Ooru Peru Bhairavakona

The film presents a promising story but falls short in its execution. The screenplay struggles, leading to a narrative that often feels uninspired and lackluster, although it does have its moments with a very few standout scenes. Unfortunately, the dialogue fails to elevate the material, lacking depth and impact.

Musically, the film manages to deliver two nice songs.

Sandeep Kishan delivers a commendable performance, consistent with his reputation for solid acting. Varsha Bollamma shines in her role, Kavya Thapar adds a spark to the film with her presence. Kishore and Harsha are fun.

The supporting cast turns in acceptable performances, doing what they can with the material provided. The cinematography is competent, offering some visual appeal, though the film's VFX elements do not meet the same standard, detracting from the overall experience.

While it may not justify the price of a movie ticket, the film could be an option for streaming on OTT platforms for those who find the premise intriguing enough to overlook its shortcomings.

"Ooru Peru Bhairavakona" is a predictable thriller that falls short in delivering emotional depth. VI. Anand struggles to establish a strong connection with the characters, which ultimately proves to be the film's biggest drawback...

Sundeep kishan has improved over the years & has been closely associated with Kollywood recent years...While he convincingly potrays the role of Basava,it's obvious that the role is limited to playing a conventional protagonist in a fantasy film, but he does it skillfully...

Varsha does give her best standout performance enhancing the movie with her emotional quotient,while kavya thapar does a decent outing...Harsha & Vennela Kishore are the biggest asset of the movie...

Sekhar Chandra's music is just ok but let down by poor bgm...Nijamena chepthunna song is especially extraordinary mind blowing love song in recent days...The film has excellent visual effects and strong visuals...The production design is equally good...

The narrative gains momentum as it progresses towards the pre-interval sequence. While the backdrop of "Bhairavakona" may resemble last year's blockbuster "Virupaksha,loses its battle in execution...The non-linear storyline might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's necessary for the final revelation...

Overall a one-time watchable decent fantasy thriller.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona is a visually-striking film that blends fantasy, romance, and a dash of horror.

The idea of a hidden town, Bhairavakona, fueled by folklore and the Garuda Purana, is interesting. The initial mystery around the stolen jewelry and Basava's (Sundeep Kishan) backstory keeps you hooked. The film has its share of funny moments, and the lead cast delivers decent performances. Sundeep Kishan and Harsha Chemudu have good comic timing.

The second half falters. The Rajappa subplot feels underdeveloped, the love story lacks emotional depth, and the ending feels rushed. The rich folklore and fantasy elements are introduced but not deeply explored, leaving a sense of missed opportunity. The film juggles fantasy, comedy, and horror, but the transitions can feel awkward at times.

The cinematography is a highlight, with beautiful visuals that bring Bhairavakona to life. The songs by Shekar Chandra are pleasant but might feel slightly out of place due to the narrative issues.

Ooru Peru Bhairavakona has a promising premise but doesn't quite deliver on its full potential. The first half is engaging, but the second half falters with a weak plot and underdeveloped characters. Still, the film's visuals and some fun moments make it a watchable one-time watch, especially for fans of fantasy and light-hearted adventures.

A fantasy drama set in a village has become quite a trend in so called pan Indian South Indian cinema, especially in Telugu films. This wave started with movies like Karthikeya 2, Hanuman, and Kantara, which churned out big numbers. However, simply trying to capitalize on the trend often fails, and that's exactly what happened with this one.

The story follows a thief who, after a major robbery, escapes from the police and ends up in a village called Bhairavakona. Little did they know, the village is haunted by ghostly inhabitants, leaving them with no way back home. Moreover, the village holds a mysterious connection to the thief's past and love life.

This is a movie that makes no sense in any way. Even if you go in expecting a no-brainer, you'll find yourself in disbelief, wondering how such scripts get approved for production. With caricature-like characters and an absurd storyline, the film neither scares nor amuses. Even the so-called comedy feels like mockery.

Sundeep Kishan, despite being given a weirdly written character, holds his ground, making the film barely tolerable. Viva Harsha as his friend fails to deliver either comedy or impactful acting. Kavya Thapar's performance was amateurish, though Varsha Bollamma fares slightly better. Among the supporting cast, only Vennela Kishore stands out with his good comic timing. The rest either overact or seem to have forgotten how to act.

The screenplay is the biggest flaw here. It doesn't fit into any genre-be it horror, comedy, or fantasy. Logic takes a backseat, and you're expected not to question anything that unfolds on screen. Director VI Anand seems confused in his vision and should work on refining his craft.

Movies like this should only be watched when you're in the mood to watch just anything. It's not so bad that it'll give you a headache, but it's far from engaging.

It's a below average watch.

The only movie which I never discussed with my friends after watching it because there was nothing good about the movie.

The setup of BhairavKona was good were people with unfulfilled wishes get settled but sadly the direction and screenplay came out very poor.

Even after setting up a perfect scenario the movie never has the intent to show the events in a serious manner The comedic punches ruined the whole movie.

The actors did an okayish job.

Only positive things were VFX and cinematography of the movie which felt good to watch otherwise the plot twists were not that good and climax was also forgettable.
