Story:
Shiva (Varun Sandesh) comes to his uncle’s house in Hyderabad on his way to Gulbarga. Shiva’s would be wife and his cousin Bhagya (Poonam Kaur) awaits his arrival along with her father (Jayaprakash Reddy). Shiva bumps into Maya (Asmita Sood) in the train and comes to know that she is in trouble. Maya goes away from Shiva after sometime and he will be left puzzled. But he finds her again in Hyderabad and goes to help her as she is being chased by goons. At the same time a film director Brahmi comes to narrate a story to Shiva’s uncle. Surprisingly everything which Brahmi narrates happens in real. There is a dark secret behind Maya which puts Shiva in big problem. Rest of the story is about Maya’s background and the problem that has been chasing her.
Analysis:
This film’s plot reminds us of A film By Aravind. That film was a thriller and this is a comedy. Any film would seem interesting if one of the characters narrates what happens for real. However, a tight screenplay is required for such plots to keep the audience interested. Director Eeswar Reddy who also penned the screenplay for this film has utterly failed in that department.
Screenplay is the main drawback of this film as there are too many holes to fill and loose ends which need to be connected. Few scenes involving Brahmanandam and Jaya Prakash Reddy clicked well due to the awesome timing of both the actors. But the director failed to light up the scenes where the duo is absent.
Chase sequences are poorly shot. This is a ‘on the run’ film but that thrill is missing throughout as the chasers doesn’t look menacing enough. Female lead’s character is the backbone of the narrative and she has failed to give right expressions which didn’t help on filling in the emotional quotient.
Performances:
Varun Sandesh is fine but still needs to improve a lot. He is still not working on his biggest flaw, dialog delivery. Also he needs to put on some weight as he can’t pull off these roles which need him to flex muscles at times. Asmita Sood is a pain to watch. She doesn’t know the basics of acting and we will be terribly tortured with her expressions as it is hard to find out what she is actually trying to convey! Krishnudu is just Okay. Brahmanandam is the hero of this film. His mere presence is having audience in splits. Jaya Prakash Reddy is good despite being loud. Poonam Kaur is not bad. Nagineedu is minimal. Other actors do their part as per the director’s requirements.
Tehnicalities:
Koti’s songs are awful. Background score is pathetic. Padmasri’s dialogs lacked the required punch. Cinematography is average. There is nothing much to speak about other departments.
Eeswar Reddy’s inability has been highlighted yet again. He can’t handle the films despite having interesting plots at hands. Screenplay and direction are the biggest minus of this film.
Plus Points:
- Few comedic scenes
Minus points:
- Screenplay and direction
- Heroine’s flashback is silly
- Climax is bad
Final Word: Brahmi gadi Katha – A comedy ‘story’ that ends up as a tragedy!
Box office predictions: Brammi gadi katha may appeal to audience who doesn’t mind to watch a film for few cheap laughs. It may fare better than Varun Sandesh’s recent flops due to the entertainment factor.
