Synopsis

Bhairavam

Gajapathi and Varada are close childhood friends living in Devipuram, Andhra Pradesh. During their childhood, Seenu, an orphan, saves Gajapathi from danger, and he takes in Seenu as a form of gratitude. Seenu became loyal to Gajapathi. The three of them grew up in the care of Gajapathi's grandmother, Nagarathnamma, the head of the trustee committee of the Vaarahi Amma temple. Being a zamin heir, Gajapathi lives in poverty with a meagre income from his brick kiln, while Varada owns a few lorries. Gajapathi and Varada remain powerful in Devipuram while presiding and managing as temple trustees. Meanwhile, Vedurupalli Venkateswara Rao, the Registration Department Minister, plans to usurp unclaimed land worth ₹1000 crores near Devipuram and learns that the land belongs to the Vaarahi Amma temple while the original deed is in a jewellery box in the temple. After Nagarathnamma's death, Nagaraj, Venkateshwara Rao's relative, plans to become the temple committee head at his instruction. However, Seenu becomes the temple committee head with the support of Varada and Gajapathi. To somehow redeem the bond, Nagaraj provokes Gajapathi's wife, Neelima, and his brother-in-law, Puli Ravindra, by kindling their greed for money. Venkateshwara Rao forces CI Partha Saradhi to join his coercion to aid Nagaraj in his plan. Puli, angry with Varada for forcing him to marry a Muslim girl, whom he had cheated, stirs up trouble between Varada and Gajapathi.

Along with the background score mentioned above, the songs in the film also touch both ends of the spectrum. While a couple of tracks are genuinely catchy—especially the ‘Dum Dumaare’ song—others are so abrupt and flat that they offer viewers a four-minute break to check all their messages. The same applies to the cinematography, set design, and visual effects: some key moments are absolutely great, while others are merely mediocre at best. But it is due to these key moments that the film comes out as a surprisingly good entertainer. By placing these moments at regular intervals, the director has managed to render a final output that is certainly fun to watch. If one enjoys emotions, drama, action, song and dance—pure commercial entertainment—'Bhairavam' is certainly worth a watch. But beware: it defies logic, gravity, and sense whenever the opportunity presents itself.
