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!
