Remake Of Tamil Thriller Gurupaarvai

[ravisinger86 · 6/10 · 14 December 2016]

Bhairav Directed By T.L.V.Prasad is An Action Thriller. It is Remake Of Tamil Movie Gurupaarvi Starring Prakash Raj. Each And Every Frame is Same Except Few Changes. Direction Is Poor Compared To Tamil Version. Screenplay & Script is Good.

The Film Begins With Pooja. Her Pic Is in The Newspaper Claiming Pooja Died Year A Ago. Pooja After Reaching To The Sources, Comes To Know Bhairav (Mithun Chakraborty) Girlfriend Died Year Ago Was Her Look Alike. After Few Incidences Bhairav Finally Seduces Her. They Decide To Get Married But The Day Before Their Wedding, He Foists Prostitution Charges On Her & She is Arrested.

Bhairav is in Fact A Mechanic. Shanti (Inrani Haldar), A Petty Thief, Steals Money To Bring Up Her Two Nephews. She Befriends With Bhairav And He Accommodates Her. They Both Fall in Love And Shanti is Renamed Sonali By Bhairav. They Get Married At The Register Office and Shanti Signs Under The Name Sonali.

One Day, Bhairav Cancels The Wedding Of Girl Named Sonali And He Claims To Be Her Husband, To Prove It, He Shows His Marriage Certificate. His Wife Shanti Doesn't Understand Why He Behaves Like A Sadist And She is Ready To Leave Him. Bhairav Ultimately Tells His Bitter Past.

In The Past, Shankar(Bhairav) Despite Being A Young Gold-Medalist Graduate, Was Unable To Find A Work. He Lived With His Mother, His Sister And His Grandmother. His Neighbour Priya Daughter of Shankar's Landlord Fell in Love With Shankar. She Decide To Live With Shankar Without Getting Married. Shankar Had A Chance To Get A Job in A Bank If He Passed An Exam. The Day Of The Exam, He Inadvertently Lost His Hall- Ticket. In The Meantime, Pooja, Sonali and Indhu Were Attack By The Rowdy Nageshwar And They Killed Him Accidentally. The Police Pressured Them, They Found Shankar Hall-Ticket At The Crime Scene And They Blamed Him. Shankar Was Immediately Arrested, Nageshwar Brother Kaali( Punit Issar) Killed Shankar's Entire Family And Priya. Shankar Was Sent in Jail For 7 Years And Kaali Fled To Ooty. Kaali Changed His Appearance, His Name And He Became A Successful Businessman.

Shankar Seeks Kaali and Indhu. Kaali is Now Married to Indhu and They Have A Girl. The Rest Of The Story is How Bhairav Takes Revenge.

Mithun Does Well Especially In The Scene Where He is Unable To Find His Hall-Ticket. Indrani Haldar, Razzak Khan Are Funny. Punit Isar As Usual Loud & Evil. Music is Below Average By Surinder Sodhi. None Of The Song Are Catchy. All In All One Time Watch For Thriller Elements.

Mithun's Typical B grade film

[superindrajit · 3/10 · 24 November 2012]

Mithun Chakraborthy was a brilliant actor from the 70s. He gave brilliant performances, acted in brilliant films, chose his films wisely. Even the 80s was good as hits followed and the critically acclaimed Wardat(sequel to Superhit Surkasha from 1978) released and became a superhit. Other multistarrer hits like Illaka and Watan Ke Rakhwale followed. Even some of his mainstream Bollywood films from the 90s like Pratigyaband, Kranti Kshetra, Aadmi and a few others followed. But suddenly, Mithun's films started flopping and after giving disasters like Shatrang, Jeevan ki Shatrang, and the washout Teesra Kaun, Mithun moved to Ooty and would only do films around there. This is when Mithun started doing B grade style films. These movies would contain bogus and nonsensical scripts, mindless south style action, and not to mention useless worthless garbage actresses. There would be some crude content and worthless item songs(songs would be garbage). Mithun had a record 200 films and out of these 200 releases 5 or 6 were hits while most were flops and disasters while some did average business.

Bhairav is the same done to death typical B grade action movie where there is an overdose of violence, crude comedy and stupid dialogs. The movie is what Mithun had started doing after his shift to Ooty in 1995. His comeback to the mainstream was Elaan from 2005. Bhairav has probably one of the most typical stories of all these crap films. Rakesh Pandey has been employed, suddenly he is accused of murdering a girl, and he gets sentenced for some years. The stupidest part is the evidence makes no sense, it isn't enough to throw a man into prison. When he is released, he take revenge and kills the villain who is Jindal(Puneet Isaar). The film is so typical, so bloody typical it isn't worth watching. If you want to watch a decent Mithun movie watch Dance Dance, Disco Dancer or even his debut Mrigaya. I would also recommend a few of his movies from this nonsensical period. Jallad from 1995, Gunda from 1998, and even Hatyara from 1998 to an extent. Bhairav doesn't offer much, at the end of the day its the typical Mithun style action with B grade action moves and pop goes the villain. Don't expect much from this one it is another low budget disaster film from 2001.
