Base of Bapu – Story of a father Paper seems compelling, but translating it into an attractive film is another challenge. This indie-sparitted Telugu drama, which is written and directed by Daya, appears in rural Telangana, affected by a black comedy for a rollercaster emotional family saga. While the film is committed to its main struggle and provides concrete performance to experienced actors like Brahmaji, Aamani, Sudhakar Reddy and Dhanya Balakrishna, it shines only in moments and often without maintaining interests.

Sudhakar Reddy, Viewers are known as Balgam Thaha (Grandpa), plays Titular Bapu (Father). The initial views rapidly establish their routine, indicating on its growing forgetting disease subtle – a recurring design that carries the story forward at various junctions.

The son of the elderly man, Mallanna (Brahmji), and daughter -in -law, Saroja (Aamani), cultivates cotton on a small plot of land. With the crop coming close to the crop season, they are drowning in debt and they should surrender most of their earnings to money lenders. His son (Mani Agurala) struggles to meet as the driver of a dilapidated seven-seater auto, while her daughter, Varalakshmi (Dhanya Balakrishna), focuses on her studies, which to secure government jobs Hope

Bapu Takes time to find your rhythm. As the characters and their aspirations are revealed, the story is estimated, revealing large -scale expected lines. Romance subplots of young characters move parallel to the struggle of the broader family, but they add a little depth. The son’s love story lacks conspiracy, with a twist that is very clear, while the daughter’s romantic arc has deteriorated.

The film shines when it bends in a black comedy, especially when the family prepares a plan to claim government assistance of five lakh rupees – only on the death of a family member. The upcoming discussion about life, death, and their prophecy, brings very important engagement. There is also a secondary subplot involving the discovery of Golden Idol.

Rural Telangana’s setting, dialect, and slices-of-life depiction seems authentic, but there is a lack of liveliness of films like films like films like. Balgam Or Mallesham,

Bapu Strong performance is provoked. Often limited to supporting roles, Brahmaji takes the most advantage of his lead role, providing a measured and reassured performance – especially in moments where he wrestles with crime and affection for his father. Sudhakar Reddy brings spontaneous attraction in his role, while his face is reliable. Dhanya and Mani are capable of their limited parts, although Srinivas Awasarla has been reduced.

As the film is near its conclusion, the story like a lobe connects loose loops neatly, closing each character. Although the characters and their visits were excluded more deeply, the film must have been more compelling. instead, Bapu Like a short film, it seems that a two -hour feature is overstached, eventually a lack of emotional weight that wishes to carry it.
