Bhairavam Movie Review: A jaded action-drama that trades layers for the 'larger-than-life'
Some time in the second half, the protagonist of Bhairavam finds himself in a dilemma trying to mediate a conversation between two men, who were once friends, but can't see eye to eye anymore. We are expected to be as nervous as our protagonist — but how can we, after the makers have just dazzled us with a colorful massy dance number a few minutes ago? This decision puzzles you for a while, before you realise the makers of Bhairavam are bound by a template which they cannot think outside of. Formula is not necessarily a bad thing, but at what point do filmmakers realise it cannot come at the cost of structural or tonal integrity? Director: Vijay Kanakamedala Cast: Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Nara Rohith, Manchu Manoj, Ajay, Divya Pillai, Aditi Shankar, Anandhi Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, Bhairavam is an official remake of the 2024 Tamil film Garudan. The story revolves three men - Gajapathi, Varadha and Seenu — who differ in their social status but remain tightly knit in their friendship and loyalty towards each other. Seenu (Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas), in particular, is a character who is both empowered and chained down by his loyalty to these two men. However, circumstances soon mould in a way which brings out the darker side of one of them, and puts their relationship to test.

‘Bhairavam' Review: A Gritty Action Drama That Delivers in Parts
Movie Title: Bhairavam Language: Telugu Release Date: May 30, 2025 Cast: Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Nara Rohith, Manchu Manoj, Aditi Shankar, Aanandi, Divya Pillai, Jayasudha, Vennela Kishore Director: Vijay Kanakamedala Producer: KK Radhamohan Music: Sricharan Pakala Cinematography: Hari K Vedantam Editor: Chota K Prasad Rating: ★★¾ (2.75/5) Overview Bhairavam is a Telugu action drama featuring an ensemble cast led by Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohith. With decent pre-release buzz and action-heavy promos, the film hit theatres today. While it delivers on some fronts, it doesn't quite fire on all cylinders. Plot Summary The story centers around childhood friends Gajapathi Varma (Manchu Manoj) and Varadha (Nara Rohith), whose bond is tested by the entry of Seenu (Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas), an orphan drawn into their lives after a pivotal incident. Conflict brews when a powerful minister (Sharath Lohithaswa) schemes to seize sacred temple land, enlisting a corrupt cop (Sampath Raj) to assist. What follows is a gripping descent into betrayal, violence, and fractured loyalties. What Works Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas delivers a surprisingly nuanced performance, showcasing emotional range and improved screen presence. Nara Rohith impresses with his composed portrayal, adding subtlety and gravitas. Manchu Manoj brings intensity and a menacing edge to his character, excelling in confrontational scenes. The action choreography—particularly in the interval block and transformation scenes—is a major highlight for mass cinema fans. Divya Pillai and supporting cast members like Sampath Raj deliver solid performances in well-defined roles. What Doesn't The plot is predictable, offering few surprises after the first act. A slow-paced second half hampers momentum, with scenes that drag and lack emotional heft. The central friendship is more told than shown, reducing emotional impact. Female leads like Aditi Shankar and Aanandi are underutilized, with Aditi's role limited to songs and filler scenes. The music lacks staying power, failing to elevate key moments. Technical Aspects Director Vijay Kanakamedala adapts the story from Garudan but struggles to fully realize its emotional and dramatic potential. A tighter screenplay and deeper character arcs might have strengthened the film's impact. Hari K Vedantam's cinematography complements the action well, while Sricharan Pakala's background score adds emotion in key moments. However, the editing could have been sharper, particularly in the latter half. Verdict Bhairavam offers enough for fans of action dramas, thanks to its lead performances and well-crafted action sequences. However, the film is weighed down by a formulaic narrative, underdeveloped characters, and pacing issues. It's a passable watch if you're in the mood for a mass entertainer—just keep expectations in check.
