      Worst Movie ever, I will suggest no one to watch this movie as it is completely waste of time

      This movie is not worth to watch also this movie is completely anti Hindu and the motive of the film makers is to defame Hinduism. They are just trying to modify aur Hindu culture by glorifying Ravan and defaming Lord Ram.

      Exceptional performance of Prateik as Ravan

      "Bhavai" is a distinct Bollywood film that dares to step away from the beaten path. It presents a fresh perspective on the Ramayana through the eyes of its 'antagonist', Ravan, whose role is wonderfully brought to life by Prateik Gandhi.

      Prateik Gandhi, who gained fame with his compelling portrayal in "Scam 1992," truly shines in "Bhavai." In the story, he joins a drama company where he is assigned the role of Ravan. This gives him the opportunity to delve deep into the complexity of this character, and he seizes it with both hands. Gandhi's performance as Ravan is exceptional, mesmerizing audiences and leaving an indelible mark.

      "Bhavai" cleverly utilizes the setting of a drama company to unravel the intricacies of Ravan's character, challenging conventional notions and encouraging viewers to think beyond the binary of good and evil. This unique narrative approach combined with Gandhi's captivating performance makes for an engaging cinematic experience.

      In conclusion, "Bhavai" is an intriguing film that offers something refreshingly different in the realm of Bollywood. With an inventive storyline and Prateik Gandhi's impressive portrayal of Ravan, it carves a niche of its own. It may not be flawless, but it's certainly a worthwhile watch for those seeking an unconventional film experience. Its exploration of character complexity and narrative innovation is commendable, marking a step forward in the evolution of Indian cinema.

      Simply worst

      No storyline nothing in the movie its very boring to see such content less movie.

      Screen play is not exiting Acting is so bad except Gandhi

      Waste of time dont watch it.

      Bad Choice Pratik, Sorry.

      Movie is a pure gem, but got catered to dogmatic audience and dogmatic audience is khacchar. These won't understand the beautiful message conveyed by the movie. They only know to act sentimental (cause they're mental and do not use the gift they have).

      Your decision for this movie is great, but it should have been released in south industry, where truly quality content is appreciated. Here, audience is pseudoreligus.

      Releasing it in Bollywood was a bad choice.

      The storyline and screenplay is perfect. The length of movie and songs according to the different situations are correct and complementary to each other.

      This pure love story with Pratik Gandhi's fabulous acting and Ashutosh Rana's negative character acting, adding up the background score and you get a true love story movie.

      I will recommend this movie, only to those who are intelligent enough to see the truth, without being dogmatic.

      The one who watches this movie, while understanding it, will have a blissful experience.

      do watch #Bhavai in cinemas

      RAM is the name of the hero - he is the son of an orthodox pandit - but he gets selected to portray RAVANA in a production being staged in his village - he delivers a superlative performance as the chief antagonist in the hindu epic - but what if he decides to actually decamp with SITA - will he be able to lead a customary life with her - will the emotional villagers ever accept the bitter fact that RAVANA is just a vile character in a play and not a debauched man in real life - do watch #Bhavai in cinemas - mainly for #PratikGandhi - he is amazing - the other actors too have done well - the music is good. Rating 3.5/5.
