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!
