Bhairavakona is the village that takes us on a rollercoaster ride of mixed emotions, blending good Socio-Fantasy elements with scenes that keep us eagerly anticipating what’s going to happen next. The storytelling occasionally goes overboard, making us patiently wait for the content to conclude.
Varsha Bollamma’s characterization and her backstory seem intricately linked to the main plot; hopefully, this connection becomes clearer in the latter half of the film.
Notable roles are played by Kavya Thappar, Harsha Chemudu, and Vennela Kishore, while the protagonist Sundeep Kishan, so far, hasn’t offered much, instead juggling along with these characters to provide some okayish comedy.
The interval scene holds promise, paving the way for the events in the village. However, the overboard scenes prior to this make us wish for them to conclude sooner.
Sekhar Chandra’s BGM stands out, engaging us with his scoring throughout the film.

To believe in the social elements linked to the fictional village, there should be a strong point, and even if there is, the narration should be convincing. Though the director has engaged us with the concept, the characters that take part in this village send out mixed emotions, mostly low, as they alter the situations with their logicless characterizations. One such instance is with P. Ravi Shankar’s role.
Ravi Shankar’s side story messes up with the actual plot of the film. Sundeep Kishan, along with Varsha Bollamma and Kavya Thappar, has done justice to the given roles.
Bhairavakona had a promising start with intriguing social elements, leading to the introduction of the village. The film combines overboard scenes with promising elements, impressing at parts. The director faces a dilemma between a comedic genre blended with social elements or a serious narrative with an intriguing screenplay. Vi Anand strikes a balance, delivering a product that takes a side track for spectators, leading to disappointment in the latter half. P. Ravi Shankar’s characterization becomes the main culprit in the story.
Varsha Bollamma’s characterization is routine yet good, setting the stage for the main plot where Sundeep Kishan embarks on a mission to fulfill a dream. Kavya Thappar’s role is also commendable, although limited. Harsha Chemudu and Vennela Kishore’s comedy impresses in bits and pieces.
Sekhar Chandra’s background score stands out, elevating the movie from beginning to end. However, characterizations from the fictional village prove to be drawbacks, appearing illogical in the context of social elements. They fluctuate between seeming powerful and providing humor, making little sense.
Overall Verdict: The film has a good concept but falters in execution and building characterizations.
