“Ooru Peru Bhairavakona,” a Telugu fantasy thriller, marks the reunion of actor Sundeep Kishan with director VI Anand.Released in theaters on February 16, 2024, the film has elicited a range of responses from both audiences and critics.
The movie explores uncharted narrative territories, blending stunning visuals with an uneven storyline.Critics have noted that while the film’s technical craftsmanship is impressive, its narrative suffers from inconsistencies.
Despite the mixed reviews, the film has made a rapid shift to the digital platform, Amazon Prime Video, just a month after its theatrical release.This quick transition provides a convenient option for viewers who missed the chance to watch it on the big screen.
The film features Varsha Bollamma and Kavya Thapar in lead roles, with notable performances by Vennela Kishore, Ravi Shankar, and Harsha Chemudu.The production was helmed by Razesh Danda of Hasya Movies, and the film was presented by AK Entertainments.
Sekhar Chandra’s music adds a melodious dimension to the film, enhancing the overall experience.
The story follows Basava Lingam (portrayed by Sundeep Kishan), a stunt double with a penchant for adventures akin to Robin Hood.Alongside his accomplice John (Harsha Chemudu), Basava finds himself on a serendipitous journey to Bhairavakona—a village where myths are alive, and shadows harbor secrets.The arrival of Agraharam Geetha (Kavya Thapar) adds complexity to their adventure, turning a simple escape into a confrontation with the supernatural.
The film’s technical aspects, particularly Shekar Chandra’s haunting score and Raj Thota’s cinematography, have been praised for capturing the dual beauty and menace of Bhairavakona.However, the overpowering score at times has overshadowed the dialogue, highlighting the delicate balance between sound and silence.
