All his scenes with Mahesh Babu and a particular scene featuring him and baby Akshara moves you emotionally. All her romantic scenes with Mahesh have been designed supremely well. Kajal looks and plays her NRI role supremely well and is the main stay of the first half. Samantha is superb in her chirpy role and her chemistry with Mahesh is just adorable. Jayasudha and Revathi are good in their respective roles. His mannerisms, attitude suits his character well and he does a brilliant job. Rao Ramesh is another attraction and gets a meaty role. He gels nicely amidst the huge star cast and is especially good during the emotional scenes. He looks like a dream and mesmerises with his performance. Mahesh Babu is undoubtedly the star attraction of the film. Rest of the story is as to how Mahesh takes things in hand and gets his family back on track and where does Samantha feature in all this set up. An unexpected incident takes place because of this issue and disrupts the entire family. He bursts out with anger and confronts Satyaraj. Twist in the tale arises when Rao Ramesh finds out that Mahesh is already in love with Kajal. To get even more prominence in the family, he decides to get his daughter(Pranitha) married to Mahesh Babu who is Satyaraj’s son. But one among the family, Rao Ramesh is always unhappy with the way he is always under the shadow of Satyaraj. The story of Brahmotsavam is quite simple and is based on Satyaraj and his joint family. Let’s see whether it lives up to its expectations or not Directed by Srikanth Addala and produced by PVP Cinema, this film has released all over amidst huge fan fare and hungama. Moral of the colourful story: A montage of beautiful visuals (Rathnavelu’s brilliance), lots of happy people, and frequent song and dance routines may be the perfect ingredients for a ‘brahmotsavam’, but the end result needn’t necessarily be a good film.Starring : Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha, Pranithaīrahmotsavam is Mahesh Babu’s biggest release till date and has been waited with beated breadth all over. Rao Ramesh, as usual, gives a stellar act, but what’s the use? Everyone else does what’s expected. Honestly, we’ve seen so much of this fawning over Mahesh’s fabled good looks that it’s boring now, especially when you go as far as to make a little kid ask him if he’ll marry her. For much of the film, he is just hanging around, smiling and looking pretty. Sadly, you don’t get to see enough of that. That one shot where he paces up and down, with pain, confusion and despair on his face, all at once, gives you a peek into what Mahesh can do as an actor. Mahesh Babu’s performance in the pre-interval sequence is the best part of the film.
Nothing really happens, except that somewhere along the way, hero realises he loves heroine. The hero goes around meeting extended family (we never know why), and keeps hopping from Nagpur to Solapur to Haridwar to Kasi and finally, Bangalore. But wait, she’s not even his girlfriend, yet. The next moment, he’s on a whirlwind tour of India, girlfriend (Samantha) in tow, in search of his roots. One moment, we are thinking the hero (Mahesh Babu), distraught after his father’s untimely death, will take on the mantle and keep the family together. The director doesn’t know what he wants to really convey with all these good people. But till the end, there’s no explanation why they’re all so good. The film starts off by introducing all the “manchi” people in this huge, and “manchi”, family.
So much so, it makes us want to ask, Addala garu, we get it. So much so, you can’t help but root for the hero’s first love, Kasi (Kajal) who dumps him, unable to cope with his saccharine sweet forever-happy family. And Brahmotsavam takes this indulgence to the next level - it’s about values, values, values and oh, more values. You saw glimpses of it in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. If that’s not syrupy enough, there’s ample use of pretty people smiling all the time their prettiness further amplified with all those glossy filters.
Think very large, very happy families, living in palatial homes, doling out lengthy dialogues on family values. Movie Review: With Brahmotsavam, Srikanth Addala has tried to deliver a Sooraj Barjatya experience to the Telugu cinema goer. Synopsis: Addala garu, we get it… the world has a lot of good people.
