Trailer

Today, following a respectable round of promotion, the movie Baapu was released. After a while, well-known character artist Brahmaji took the lead. To find out if this poignant rural drama lives up to your expectations, read our review.

The narrative

In the Telangana village where Baapu is located, Chanti (Racha Ravi), a JCB operator who believes in buried wealth, hopes to settle down by using the gold idol he found to purchase two JCBs. But in a cruel turn of events, he loses the goddess idol. However, Mallayya (Brahmaji), a cotton farmer who struggles financially, lives in debt with his wife Saroja (Aamani), children, and father Rajayya (Sudhakar Reddy). We discover the fate of the missing gold idol and the reason behind Mallayya’s family’s plot to murder him as the narrative progresses.

Advantages:

A good treat will be given to viewers of Baapu who do not have great expectations. The plot of Baapu, which is set in rural Telangana, combines heartwarming feelings with thrilling components in an intriguing way. The story begins with an intriguing premise and develops nicely with respectable handling.

In order to let the viewer relate to the story and support the protagonist, the director envisioned a poetic ending. Baapu’s central message, What does not belong to us, and what we are not deserving of, will not ever come to us”—is well conveyed by the director by fusing it with masterfully written action sequences and poignant and humorous parts.

As always, Brahmaji comes up with a fine act in Baapu that is in contrast with his recent performances. He brilliantly portrayed a wide range of emotions.

Aamani also demonstrates her level of experience as a performer. Mani Aegurla, who played her brother, and Dhanya Balakrishna both give excellent performances that propel the narrative along, particularly in the poignant and humorous parts. The fame of Balagam Another significant highlight of Baapu is Sudhakar Reddy. His wonderful comedic timing captivates audiences. Srinivas Avasarala is a good fit for his position. Racha Ravi performed admirably as well.

Minus points:

Baapu has a good plot, but it could have been a more interesting film. The first half does not have a big impact, but there are several situations where the emotions really come through. The family’s plot to assassinate the father feels cheesy, and not all viewers will find it relatable.

The whole experience is diluted by the plodding, predictable parts that frequently seem forced. The love songs in the middle and the romantic track with Mani Aegurla seem superfluous. Eliminating these would have had a more powerful effect. With some parallels to the film “Bhagyalakshmi Bumper Draw,” which also featured a treasure search for a lottery ticket, the premise occasionally comes across as unoriginal.

Technical Features:

The tracks are mediocre, despite the good score by RR Dhruvan. Vasu Pendem’s stunning cinematography, which presents the rural Telangana environment in a natural setting and gives the movie a new and genuine vibe overall, is impressive. Alayam Anil, the editor, may have eliminated a few sequences that were not essential.

K Dayakar Reddy, the director, skillfully incorporates exciting elements into an emotionally charged rural story. He crafted an exquisite narrative and elicited exceptional performances from his actors. He could have, however, been more careful when doing a couple scenes that seem repetitive. Overall, he does excellent work.

Conclusion:

With a few exciting components, Baapu is an unimpressive rural family drama that aims to tell the heartwarming tale of an agrarian family. The film falls short of expectations due to its lackluster parts and superfluous segments.
