Actually, everything in Brahmotsavam is full of life, but the audience in the movie hall is sombre. He is someone like Aman Mathur of Kal Ho Naa Ho, but here the hero is not dying, but full of life instead. He is handsome he is a charmer, and most of all, he is pious. This one shot is enough to see through the character. When Mahesh Babu shows up on the screen, rather than a heavy BGM, a pepped-up version Madhurashtakam plays, and the hero is seen wearing a white blazer. One thing the directors of Tamil and Telugu film industries excel at is the innovative methods they come up with to introduce their heroes. There is heroism, but it is of a different kind. In Srikanth Addala's Brahmotsavam, it is all mellowed down. Last time we saw Mahesh Babu on the silver screen, he was busy sending goons in the air, and mouthing a lot of one-liners throughout the film Srimanthudu. If you ignore the predictable nature of the storyline and some boring moments during the second half, this is one film which can be easily watched with your family this summer.Cast: Mahesh Babu, Sathya Raj, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu Mahesh Babu’s performance, family emotions and huge star cast are basic assets. This is not your regular dance and fight movie and has simple emotions. On the whole, Brahmotsavam is a film which has some decent moments going its way. Had he worked out more on the second half and added some better family drama instead of too much travel, the out put would have been even better. Coming to the director Srikanth Addala, his screenplay is quite simple but it is his dialogues that are simple and clean. Production values by PVP are awesome as every frame looks rich and grand. Every scene is so nicely light up and especially the songs and outdoor locations, they have been showcased in a superb way. If not for his visuals, the film would not have turned out the way it did.
Major credit should go to Ratnavelu for his breath taking camera work. Mickey J Meyer’s music is a huge asset as all the songs have been shot wonderfully. The way she is introduced into the plot is also not convincing.
Also, Samantha’s character lacks clarity. The film becomes a travel movie and wanders places.Įven though the concept of finding our roots is good, the way it has been conceived lacks conviction in many places. After a very interesting first half, the proceedings during the second half take a slight beating. Pace of the film is a bit slow and the regular mass audience will find it quite hard without the basic fan moments. The proceedings are quite predictable right from the word go and do not have much twists or turns. Vennela Kishore does a good job in his role and brings good laughs in the second half.Īs in every Srikanth Addala film, story takes a severe beating and the same happens with Brahmostavam too. Interval bang is superb and has been executed quite well. The various relationships and the way they have been set admist the modern day thinking is wonderful.įirst half of the film is pretty good and has some very feel good moments. As in every Srikanth Addala film, Brahmotsavam too has some memorable family emotions. All his scenes with Mahesh Babu and a particular scene featuring him and baby Akshara moves you emotionally. All her romantic scenes with Mahesh have been designed supremely well. Kajal looks and plays her NRI role supremely well and is the main stay of the first half. Samantha is superb in her chirpy role and her chemistry with Mahesh is just adorable. Jayasudha and Revathi are good in their respective roles. His mannerisms, attitude suits his character well and he does a brilliant job. Rao Ramesh is another attraction and gets a meaty role. He gels nicely amidst the huge star cast and is especially good during the emotional scenes. He looks like a dream and mesmerises with his performance. Mahesh Babu is undoubtedly the star attraction of the film. Rest of the story is as to how Mahesh takes things in hand and gets his family back on track and where does Samantha feature in all this set up. An unexpected incident takes place because of this issue and disrupts the entire family. He bursts out with anger and confronts Satyaraj. Twist in the tale arises when Rao Ramesh finds out that Mahesh is already in love with Kajal. To get even more prominence in the family, he decides to get his daughter(Pranitha) married to Mahesh Babu who is Satyaraj’s son. But one among the family, Rao Ramesh is always unhappy with the way he is always under the shadow of Satyaraj. The story of Brahmotsavam is quite simple and is based on Satyaraj and his joint family. Let’s see whether it lives up to its expectations or not Directed by Srikanth Addala and produced by PVP Cinema, this film has released all over amidst huge fan fare and hungama. Starring : Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha, Pranithaīrahmotsavam is Mahesh Babu’s biggest release till date and has been waited with beated breadth all over.
