Sundeep Kishan’s latest outing, Ooru Peru Bhairavakona, helmed by VI Anand, has finally hit the screens, raising anticipation levels among audiences. Starring Varsha Bollamma as the female lead, let’s delve into how the film fares.
Plot:
The narrative centres around Basavalingam (played by Sundeep Kishan), a thief working for a contract killer. His life takes a turn when he encounters Bhumi (Varsha Bollamma), a girl who finds herself lost in the city. Entranced by her, Basava aids her, unaware that she is his target. As circumstances unfold, Bhumi’s safety becomes his priority, leading them to a mysterious village called Bhairavakona. Here, they encounter supernatural beings, triggering a quest for survival and the recovery of stolen jewels and a car. Amidst the chaos, the fate of Bhumi remains uncertain.
Performances and Technical Aspects:
Sundeep Kishan delivers a commendable performance, demonstrating dedication in every frame, while Varsha Bollamma shines in emotional sequences. Kavya Thapar impresses in her role, and Viva Harsha and Vennela Kishore inject humor into the narrative. Music by Sekhar Chandra breathes life into the film, complementing its visuals and sound design. Despite impressive production values and cinematography, the screenplay struggles to maintain engagement.
Analysis:
Director VI Anand’s attempt to weave multiple storylines encounters challenges in execution, resulting in a disjointed narrative, particularly in the first half. While the interval sets high expectations, the film fails to sustain momentum in the latter half, veering off-course and culminating in a rushed and exaggerated climax, leaving audiences wanting more coherence.
Verdict:
While Ooru Peru Bhairavakona boasts strong performances and an intriguing plot, it falters in execution, particularly in narrative coherence and pacing. Despite its flaws, the film offers moments of entertainment, making it worth a watch for fans of the genre.
