Bhadram is the Telugu dubbed version of successful Tamil thriller Thegidi. This small film made so much buzz in Tamil cinema. Can it repeat the same feat here?
STORY:
Venu (Ashok Selvan) gets a job in detective agency. His job is to collect details about the 'subjects' and send a report to the company. He is assigned the job of collecting details about Madhu (Janani Iyer). He falls in love with her in the process. One day Venu comes to know that all the people that he followed are getting killed. Next in the list is Madhu. Venu has to solve this mystery to save her.
Performances:
Ashok Selvan is alright in the lead role. This character needs to exhibit many emotions, but Ashok has only two or three stock expressions. Janani Iyer's performance is fine. She suits the role of typical girl next door. Kaali who played hero's friend gives some relief here and there. Jaya Prakash and others chip in with adequate performances.
Technicalities:
Director P. Ramesh chose an interesting subject for this film. It takes time to get to the real plot. There are some interesting twists and turns in the film to keep you engaged. However Bhadram leaves so much space for betterment. We expect much better execution especially in the second half.
Songs are not needed for this type of film. There are too many songs in the first half and they hardly impress. Background music is good in the murder scenes. Cinematography is good. Editing is not up to the mark.
Analysis:
Bhadram has some engaging moments here and there. The film opens on a leisure note and moves at a snail pace until the first murder is revealed. From then on it is a rollercoaster ride until interval. These scenes raise the bar for the second half, but the director failed to reach it. Despite few tension filled scenes in the second half, Bhadram gives a feeling that something is missing in the process.
Climax scenes are not handled impressively. The reason for murders is not convincing. Director had a very good plot but failed in executing it. Telugu audience have seen better thrillers and mystery films. Bhadram is just okay thriller with very few impressive moments. This film is made by the makers of Pizza and Villa. Bhadram is pretty average compared to those films.
Bhadram has enough to kill time. It is neither a bad nor a great film. You may watch it in theaters or wait for the edition. Keep your expectations low if you are planning to watch it.
Verdict: Bhadram is an Average Suspense Thriller.
