Moral of the colourful story: A montage of beautiful visuals (Rathnavelu’s brilliance), lots of happy people, and frequent song and dance routines may be the perfect ingredients for a ‘brahmotsavam’, but the end result needn’t necessarily be a good film. Brahmotsavam is one of the much-awaited movies to release in May. Rao Ramesh, as usual, gives a stellar act, but what’s the use? Everyone else does what’s expected. Honestly, we’ve seen so much of this fawning over Mahesh’s fabled good looks that it’s boring now, especially when you go as far as to make a little kid ask him if he’ll marry her. For much of the film, he is just hanging around, smiling and looking pretty. Premiering on Hulu beginning March 18th is Fatal Attraction. Sadly, you don’t get to see enough of that. That one shot where he paces up and down, with pain, confusion and despair on his face, all at once, gives you a peek into what Mahesh can do as an actor. Mahesh Babu’s performance in the pre-interval sequence is the best part of the film. Nothing really happens, except that somewhere along the way, hero realises he loves heroine. The hero goes around meeting extended family (we never know why), and keeps hopping from Nagpur to Solapur to Haridwar to Kasi and finally, Bangalore. But wait, she’s not even his girlfriend, yet. The next moment, he’s on a whirlwind tour of India, girlfriend (Samantha) in tow, in search of his roots. One moment, we are thinking the hero (Mahesh Babu), distraught after his father’s untimely death, will take on the mantle and keep the family together. The director doesn’t know what he wants to really convey with all these good people. But till the end, there’s no explanation why they’re all so good. The film starts off by introducing all the “manchi” people in this huge, and “manchi”, family.
So much so, it makes us want to ask, Addala garu, we get it. So much so, you can’t help but root for the hero’s first love, Kasi (Kajal) who dumps him, unable to cope with his saccharine sweet forever-happy family. And Brahmotsavam takes this indulgence to the next level - it’s about values, values, values and oh, more values.
You saw glimpses of it in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. If that’s not syrupy enough, there’s ample use of pretty people smiling all the time their prettiness further amplified with all those glossy filters. Think very large, very happy families, living in palatial homes, doling out lengthy dialogues on family values. Its the introductory song featuring Mahesh and nearly 500.
