Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati’s Telugu remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum hit the silver screens on the 25th of February. The film opened to largely positive reviews and it is likely to get off to a solid start at the box office. Scroll on to know three reasons why we believe Bheemla Nayak is better than the original. Or in other words, how Bheemla Nayak has bettered Ayyappanum Koshiyum in certain aspects.
Closure
The climax portion of Ayyappanum Koshiyum is one of its biggest letdowns. Everyone with an iota of imagination can anticipate that the film will end with a regular fight sequence and that is exactly what we are served, much to our dismay. But in the case of Bheemla Nayak, the ending is far more well conceived. Trivikram has modified the ending to suit the sensibilities of the Telugu audience and he got it right. The way the said modification is looped into the story itself is commendable. Ayyappanum Koshiyum had a cryptic and ending. But Bheemla Nayak has organic closure.
Mass elements
There is no denying the fact that Ayyappanum Koshiyum is a brilliantly written action drama with certain cinematic highs here and there. But in the case of Bheemla Nayak, a whole lot of emphasis is placed on the mass elements. The La la Bheemla song, lodge fight, the climax, and the opening exchanges all have mass-pleasing value. The mannerisms of the police officer character are modified, which is understandable, given that a top star like Pawan Kalyan is portraying the same. There are handful of whistle-worthy episodes spread evenly through the course of the film. To put that in simple terms, Bheemla Nayak scores well on the ‘paisa-vasool’ factor when compared to that of the original – Ayyappanum Koshiyum.
Background score
Ayyappanum Koshiyum has one of the finest soundtracks for any South Indian film in recent times. But given the kind of form Thaman is in right now, he has somehow managed to come up with a scintillating soundtrack, which comparatively betters that of the original’s. Thaman’s La La Bheemla trance music that is played while Rana is walking through a jungle is one of the most haunting soundtracks in recent times. It simply is as good as it can get. In Ayyappanum Koshiyum, the background score is more of a mellowed down one, but in Bheemla Nayak, the soundtrack is bolder. Let’s say Bhemla Nayak’s soundtrack gets 51 while Ayyappanum Koshiyum‘ a gets 49.
