So, I saw Bhaagamathie yesterday. I'm giving it 5 stars only for Anushka. The movie was rubbish. The only reason I watched it is because Anushka was starring in it. I love watching her in warrior princess roles. This was something like that. Well, there was a warrior princess. It's a one time watch, only if you want to know what the hell is going on in the movie. The trailer was quite intriguing.
Chanchala IAS played by Anushka is accused of murdering her boyfriend. She was the personal assistant to Minister Eshwar Prasad played by Jayaram. The CBI wants to nab the minister for fraud or something and decides that Chanchala is the best person to help them. They take her to an old, possibly haunted house (god knows why) for interrogation. They leave her locked up in that house at night, because apparently there's no way she could escape, right? They also leave two constables outside to guard her. Anyhoo, mysterious things begin to happen and she gets thrown around and beaten up by invisible forces and soon enough becomes possessed by the ghost of the queen of the house.
If you haven't watched the movie, *** DON'T READ ANYMORE; SPOILERS AHEAD*** Ending was a variation of The Usual Suspects. She used clues around her to make up a story and pretended to be possessed by Bhagamathie or pretend that she has a split personality disorder or something. Point is, nearly all of it was her doing. Here's my problem- the first time she showed that she was possessed, she was dressed in Bhaagamathie's sari. But merely 2 minutes before, she was dressed in her kurta and pants. Not possible. Then there was her attacking the doctor who came to examine her. The table had a ridiculously long table cloth. That was so the awesome scene of her transforming could happen. WHHHYYYYY?????? There were so many things in the movie that didn't make any sense with the ending we were given. Her bag of stuff was what someone gave her. It couldn't have the wires she needed to make it so that things were moving around on its own. There was one scene in the end when Asha Sarath's character finds one wire attached to a chair. The movie just pretended that was an explanation for everything we saw. It was not. What about the doors closing? Or her being pulled back into the room? Her ability to hit people so hard that they flew across the room? Where did she get identical substitutes for the stuff the exorcist left in the house? EEEGGGAAAAD!!!
If the writers had paid a little bit more attention, this would've been a good movie. There were just too many unanswered questions for me.
