Bhairavam, an action drama starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Nara Rohith, and Manoj Manchu as the main leads, has hit the screens worldwide today, 30 May 2025. The film has generated good anticipation among audiences, and let us delve into the details of the film in our Bhairavam Review.
Story:
The story of Bhairavam revolves around three friends — Varada, Gajapathi, and Seenu — who encounter turmoil when a politician targets ₹1000 crore in Temple land, forcing them into a struggle against betrayal.
Performances:
The lead roles in Bhairavam go to famous actors Manchu Manoj, Nara Rohith, and Bellamkonda Sreenivas. Srinivas portrays a nuanced character unlike his typical roles. In the first half, he seems normal, but in the second half, he gains strength and leaves a significant impression.
Manchu Manoj returns to the big screen after a long absence, but his role lacks a powerful impact. The actor is fine and tries to provide the right intensity, but it turns out consistently loud. Nara Rohith suits his character well. He emerges as the best of the three leads. He performs earnestly and brings emotional depth.
Aditi Shankar primarily appears in songs, while Aanandi is okay. Divya Pillai is noticeable. Jayasudha is fine in her minor role as a grandmother. Ajay, Sampath Raj, and Sandeep Raj are fine.
Analysis:
Director Vijay Kanakamedala starts Bhairavam (Garudan’s remake), in an old-fashioned way, but despite the swift plot progression, it lacks depth in character development and feels superficial. The pre-interval episode involving temple ornaments and property documents is impressive. The lengthy action segment at the interval is executed well.
The second half starts with an unnecessary song, but the Mamidi Thota episode later brings in a major twist for a lead character, creating a tense atmosphere that engages the audience. The following emotion works well too. To enhance the climax, the director introduces a divine element for Bellamkonda’s role. The outcome falls short but remains satisfactory.
Positives:
- Three Leads’ Performance
- Second Half
- Fights
Negatives:
- Initial Outdated Feel
- Comedy/Filler Scenes
- Few Crucial Scenes miss the mark
Bhairavam Movie Review and Verdict:
Bhairavam is a decent action drama that offers well-placed emotional moments and mass blocks. The three lead actors perform effectively. Though the film suffers with some underwhelming parts and dull moments, it still ends up as a one-time watch.
