About the Film

‘Bhairavam’ is a remake of the Tamil action drama ‘Garudan’. The narrative centers on three childhood friends—Seenu (played by Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas), Varadha (Nara Rohith), and Gajapathi (Manchu Manoj)—whose friendship is tested by themes of greed, power, and political intrigue in their rural village of Devipuram in Andhra Pradesh. The film artfully combines rustic action with emotional drama and mystic symbolism, relying heavily on the performances of its lead actors.

Social Media Buzz

In terms of performances, Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas delivers a more restrained and emotionally grounded portrayal compared to his typical larger-than-life roles. Nara Rohith brings a calm strength to his character, while Manchu Manoj makes a powerful comeback with a fiery and intense performance.

On social media, director Vijay Kanakamedala has been praised for effectively managing the ensemble cast and maintaining an engaging narrative, despite some uneven pacing. This feedback highlights the importance of strong direction and character development in enhancing audience engagement.
