Rarely do I ever exit a theatre fully satisfied after watching a movie, and today was one of those days. Before I get into reviewing Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, I would like a answer a question many people ask me,why do I watch South Indians films? The answer is very simple this week I watched one big budgeted Hindi film, and two so called Hollywood blockbusters, but the film I enjoyed the most was the Telugu film I watch today, not to say South Indians film are better than rest but they for the most part make simple films, which instead of talking about huge issues tackle real issues like family values etc. And because there helluva entertaining, and they hit close to home.But enough of this bantering back to the review.
Bhale Bhale Magadivoy from the onset seems like your typical enjoyable romcom, and it is, but the way the Director especially has presented the film, its notches above any typical romcom. Bhale Bhale Magadivoy is entertaining feast, from the moment the film starts to the last moment, not only is the film a laugh riot, its a film thats so breezy that it feels like fresh air, there is never a dull moment. The characterization of the hero, the whole way the absent minded angle is played out is pure genius. Bhale Bhale Magadivoy in short was a very satisfying cinema experience, I just loved the film.
The film story is about a boy named Lucky who from birth is very absent minded, and not your regular absented minded person, Lucky is so absent minded that if he starts drinking tea, he will forget somebody was waiting outside to meet him. His memory is so bad that he makes his father, not meet his grandfather till his death bed because he forget to settle a quarrel. Now when Lucky grows up he like anybody his age obviously falls in love, but somehow by hook or crock he hides his memory problem from his lover.All is going well until he encounters the girls father, who knows about his problem, because he earlier had rejected him for his daughter in a arranged marriage proposal, because of his memory problem.The rest of the film is about how he ends marrying his lover,even though her father despises him.
Acting wise Nani is at his best, this is easily one of his career best acts. He is so entertaining to watch on the screen, his antic are hilarious. But I must say Murali Sharma steals the show in the film not only is his telugu perfect(he is a north Indian), his performance is also outstanding, in the pre climax he kills it. Lavanya Tripathi gives a bubbly act, and looks very cute. Special mention to Vennela Kishore in his special appearance he is hilarious.
Honestly I cant say anything negative about Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, because as a commercial entertainer, its actually pretty innovative in its story, and not for even once does film hurt your sensibilities and seem logic less, I mean being a commerical entertainer thats a big thing for a Indian film.I mean this film is no cinematic master piece at all but its nice to see a film, thats not got a heavy message, thats a very simple film, and that just tries to entertain. Its also nice to see a film which you can actually call a family entertainer, the film has no double meaning dialogues or dirty jokes, thats a rarity in comedies today.
Overall Bhale Bhale Magadivoy is not a pathbreaking film, it is however that one film you can watch again, and again.This is because its feel good film that always leave a smile on your face.Watch out for the two hilarious highlights of the film,the carom board scene, and the scene where Lucky encounters his girlfriends father at his house. Finally Bhale Bhale Magadivoy is probably the best Telugu film I have seen this year, behind Baahubali obviously, and that means a lot. Maruthi and Nani take a bow, a highly recommended watch.
4/5* or 8/10
