The film hit the theatres on May 30.
Plot:
The story revolves around two friends, Varada (Nara Rohith) and Gajapati Varma (Manchu Manoj), they are supported by Varada’s right hand man, Seenu (Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas). Happenings in their lives that throw questions over their loyalty under changed circumstances. The plot thickens when powerful politician (Sharath Lohithaswa) enters the fray, leading to interesting developments. How the plot is connected to Varada’s grand mother Nagaratnamma (Jayasudha), Gajapati’s wife Neelima (Aanandi), Varada’s wife Poorna (Divya Pillai), Seenu’s love interest Vennela (Aditi Shankar), CI Partha Sarathi (Sampath Raj), Naga Raju (Ajay) , police Sundarachari (Vennela Kishore), form the interesting developments.
Performances:
Bellamkonda Sreenivas shines in his role, showcasing variations in his mannerisms and dialogue delivery. He transformed his look for the role and surprised everyone with his body language, intensity, and powerful expressions and emotions in the second half. His performance in high-octane action blocks is noteworthy, especially in Jathara sequence.
Manchu Manoj elevated the scenes with his intense performance, delivering dialogues powerfully. However, his role is unidimensional, and his mannerisms and dialogue delivery often reminded viewers of his father Mohan Babu. Nara Rohith shed a few kilos for his role and sported a different look. He performed with much-needed aggression, and his screen presence is a treat on the big screen.
Reast of the cast, Jayasudha, Aditi Shankar, Aanandi, Divya Pillai, Ajay, Sampath Raj and Vennela Kishore did a commendable job according their characters.

Analysis:
Director Vijay Kanakamedala handled Bhairavam as a commercial entertainer with impressive performances from the lead actors, especially Bellamkonda Sreenivas. The film’s action elements, BGM, and production values are noteworthy. Apart from the impressive cast, Director Vijay’ handling of emotional elements and powerful climax worked well. However, the predictable plot, and slow narration are areas that need improvement. Overall, it’s an enjoyable film for fans of commercial entertainer.

The music and tunes rendered by Sricharan Pakala are decent. The cinematography of Hari K Vedantam gave a realistic feel, showcasing the village atmosphere in a rustic and natural way. Chota K Prasad’s editing tried to make the flow of the narration.
Rating: 3/5
Bottom-line: Raw & Rustic Intense Emotional Drama
