Tapsee who is making waves in Bollywood has returned to Tollywood to act in a horror comedy Anando Brahma. She is known to pick the right subjects and the film has generated good hype. The trailer has also upped the expectations.
Let’s find out if this horror-comedy has lived up to the expectations.
The film is completely dominated by comedians. Although Tapsee is the central figure of the cast, she has a very limited role, almost like a guest appearance. She is okay.
Shakalaka Shankar mimicking various actors has done a terrific job. His performance is hilarious.
Vennela Kishore once again generates good laughs as a person who has hearing problem and night-blindness.
Tagubothu Ramesh’s comedy in the bathroom episode is the main highlight. In other roles, Rajeev Kanakala and Raghu Karumanchi impress
Srinivas Reddy has a hole in his heart and he has to laugh when he gets scared as part of reverse emotional therapy. These problems are used effectively to generate laughs when the ghosts try to scare these guys.
The film completely belongs to Shakalaka Shankar, Tagubothu Ramesh, Vennela Kishore and Srinivas Reddy as they make the episodes riveting.
Despite not so impressive first half, the second half comes as a surprise and is hilarious. The director has shown his grip and mark in handling the comic situations effectively.
On the downside, the film is a bit lengthy despite it having just 123-minute run-time. The flashback episodes of comedians are boring especially that of Srinivas Reddy and Shakalaka Shankar.
Overall, one can watch it for its comedy and second half. Among the recent horror comedies, this one is a bit different and has more laugh-out loud moments. It will appeal to audiences who are seeking some decent comedy.
