Ooru Peru Bhairavakona

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.

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.

Fantastic movie one of best movie of 2024. Proud to be hindu its shows true strength of hindus. Action , songs, story is excellent. Modern Indian who forgot out culture should watch this movie. The hero for love take risk rob jewellery and escape he burns himself and escape on bike. He finds a girl met with accident but like true hindu try to help her. To hide from police they enter a village in a remote jungle whose people follow true hindu culture and in that village the hero realise how strong and powerful his religion is. Imagine can any one fight with ghosts for his right but like a true hindu the hero fights. All indian should watch this gem to feel proud of their religion.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona is a visually-striking film that blends fantasy, romance, and a dash of horror.

The idea of a hidden town, Bhairavakona, fueled by folklore and the Garuda Purana, is interesting. The initial mystery around the stolen jewelry and Basava's (Sundeep Kishan) backstory keeps you hooked. The film has its share of funny moments, and the lead cast delivers decent performances. Sundeep Kishan and Harsha Chemudu have good comic timing.

The second half falters. The Rajappa subplot feels underdeveloped, the love story lacks emotional depth, and the ending feels rushed. The rich folklore and fantasy elements are introduced but not deeply explored, leaving a sense of missed opportunity. The film juggles fantasy, comedy, and horror, but the transitions can feel awkward at times.

The cinematography is a highlight, with beautiful visuals that bring Bhairavakona to life. The songs by Shekar Chandra are pleasant but might feel slightly out of place due to the narrative issues.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona has a promising premise but doesn't quite deliver on its full potential. The first half is engaging, but the second half falters with a weak plot and underdeveloped characters. Still, the film's visuals and some fun moments make it a watchable one-time watch, especially for fans of fantasy and light-hearted adventures.

Basava (Sundeep Kishan) is a stunt double who is also a petty thief. He is in love with Bhoomi (Varsha Bollamma). Basava along with his friend John, steals bridal jewellery during a wedding and escapes in a stolen vehicle. On the way, they come across Agraharam Geetha (Kavya Thapar), who pretends to be met with an accident and they try to save her. Escaping the police, they enter a mysterious village Bhairavakona. As they face paranormal experiences, they try to uncover the mystery i.e. Bhairavakona and it's residents. Why Basava chose to steal the jewellery and what is the story of Bhoomi, forms rest of the story.

VI Anand definitely gets the first half right with a decent blend of mystery and humor. The non-linear narrative too tries to work in the film's favor. As the first tries to keep the mystery alive and build the Basava - Bhoomi story, the pre-interval scenes make the right impact. It is the second half that largely suffers from the writing. The entire sub-plot involving Rajappa (Ravishankar) is underwritten. Adding to that, the love story of Basava - Bhoomi lacks the emotional impact it aims for and in the end, the proceedings look all too convenient. Despite decent performances and narrative pace, the second half doesn't match the first half.
