. The hero material could have been used in some other way but that was not a spoiler in the over all screen play. Asha sharath stands unique as usual and those imagining this with Arundati will definitely have a surprise. As a whole awesome entertainment and the central stage has been capitalized by the outstanding performance of Anushka.

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!

The movie was so good. Anushka and everybody acted very good in the movie. The movie lagged a lot at the 1st half of the movie but the 2nd half of the movie was very interesting and thrilling. BGM in the movie was very good. There are many twists in the 2nd half which was very interesting in the movie.

Horror and mystery movies needs to get you hooked from the starting but for me this started with disinterest , just before climax it gets me slightly interested and by the end of it I felt dissatisfied with the convenient screenplay they have used to merge the 2-3 genres they have used .

Chanchala(Anushka shetty) is an IAS officer, who is undergoing trial for murder of her husband . CBI on orders of State Chief Minister take her from jail and confine her to a haunted place for questioning her about her Ex boss - a minister suspect of corruption and stealing idols from temple. Mysterious things start happening in that house where the brother of her deceased husband was supervising her stay.

It has same cliched 2-3 comic characters to give comic touch during the horror scenes and a screenplay full of loopholes.

All characters were decent to good , Anushka stand out especially in scenes where she gets possessed by Bhaagmaathi's soul.

Props , camera angles and Background music is good for horror and thrilling scenes but as they say , these can enhance the impact of a good screenplay but when the moves lacks a good screenplay or soul how would these things matter .

Unless you are an Anushka fan , this movie isnt worth wasting time . Its a 4/10 but giving 1 extra for Anushka's performance
