Bewars

Movie Story: Lucky(Sanjosh), is nicknamed Bewars for his aimless attitude to life, by his father with whom he has regular squabbles about following his passion in becoming a pilot. However, things turn tipsy topsy when Lucky finds out that his sister(Siri) has commited a suicide, albeit suspiciously.

Movie Review: Lucky is an aeronautical engineering graduate, jobless and and equally aimless while wiling away his time with friends. His equation with his father isn't quite rosy, for his dependence on his father's and sister's income. Lucky is made to forcefully join a UPSC coaching institute where he falls in love with Aaradhya (Harshitha), daughter of the institute's chairman. His sister's(Siri) suicide comes as a rude shock to the youngster. Given the suspicious nature of her death, he sets out to find the truth and hunt the real culprit behind her death. Aaradhya (Harshitha) meanwhile respects mother-nature, this contributes to her interest in collecting plastic waste and creating art out of it. She works as a part-time teacher at her father's coaching institute after being impressed by Lucky's persistent attempts to woo her.

Bewars is a pointless ride, a story that always deviates from the main plot and confuses the viewer until the end. Refusing to move beyond the age-old template of a typical Telugu commercial film, the director Ramesh Cheppala fails to construct even a single sequence that appeals to a viewer. Though the movie focuses on the main plot in the pre-interval portions with the suicide of Siri, there's no effort to sustain that seriousness and emotion at all in the second half. Too many unnecessary sub-plots turn out to be a major roadblock to the main plot. Stalking is yet again glorified in the name of love. Despite boasting of many prominent actors in the film, the director doesn't have any clue in channelising their experience or talent.

It's only Rajendra Prasad who gives a few moments of relief for the viewer, besides hummable tunes by Sunil Kasyap. However, having marketing Rajendra Prasad as the prominent face of the film, the plot doesn't do justice to his acting credentials. A story that could've been narrated like a 30 minute short film is unnecessarily stretched across two hours. The biggest drawbacks of the film are its amatuer performances and pointless dialogues of the hero Sanjosh. And the role of the heroine Harshitha is completely futile for the story where she's seen only in a couple of songs. The lead character for the entire story Siri, is shown in poor light until her death. Bewarse is 140 minutes of boredom that turns out to be an excruciating experience for the viewer. The movie is as aimless as its lead protagonist.
