Karthikeya Gummakonda after Bedurulanka 2012 has come up with a thriller, Bhaje Vaayu Vegam. UV Concepts have been gaining good name for their different script selection, too. Happy Days fame Rahul Tyson is making a comeback with this one. The movie released on 31st May and let’s discuss about it in detail.
Plot:
Venkat(Karthikeya Gummakonda) lives with his younger uncle Raj(Rahul Tyson) in Hyderabad. They hail from a village from Telangana from a poor peasant Lakshmayya(Tanikella Bharani)’s family. Raj tries to buy a job for him in a software company. On the other hand, Venkat is a talented cricketer looking to make it at club level. He needs Rs.10 lakhs to bribe selectors.
Venkat has a habit of betting using his cricketing knowledge. For money, he risks huge using Rs.4 lakhs given by Lakshmayya. He also gets to know that Lakshmayya’s health condition is deteriorating and hence, he needs huge money under any circumstances. But he has fight with powerful Mayor George and his brother David(Ravi Shankar). What did he do? Why did he had to fight them? Watch Bhaje Vaayu Vegam Movie for more.
Analysis:
Karthikeya Gummakonda looked good in this role and he tried his best to give Venkat flesh and bones. But some cliches could have been avoided in writing for his character. It seems like makers wanted him to be as generic as possible as a commercial hero character. With some different characteristics, it would have been much more interesting to watch him face the challenges.
Rahul Tyson is fine but he did not suit the character. Ishwarya Menon has nothing to do much. Tanikella Bharani and Ravi Shankar handled their roles really well. Bhaje Vaayu Vegam Movie engages us more due to their performances than the tight screenplay. Few sequences have been written in a convenient way and that does appear as a huge weakness.
While few twists and emotions did work, the script needed much more innovative situations. Each and every situation does evoke dejavu and hence, Bhaje Vaayu Vegam remains a surface level thriller. Screenplay does engage us with new plot elements being uncovered as we progress. Yet, the plot doesn’t really work in entirety as writing tries to fill the bullet points with sequences.
While the build-up for the antagonist characters teed off well, the following sequences don’t live up to it. Along with it, some twists don’t really pay off well for the way they have been set up. The makers took great care in making a decent film but did not push for it to reach it complete potential. On the whole, Bhaje Vaayu Vegam is a convenient yet watchable thriller.
Positives:
Karthikeya Gummakonda’s performance.
Ravi Shankar’s performance.
Tanikella Bharani scenes
Interval twist
Climax portion
Negatives::
Too Convenient screenplay
Engaging yet too predictable
Tacky Narrative at places.
First hour tends to be too slow
Bhaje Vaayu Vegam Movie Bottom-line: A bit too convenient
