Bhagyanagara Veedhullo Gammattu (2019) Movie Review

A comedy movie is always a treat to watch. With the ensemble cast and Srinivas Reddy at the helm of affairs and the teaser and trailers showing the promise, does it live up to the expectations?



Bhagyanagara Veedhullo Gammattu is a 2019 comedy film directed by renowned comedy artist Y.Srinivas Reddy starring Srinivas Reddy, Satya, Shakalaka Shankar, Vennala Kishore and maybe atleast 50% of the comedy industry including Jabardasth artists.

The story revolves around Swatrantra kumar (Vennala Kishore) who challenges that he would catch hold of the drug dealers which is increasing in Hyderabad and three short film makers who are desperate for money. I can understand what the film wanted to be and how good it could be but it failed to reach its ultimate potential.

The lead trio Srinivas reddy, Satya and Shakalaka Shankar have a done a very good job with the kind of acting they had to do in the film. Their most hilarious bits come in the Rasgulla episode(MORE ON THAT LATER). Vennala Kishore gets special mention for the best bits of the film(THUG LIFE MOMENTS TOO GOOD). Other cast(THERE ARE TOO MANY NOTED ARTISTS TO MENTION) too give okay to good enough performances. The heroine though maybe the least impressive in the whole bunch.

The major issue with the movie is its screenplay and direction. Srinivas Reddy's inexperience shows as most of the movie until the rasgulla episode just went flat, dull, generic and boring(IT'S A CRIME IN A COMEDY MOVIE). But, the ultimate saving grace is the Rasgulla episode. All actors in the movie come together with their comedy timing on point to give a hilarious climax to otherwise a bland comedy film. But, only if the rest of the movie was good.

The music is not worth mentioning. The editing, even if it is sharp it could not save the movie from being a little more interesting. The production seems low but they gave their best to deliver something good with the material.

Overall, as a comedy movie lover (COMEDY > HORROR) it is a disappointment for me. I would recommend this film for those who love comedy films the most(IT'S STILL DULL, BUT THEY WOULD GET MORE FROM IT). It's a far better watch on TV than in the theatres. So, if you wanna watch this movie on OTT, its a timepass but you know the deal. Zero expectations, brain in the freezer.

I hope this bunch of actors would come with a better script and with complete comedy timing.


My Rating: 4.5/10
