RAM is the name of the hero - he is the son of an orthodox pandit - but he gets selected to portray RAVANA in a production being staged in his village - he delivers a superlative performance as the chief antagonist in the hindu epic - but what if he decides to actually decamp with SITA - will he be able to lead a customary life with her - will the emotional villagers ever accept the bitter fact that RAVANA is just a vile character in a play and not a debauched man in real life - do watch #Bhavai in cinemas - mainly for #PratikGandhi - he is amazing - the other actors too have done well - the music is good. Rating 3.5/5.

Exceptional performance of Prateik as Ravan
AHooda-B-Hills4 July 2023
"Bhavai" is a distinct Bollywood film that dares to step away from the beaten path. It presents a fresh perspective on the Ramayana through the eyes of its 'antagonist', Ravan, whose role is wonderfully brought to life by Prateik Gandhi.
Prateik Gandhi, who gained fame with his compelling portrayal in "Scam 1992," truly shines in "Bhavai." In the story, he joins a drama company where he is assigned the role of Ravan. This gives him the opportunity to delve deep into the complexity of this character, and he seizes it with both hands. Gandhi's performance as Ravan is exceptional, mesmerizing audiences and leaving an indelible mark.
"Bhavai" cleverly utilizes the setting of a drama company to unravel the intricacies of Ravan's character, challenging conventional notions and encouraging viewers to think beyond the binary of good and evil. This unique narrative approach combined with Gandhi's captivating performance makes for an engaging cinematic experience.
In conclusion, "Bhavai" is an intriguing film that offers something refreshingly different in the realm of Bollywood. With an inventive storyline and Prateik Gandhi's impressive portrayal of Ravan, it carves a niche of its own. It may not be flawless, but it's certainly a worthwhile watch for those seeking an unconventional film experience. Its exploration of character complexity and narrative innovation is commendable, marking a step forward in the evolution of Indian cinema.

Bhavai is an extra ordinary movie with brilliant plot

I liked it the plot and story line is just something extraordinary. Beautifully enacted by Pratik Gandhi and other cast. Social message is delivered brilliantly. Also it depicted the ground realities of the Indian village and people residing.
Simply worst

Bad Choice Pratik, Sorry.
chetukhaire27 October 2021
Movie is a pure gem, but got catered to dogmatic audience and dogmatic audience is khacchar. These won't understand the beautiful message conveyed by the movie. They only know to act sentimental (cause they're mental and do not use the gift they have).
Your decision for this movie is great, but it should have been released in south industry, where truly quality content is appreciated. Here, audience is pseudoreligus.
Releasing it in Bollywood was a bad choice.
The storyline and screenplay is perfect. The length of movie and songs according to the different situations are correct and complementary to each other.
This pure love story with Pratik Gandhi's fabulous acting and Ashutosh Rana's negative character acting, adding up the background score and you get a true love story movie.
I will recommend this movie, only to those who are intelligent enough to see the truth, without being dogmatic.
The one who watches this movie, while understanding it, will have a blissful experience.

What the hell is this ?
anirudhagupta0123 January 2022
As I cited in my past review, Bollywood can't make a movie on prophet but can make fun of Hindu gods.
In the scene When Ravan talking to Ram. The fact is 100% manipulated. Look like Script writer and director were sleeping when they need to study the facts. Might be they do it on purpose.
I am giving 1 star, Most of Bollywood movie end up as propaganda rather than research.

Worst Movie ever, I will suggest no one to watch this movie as it is completely waste of time
shubhrankpatna24 October 2021
This movie is not worth to watch also this movie is completely anti Hindu and the motive of the film makers is to defame Hinduism. They are just trying to modify aur Hindu culture by glorifying Ravan and defaming Lord Ram.
outstanding acting!!!!narrow mindedness!!
riteshmohanty-2908728 October 2021
Thats an awesome acting by pratik gandhi,what an marvellous actor he is!!!!!!!,he played an antagonistic role in such a beautiful way that no one can excel it!!!! This movie is also a phenomenal job done by the whole cast and crew members.its a best example of how some people are blindfolded by the religious beliefs and dont even trying to understand the fact that totally differs from it.hats off to the creativity of directors and writers who give an outstanding effort to convey people about the real things.
Worst ever

Movie shows that how politicians use religion to gain votes and whosever is not agreed to theirs teams they just sent goans to murder him. What people need to understand is explained in movie how people provoked by politicians and ready to kill anyone in the name of religion. Well as wholesome it is awesome and reflect specially present situation.

This movie promotes violence in the society, this movie will be seen as hatred.
An attempt has been made to humiliate a society, we all should boycott this movie so that such a movie is not made in future.
Bollywood which is known all over the world for good movies is losing its reality, we should not watch this movie and should boycott it.

So, why you are making such film which is neither related to our past nor beneficial for present and for future generations. There was no need of making this types of films. And true Indians will never accept this films
Instead of this you should making films on Shree Ram or on any revolutionary freedom fighter. There were more than 7.5 revolutionary freedom fighter forgotten.
You should learn from ss raja moli who made films which are related to our culture and our freedom fighter like Bahubali, Bahubali 2 and rrr(rise, rore.

Worst movie ever ,boring no twist or turns.
vermaroopa2 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Just a waste of time because character don't have determined desires. Simply they expecting some one come and help them.moive don't have a story line .they shoot what they want . Nothing research. They also don't tell background of characters or something about their personality. Simply let start where we want.they are making thing joke .they repeated several time same shooting place not even proper conversation between main leads. It must be flop although they carrying a social evils propaganda. But it is just not enough to make a movie.very bad movie i just waste my time on it .
I highly recommend not watch it. Hope they will do better next time .
