Featured reviews
I am a big fan of horror movies, and really like some classic ones like Pizza (Tamil) , Shutter (Thai) etc.
So I definitely wanted to see this movie irrespective of the ratings. It's a horror movie and it's got Anushka Shetty, what more can I ask ? Well, I should have asked for a more convincing script and non-cliched scenes !
Nevertheless I think you can watch this movie. It's extremely cliched , with the same old same old. Her acting is fantastic, and towards the end, with all the twists etc, you still want a more convincing story.
At times, it will also remind you of Manichitrathazhu ( or Bhool Bhoolaiya, if you must ) . Most of the movie will keep you interested, but if you are horror fan like me in general, you won't find the movie that scary. You will laugh at what you predict also.
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!
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.
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.
Bhaagamathie is kind of different movie which we never used to watch before. Its on socio-political issue as well as horror and thriller movie. There are 5 reasons given below that why should you watch this movie.
* Anushka Shetty's performance - Anushka Shetty's outstanding performance as Chanchala (which we have seen in her other roles e.g. Devsena, Sweet etc.) * The versatile star cast - the other stars of movies, Unni Mukundan, Asha Sharath, Jayaram, are versatile actors and well-known in their own industries. * Thaman's BGM - The background music and songs are really very sweet. * Film Direction - Direction of movie is too good that it has scary scenes, but more focused on its story. * Tailor-made script for Anushka - The script of movie written by Director G Ashok specially keeping Anushka Shetty in mind. He waited 4 years for her to give the dates.
