#BRAHMOTSAVAM MOVIE REVIEW IDLEBRAIN TV#

The proceedings are as tedious as some of our never-ending TV serials like “Mogali Rekulu” or “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki”. Along the way Samantha and Mahesh Babu talk in plain silly way and look at each other admiringly but refrain from doing anything. While the first half is filled with family drama with song and dances, the second half is more like a Travel documentary for a TV channel with Mahesh Babu and Samantha heading to Nagpur to Haridwar to Jaipur to Sholapur and all over the India to find out the roots of seven generations of his family. The dialogues in thick Godavari slang sometimes amuse us and the philosophical conversation between Mahesh Babu and Sathya Raj is hard to understand. Like in old Krishna Vamsi's movies “Murari” or “Ninne Pelladutha”, all the ladies either do pooja or make pickles, and every room in the large house is decorated with flowers, banana leaves, and dozens of kids and workers moving all the while. When the family is not shown, we get to see some silly verbal romance between Mahesh Babu and Kajal Aggarwal. But one feels cheated by the teasers as the movie proceeds on.Ĭan you sit through a movie in which first one hour is devoted to songs, wedding events, festival celebrations, picnics, silly banter between family members and nothing else? Yeah, the first hour of “Brahmotsavam” treads on like Sathya Raj and his son playing with a group of 50 to 60 family members and singing songs. Despite this, when he teamed up with Mahesh Babu for “Brahmotsavam” expectations shot high and the title and teasers hiked them up as they promised a colorful family entertainer. His next film “Mukunda” was highly criticized by many. Despite the movie having no major story, the way he has handled the scenes, brought out the bonding between two brothers struck a chord with everyone. “Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu” had elevated director Srikanth Addala to another league. Plenty of actors with little characterisation.Main villain of the movie is editing work and dialogue writing. Sets created by Thota Tharani are splendid. Picturisation of the songs is like celebration of a wedding loaded abundance of decoration. Songs like “Bala Tripuramani” and “Nayudigarinitikaada” are a treat to watch on the screen. Music is good but they irritate as they come frequently. His photography has elevated the movie to the next level. Rathnavelu has filmed the movie dipping with beautiful colors. Richness is noticed in every frame in the film – beautiful photography, stunning sets, presence of veteran and known actors. Comedy by Vennela Kishore has worked well. Senior actresses Revathy and Jayasudha don’t disappoint us. Pranitha has nothing much to do in the film. Samantha’s role and her acting is silly, when she speaks in slang she sounds awkward. Kajal Aggarwal has shared terrific chemistry with Mahesh Babu and she has got more screen presence among the three heroines. It looks like Srikanth Addala writes movies only for him. Sathya Raj is suited in the role of Mahesh Babu’s rich father. He has looked all more handsome and has carried the film on shoulders till the end even as the movie proceeds in dull manner. The movie doesn’t have scope for him to bring out best performance. Frankly speaking more than performance, he has looked handsome that is impressive. After “Athadu” and “Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirmalle Chettu”, he has come up with another sincere performance. Mahesh Babu has proven himself that he excels in classy dramas where emotions matter more. The tragedy in his family makes Mahesh Babu to find the extended family that is living all over India. He walks out of the family and leaving Mahesh Babu’s father devastated. When his brother-in- law Rao Ramesh who is hoping that Mahesh marries his daughter Pranitha sees that Mahesh kissing Kajal Agarwal, hell breaks loose. His father Sathya Raj loves to lead life celebrating festivals with his relatives and family members together. Mahesh Babu is son of an industrialist in Vijaywada. Will the team deliver what everyone is looking forward to? Let’s find out. Hence “Brahmotsavam” has become most-talked about the movie this year. Mahesh Babu, the top star of Tollywood, is also in great form. The combination of Mahesh Babu and director Srikanth Addala, who delivered blockbuster “Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu”, was the prime reason for the great expectations it generated. One of the biggest movies of this year, “Brahmotsavam” has been creating buzz for a long time and everyone is waiting for its release.
