How Did ‘Aarambham’ Turn Out?

Despite the challenges faced by smaller films in today’s market, “Aarambham” managed to capture attention with its intriguing trailer and unique concept. However, the film’s lack of A-list stars placed the burden of success squarely on its narrative and execution.

“Aarambham,” a time travel thriller directed by Ajay Veeti, stars Mohan Bhagat as Migil, a prisoner sentenced to death. The film opens with Migil’s daring escape from prison mere hours before his execution. Enter Detective, played by Ravindra Vijay, tasked with solving the seemingly impossible jailbreak. A diary found in Migil’s cell by a fellow inmate (Lakshman) becomes a crucial piece of evidence.

The narrative introduces a scientist, Bhushan Kalyan, living in seclusion and conducting experiments on time travel. Migil becomes an unwilling participant in these experiments, given the opportunity to rewrite his past and potentially change his fate. The core plot bears resemblance to the previously released “Oke Oka Jeevitham” starring Sharwanand, but “Aarambham” struggles to capture the same level of audience engagement.

While the film boasts decent technical aspects, the screenplay suffers from a slow pace in the first half, failing to fully captivate viewers. The second half experiences a welcome increase in tempo, but ultimately falls short of delivering a satisfying conclusion. The pre-climax offers some intriguing twists, though budgetary limitations become evident. The director’s choice to narrate the story in chapters creates a sense of confusion rather than enhancing the narrative flow.

The performances by the cast are adequate, but “Aarambham” requires a significant investment of patience from viewers due to its pacing issues. While the film’s core concept held promise, the execution fails to meet expectations.

Is Mahesh Going To Stop Making Public Appearances?

Superstar Mahesh Babu might not be highly active on social media but he occasionally posts pictures of him working out or family clicks. He even attends events as a part of brand endorsements. As his movies take a very long time to get released, these public events and social media posts are the only things that make the fans happy.

But it looks like Rajamouli is going to take that away as well. It is well known that Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli are working together on a globetrotting adventure drama. The pre-production works are going on right now and multiple workshops are being conducted before going to the shooting stage. Sources say that Rajamouli has planned a special look for Mahesh in this pan-world film.

Apparently, he wanted to keep the look under wraps and Mahesh obliged to it. This clearly indicates that Mahesh will not be seen in public a lot like before. We have seen him with long hair and a beard already and fans are hoping that all of this will result in Mahesh getting a pan-Indian success.

SS Kanchi, Kalyani Malik, Rama Rajamouli, Karthikeya and a few other family members of Rajamouli will be working on various departments as well. MM Keeravani is composing the music. As we know, it is a globetrotting adventure drama set in the backdrop of Africa. Vijayendra Prasad is the story writer for this movie.
