Superstar Maheshbabu first time with three heroines.. Successful
combination of the director Srikanth Addala and the prestigious PVP banner producing
it .. And tons of star cast, can there be a better package for this summer, and that's called true "Brahmotsavam"
Just the Plot: Sathyaraj believes in togetherness and lives
jointly with his wife Revathi’s four brothers. Eldest of them Rao Ramesh can’t
tolerate his brother-in-law’s authority. And thus arises the tiff. How this is
being resolved at the end forms the crux of the film…
Maheshbabu…the time has stopped counting his age and he
looks fresher and fresher by each film.. And thus no surprise as the three
heroines in film crave for him. Thankfully Mahesh has given ample time for
romance in this movie and every such scene is lovable… And then his attachment
with his father is so touching that makes the interval scene spellbound. And
the Climax entirely rests on Mahesh’s shoulder and I somehow liked the little
cute dance moves in “Bala tripuramani”
Kajal is given the first half and she like old wine is so
hot and shares nice chemistry with Mahesh. Liked the dialogues she has
especially when taking leave from Mahesh.. Samantha comes in later half and
snatches well the second part of the film … Mahesh and Samantha make a made for
each other pair and their ease in comedy timing proves that . Thus Pranitha is
swallowed by these two girls.. but she makes her presence felt with few lines
she is given .
Sathyaraj steps into Prakashraj’s shoes this time and we
know how great an actor he is…So easily dons the proceedings in the first half.
Rao Ramesh’s role is like sequel to what he is done in previous Addala films
and he is brilliant as the only bad among so many good people in the film (Rao gopala rao's animation is clever inclusion). Revathi
and Jayasudha have given their best in competing roles. There exists several
stars like Naresh,shiyaji shinde, Sudhakar and Saranya to name few.
Galore of Celebrations …
Last decade we had “Hum aapke hain kaun” or our “PelliSandadi”
where there are lot of songs including all star cast and everyone dancing around..
First half gives that feel.. Mahesh-Kajal romance and this festivity fills up
the screen with no air to flow in between and first half sails so smoothly. Rao
Ramesh spills out audience mind at this juncture questioning the need for this
excessive celebrations and then comes the break!!
Second half goes in little unstitched way when Mahesh tries
to search his roots in different places in North India. Samantha’s presence
here and Vennela Kishore’s comedy gives way to some sweet moments in this half.
I felt Interval the best than the climax.
Overdose of “Manchitanam”
Who does not like that mouthwatering dessert that is served
at the end of the dinner.. But what if only dessert is served all over the
plate… there is such kind of feel we get while watching “Brahmotsavam” where
excess of goodness and lot of “Manchi maata” are uttered every two minutes…
Good things are always good to have and everything about the
family bonding is definitely need of the hour. Nice to know that details of our
7 generations stored in Kashi and to know about Lord Balaji and Lakshmidevi’s
parents.
Mickey J Meyers songs are good though they were little abundant
in first half. Thota tharani’s grandeur settings and Rathnavelu’s camera makes
every frame so colorful and rich.
Finally…
It’s kind of mixed bag feeling at the end… where I received excess
of goodness which gets preachy at times and half-baked second part. But there
are lot to love about the beautiful love scenes and few heart touching moments and
the brilliant casting and visuals..
