After the success of ‘Bedurulanka’, Kartikeya came up with a new film ‘Bhaje Vaayu Vegam’. Prashanth Reddy has directed this film, which has Iswarya Menon as the female lead. UV Concepts ha backed the project. Let’s see how it fared in the review.
Story :
Venkat (Karthikeya) is an orphan whom lost both his parents during his childhood itself. His father’s friend (Tanikella Bharani) adopts him and raises him along with his own son Raju (Rahul Tyson). The brothers move to the city to become a cricketer and software engineer, respectively. One day when their father fell seriously ill, Venkat resorted to betting for money to treat his father. He wins but gets cheated badly. The brothers rob the car of David (Ravi Shankar), the man behind the mafia. They strike a deal, but things go upside down as the cops in the state go after the brothers. What is in the car? Who are the people behind the mafia? How did Venkat save his father? This forms the crux of the story.
Performances:
Kartikeya is apt in the role. He, as a powerful youth who takes a lot of risks, did well in the film. Kartikeya is impressive especially in all the action blocks. He also emotes wellI. Iswarya Menon did a little role, but the twist that she is involved in amazing and ends the first half with a bang.
Ravi Shankar, who plays the main villain, did very well in his role. Happy Days fame Rahul Tyson makes a comeback, and he gets a meaty role and has equal space as that of a hero. Rahul suits his role well and displays food emotions. Tanikella Bharani is underutilised and he brings ahis experience to the fore even in limited scenes.
Highlights:
Kartikeya
Twists And Turns
Tight Screenplay
Second Half
Drawbacks:

Analysis:
Director Prasanth Reddy came up with smart writing. Though the story is a familiar one, the way he has added drama and thrills with very engaging screenplay makes ‘Bhaje Vaayu Vegam’ a gripping narration. The first half takes its own time to.establish characters and to set the stage for proceedings. But, the twist towards interval alerts the audience and is executed very well.
The second half, has gripping drama and thrills, which make the film quite interesting.The way the twists are are executed draws the audiences attention and holds the interest till the end. Though the heroine is involved in a major twist, her track looks weak. Climax too could have been handled well.
Radhan has composed the songs, and they are just about okay. But the BGM, composed by Kapil Kumar, is terrific. Dialogues and Editing are adequate . The production values are top-notch. The camerawork displays quality.
Rating: 3.25/5
Bottom-line: Racy Action Thriller With Twists & Turns
