Bethaludu Movie Review: Vijay Antony, who gained immense popularity in Telugu with the film ‘Bichagadu,’ is now starring in his latest movie ‘Saithan.’ This film has been released in Telugu under the title ‘Bhethaludu.’ Vijay Antony, known for choosing unique stories, has once again come before the audience with a different concept. Let’s dive into the Bethaludu Movie Review to find out how well this film has reached the viewers!
Bethaludu Movie Story:

Bethaludu Movie Review:
The first half of the movie solely focuses on the mental agony experienced by the hero, which stretches on without advancing the story significantly. Despite this, the engaging nature of the first half allows viewers to enjoy the film.
In the second half, the flashback does not meet expectations and is presented in a rather ordinary manner. The last half-hour of the second half is dedicated to the main storyline envisioned by the director.
In today’s medical landscape, drugs are tested on humans rather than animals for developmental purposes, especially in India. The film explores how injecting drugs into a brilliant individual without their knowledge affects their brain condition. This leads to the hero developing a mental disorder. The story revolves around how he overcomes this and saves his life. The director took considerable time to reveal this point, and unfortunately, the second half did not hold the gripping quality of the first half.
Vijay Antony’s performance is a major asset to the film. He excellently portrays three different shades of his character: as a patient, a normal employee, and the person named Sharma who emerges after drug injections. Arundhati Nair also delivers a good performance. The cinematography fits well with the story, and Vijay Antony’s music is a significant plus for the film. Particularly noteworthy is the background score for the song ‘Jayalakshmi,’ which stands out as a highlight. The background music enhances every scene, and the editing work is well done.
If the screenplay of the second half had been tighter, the film might have been even better. Overall, while Vijay Antony’s film ‘Bhethaludu’ did not meet all expectations, it has managed to impress to a reasonable extent.
