Bichagadu Movie Review

Story:-

Arun Selva Kumar( Vijay Anthony) is a multi-millionaire who heads back to India to look after his family business. During his visit to one of his factories, his mother accidentally gets hurt and goes into a coma.
An upset Selva, consults all the renowned doctors in India but they fail to do anything. One fine day, he stumbles upon a swamiji who tells him that if he turns into a beggar for forty eight days, his mother will recover soon.
Left with no choice, Selva decides to become a beggar. How does he go about begging ? What are the incidents that take place once he starts begging ? and will his mother manage to recover ? All these questions manage to form the crux of the story.

Plus Points:-

Credit should go to director Sasi for writing an unique story like this. Vijay Anthony does a superb job in both his roles. Especially, the variations that he has showcased in the beggar’s role in quite entertaining. All his begging scenes with the heroine are entertaining and have been designed well.

Newbie Satna Titus makes an impressive debut and plays her supporting role quite well. The fun that is generated through all the beggars group is hilarious and evokes good laughs. Interval block and climax have been handled extremely well and showcase some meaningful dialogues.

Dialogues written are meaningful and elevate the proceedings well. Vijay Anthony’s music is decent but the re-recording that he has done is quite endearing. Camera work by Prasanna Kumar is impressive as all the scenes showcasing Vijay Anthony as the millionaire are shot wonderfully.

Coming to the director Sasi, even though he has chosen an interesting theme for his film, the way he has executed major scenes without much conviction is a bit disappointing.

Verdict:-

Bichagadu is not the regular masala film which you generally come across daily. Even though the performances, story and comedy manage to elevate the film in certain areas, lack of emotional depth in the concept and conviction in crunch scenes makes this film a below average affair this weekend. Watch it at your will.
