Analysis:
The film is made as a crime comedy with a romantic thread thrown into it to create the core conflict between the Hero and Heroine. Although there are many characters present in the film, none of them is worth mentioning, including the lead role. As one can see, nothing is new in the story. What mattered the most was the screenplay, which needed to be engaging. Sadly, that doesn’t happen with Bhaag Saale.
A major issue with the film is it is predictable all the way. Despite eccentric characters being present, there is hardly anything surprising or new. The excitement which should have been in the proceedings was totally absent, and the entertainment also did not work well. The entire villain track looked very silly and irritating.
Performances: Simha Koduri was ok and Neha Solanki was fine. John Vijay and Harsha Chemudu could not impress due to annoying characterization. Sudarshan provided a few laughs while Satya got wasted. Rajeev Kanakala and Varsha were ok.
Plus Points:
- Comedy at places
Minus Points:
- Story
- Screenplay
- Music
Verdict:
Overall, Bhaag Saale is a well intended insane comedy that never gets the things right. The film did get a few elements in the right place, but lacked edgy and catchy execution to hold the audiences’ attention. As the title implies, the film makes the audience run away from the theaters.
