Story:
Brahma (Raja Goutham) faces challenges as a theater artist, struggling to fulfill his dreams because of financial difficulties, while his romantic relationship with Tara (Priya Vadlamani) too encounters problems. He confronts a major challenge: arranging a substantial sum is necessary for him to get an acting chance. Living in an elderly care center, Anand Ram Murthy(Brahmanandam), is the grandfather of Brahma, and he has lost touch with his family. Observing Brahma’s urgency, he suggests lending a hand while stressing the importance of having a plan. Anand, Brahma, and Giri (Vennela Kishore) set off on a trip to the village of Burradupalem, revealing Murthy’s true motives. Why did Murthy decide to bring Brahma to the village? The rest of the film reveals the mystery surrounding it.
Performances:
Once again, Brahmanandam showed he can shine in roles beyond his usual comedy. He convincingly portrayed a mature character and expressed subtle emotions flawlessly. Raja Goutham impresses with his performance, particularly in scenes featuring sarcasm. Vennela Kishore does a good job and spreads laughs whenever he gets an opportunity. Priya Vadlamani, Divija Prabhakar, Sampath Raj, and Rajeev Kanakala fit their roles perfectly, and add value to the story.
Analysis:
The film has an interesting plot. It opens with showing the struggles of Brahma and his selfish nature, but the actual story opens when the scene shifts to the village. The director had room for improvement in balancing a serious topic with an enjoyable atmosphere, which he successfully done with Vennela Kishore’s character. The screenplay drags on, and better pacing could have increased the film’s impact. Brahma Anandam tries to break conventions and redefine companionship devoid of age. However, except for some parts in both halves, the film moves on a dull note. The buildup to the climax was better, but with proper care, it could have been outstanding.
Positives:
- Brahmanandam’s Performance
- Vennela Kishore’s Character
- Few Important Scenes
Negatives:
- Dragged/Inconsistent Screenplay
- Not So Strong Emotions
- Ineffective Handling of a Few Characters
Brahma Anandam Movie Review and Verdict:
Brahma Anandam is a Subpar Emotional Drama. Though it has an exciting premise, its intent and execution does not match except for a few parts. Those who love to watch feel good movies with little expectations can only enjoy it.
