What Is the Story About?
The story of Bombhaat revolves around an unlucky guy Vicky (Sushanth) also credited as Wiki for some reason. Right from his birth, his parents and people around him think that he brings nothing but bad luck.
Under such circumstances, Vicky develops an unlikely friendship with a professor named Acharya (Shishir Sharma). How his words of wisdom provide hope, and his encouragement to love changes the life of Vicky forever is what the movie is all about?
Performances?
Sai Sushanth Reddy playing the role of Vicky lacks the look and the body language required for the character. Of course, we don’t have a proper definition to say how an unlucky guy looks, but he seems rather chilled out about the predicament instead of fleshing out the trait. Given his casual dialogue delivery lacking any intensity, maybe things like that are too much to expect. There is nothing else to talk about Sushanth as he lacks in the essential skill of emoting.
Analysis
Raghavendra Varma directs Bombhaat. The story of the film is very thin. It required watertight screenplay and crazy, quirky scenes executed sharply to make it work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen.
The elaborate opening sequence after the voice-over by Sunil makes things clear. Well, the ‘voice over’ itself makes things apparent for that matter. It is too in-your-face when we look at the movie’s fate eventually.
Still, going ahead, much of the screenplay is filled with scenes showcasing the bad luck. It might be fun in parts, but the forever extension of the same via the dialogues makes it irritating. Sadly, there is no relief in other sub-plots as well.
The whole mad-scientist angle could have been a thrilling affair in a capable director’s hand. Here it is as silly as it can get. The other track involving a goon coming after the professor’s daughter is much worst. Basically, one doesn’t have any respite from the terribleness from any angle.
The proceedings go on and on with more silliness adding to it. The introduction of the second heroine and how the whole thing pans out shows the director and his team has put no effort at all to make an engaging affair. What we get is kindergarten level scenes for entertainment and tacky Hollywood copies for sci-fi parts.
The ending makes the whole thing seem never-ending, as it goes on for a long time. The sheer predictability and silly execution make the entire viewing experience unbearable. It is if one can reach that point, though.
Overall, Bombhaat is a silly movie containing a ridiculous premise and executed in the most childish way. There is nothing in the film content-wise that can be liked. In short, it is a forgetful affair from the start to the end. If we were to go by the core plot of the flick, then all we have to say is that only those who are unlucky will watch it.
Other Artists?
Chandini Chowdary is seen in another low to medium budget film where she has some part to play. But, it is the same ‘part’ or in a similar space across those movies. Chandini Chowdary breezes through the proceedings as it is what she has been doing since ages with little variations.
Simran Choudhary gets a different character, but ultimately it is used for the typical commercial elements that a heroine gets picked for. There are a couple of action scenes, and she is right in them.
The rest of the cast comprises of known faces who are also proven actors like Tanikella Bharani, Shishir Sharma, Priyadarshi, Vineet Kumar, Makrand Deshpande etc. But, none are able to rise above the mediocrity.
Music and Other Departments?
If there is one thing to mention positively regarding the movie, then it is the music by Josh B. They don’t work as standalone audio, but within the narrative, they stand out due to the shoddy work all around. The cinematography by Sathish M Lasa is below par. The editing by Goutham Raju is okay. The writing is substandard. And its effect is compounded to the viewer due to the dubbing of certain characters.
