Story:
Brahmanandam (Raja Goutham) is a self-centered wannabe theater artist who lost his parents in early life. With ambitions to become a star on stage, he is financially stable but depends on loans and help from his buddy Giri (Vennela Kishore).
On the other side, his paternal grandfather, Anand Rao Murthy (Brahmanandam), lives in an old age home, but Brahmanandam hardly remembers him. When a job with prestige comes to him to establish himself as National-level theater artist, he requires ₹6 lakhs to bring it into reality.
Despite her love for him, Tara (Priya Vadlamani) distances herself after realizing his selfishness. At this turning point, Murthy offers to sell his land to help his grandson but sets certain conditions.
What are these conditions? What challenges await Brahmanandam in his grandfather’s village? The film unravels these questions with gripping twists.
Review:
Brahmanandam makes a riveting performance as Murthy, equalling humor and deep emotion at the same time, making the character both funny and lovable.
Vennela Kishore’s razor-sharp comedy timing adds so much to the film, particularly in his segments with Brahmanandam, which are complete showstoppers.
Raja Goutham proves his worth by being capable of handling both comedy, drama, and dancing, while Priya Vadlamani brings about charm and class to her portrayal.
The supporting actors, such as Divija Prabhakar, Rajeev Kanakala, Sampath, and Bharani, leave a strong impression, lending strength to the story.
The movie begins with a good start, engaging the audience with Brahma’s quest through a gripping setup. But once the story shifts to the village, its pace becomes sluggish, losing the overall momentum.
Although the movie offers great acting and emotional nuances, the emotional bond between Brahmanandam and Raja Goutham’s roles becomes unconvincing. This lack of depth dilutes the impact of their friendship, which is the core of the story.
The twist in the interval is effective, and a couple of comic moments in the second half fit well into the narrative. Nevertheless, the climax is hasty, not making a lasting impact. Some supporting characters are also underdeveloped, and some of the important moments lack depth to connect on a deeper level.
Director RVS Nikhil does a good job of capturing the emotional overtones, but the script could have been more exciting. Sandilya’s background score is what adds to the mood of the film, and the production values are impressive.
Overall, Brahma Anandam has a touching story, good performances, and some comedy moments. Its slow pace and uneven narration hold it back from being a truly memorable film.
