Director G Ashok's Bhaagamathie (also spelt as Bhagamathi/Bhagamati) starring Anushka Shetty, Jayaram and Unni Mukundan, has received positive reviews and ratings from viewers.
Bhaagamathie is a contemporary horror thriller with a twist, and director G Ashok has also written the story, screenplay and dialogues for the movie, which has been produced by V Vamsi Krishna Reddy and Pramod under the banner UV Creations.
Bhaagamathie story: Bhaagamathie (Anushka Shetty) is an IAS officer busy doing welfare works. During one of her visits to a village, she gets attracted to young leader Shakthi (Unni Mukundan) and falls in love with him. The twist in the tale is she lands in jail for some reason.
Some influential politicians occupy a palatial bungalow, which is haunted by the spirit of a lady. They get Bhaagamathie released from jail and put her in this haunted house. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

Analysis: G Ashok has chosen an interesting story and created an engrossing screenplay for Bhaagamathie. The first half of the movie is a routine romance drama and has nothing fresh to offer. The twist before the interval gives some momentum to the story. The second half is interesting, and some chilling moments make it a nail-biting watch, say viewers.
Performances: Anushka Shetty has delivered a brilliant performance, which is the highlight of Bhaagamathie. She is sure to stun you once again after Arundhati. Jayaram, Unni Mukundan, Asha Sarath, Prabhas Sreenu, Dhanraj, Murali Sharma, Thalaivasal Vijay and Vidyullekha Raman have done justice to their roles, and their performances are also among the assets of the movie, the viewers have said.
Technical: Bhaagamathie has brilliant production values. S Thaman's stunning background score, R Madhi's picturisation, Ravindra's art direction, bone-chilling special effects and dialogues are attractions on the technical front, say filmgoers.

#Bhaagamathie A revenge drama with good output from technicians (terrific BG score by Thaman and production design). Anushka shows her mark in some scenes. Malayalam actor Jayaram shines in the key role. Loopholes are aplenty, though.

#Bhaagamathie is fun, well-constructed conceit. Gets better and better as it progresses. Everything isn't what it seems. And Anushka is so good.

#Bhaagamathie was laced with some thrills, twists and turns.... which all worked to an extent. But all at end seemed logic less n forced. Aren't we tierd of watching extremely nice politician revealing to be a bad villain at the end plots ?

The Vincible @TheVincible
#Bhaagamathie : Revenge Political Drama with a weak story line. Anushka, CG &Thaman's BGM save it but a tiring watch over all. Coming from Pilla Zamindar's dir after 5 years, expected lot more . Nevertheless Makers & Anushka should be lauded for backing unconventional story
