Bhaagamathie

Once you watch this movie, you can not simply go away without puting a review. This movie deserved a 10/10 vote since it has a excellent story, script, acting and back ground. A very good acting from Anushka and the others. Specially Anushka performing a tremendous charactor here. I was wondering why she is acting like "not natural" with the doctor, while she is performing very naturaly with the other scenes. just realized at the end of the story. And only negative from this, is what happens if "Sampath" the ACP, decides to take he to some other place than "Bhaagamathie Bungalow" ? Overall a good Movie again. Thanks to the Team Bhaagamathie.

If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? Just watch it! It is such a masterpiece & Anushka Shetty did a fantabulous job! Sucha great actor! Loved it so much! Everything about this movie is 10/10, i can go forever praising this iconic piece of art!

Bhaagamathie is a perfect example of a film that starts in one vein and ends in another. Borrowing elements from films like Manichitrathazhu (1993) and The Usual Suspects (1995), it narrates the story of a murder convict and former IAS officer Chanchala (Anushka Shetty) who is locked inside a haunted mansion by the CBI so that they can question her about a minister (Jayaram) who they think is corrupt. With shades of the horror genre evident in the cinematography (jump scares) and the background music, the film situates itself on a plot that is crooked at best. Why would CBI choose such a location even when they don't want publicity? The contrived nature of the plot plays against the purpose of the film as the discerning viewer is already fed up with convenient storytelling. However, if you ignore this nature, Bhaagamathie can turn into a passable affair as pretty-faced Shetty leads the show with her subtle performance, supported heavily by the electrifying Jayaram. The first half manages to create a setup that you will expect more from in the second half, but unfortunately, it dilly dallies around for long before expediting the wrapping process. At the end, there are just one too many twists and turns for one to follow, giving you a feeling that Bhaagamathie is more of a cheap thriller than a horror film. If you have nothing better do and love either of the actors I mentioned, then this is a watchable film. Otherwise, skipping wouldn't hurt. TN.

A wonderful movie made me felt WOW while watching. The entire movie tied the audience to focus it, as there is no such distractions or unwanted stuffs. Each scene had its important, though some scenes are illogical and confusing.. that did not spoiled the interest. Wonderful architecture can be seen in the movie.. even little things will wonder us.. Like in a scene when anushka open the door a hand like lock will hold her hands that was really nice.. The entire palace and the ideology was awesome and it perfectly matched with the story.. Anushka's acting was brilliant and the credits should goes to the director. He utilized her talent well to renovate the movie. Such a good mysterious thriller movie in Tamil.

Horror and mystery movies needs to get you hooked from the starting but for me this started with disinterest , just before climax it gets me slightly interested and by the end of it I felt dissatisfied with the convenient screenplay they have used to merge the 2-3 genres they have used .

Chanchala(Anushka shetty) is an IAS officer, who is undergoing trial for murder of her husband . CBI on orders of State Chief Minister take her from jail and confine her to a haunted place for questioning her about her Ex boss - a minister suspect of corruption and stealing idols from temple. Mysterious things start happening in that house where the brother of her deceased husband was supervising her stay.

It has same cliched 2-3 comic characters to give comic touch during the horror scenes and a screenplay full of loopholes.

All characters were decent to good , Anushka stand out especially in scenes where she gets possessed by Bhaagmaathi's soul.

Props , camera angles and Background music is good for horror and thrilling scenes but as they say , these can enhance the impact of a good screenplay but when the moves lacks a good screenplay or soul how would these things matter .

Unless you are an Anushka fan , this movie isnt worth wasting time . Its a 4/10 but giving 1 extra for Anushka's performance
