Bloody Daddy (2023)
Amazing Thriller
A Amazing Movie By Sahid Kapoor . This has Amazing Storyline And Chandoo Mondeti of Karthikeya, Premam and Savyasachi fame debuts on OTT with Bloody Mary (written by Prashanth Kumar Dimmala) - a film that wants you to believe it's cleverer than it really is. What starts off as a crime thriller soon turns into a commercial hotchpotch and before you know it, you're watching cool slow motion shots while wondering where all this is heading.
The way the story unfolds in the beginning, you truly wonder how this trio has managed to survive this long by themselves. Certain decisions they take make no sense, especially from people who're used to fighting for survival. What is appreciable however is that Prashanth doesn't use the trio's conditions to garner sympathy. He however expects you to suspend disbelief a little too much as the film progresses, especially when everything is based on happenstance, and instead of peeling back the layers on the enigma that is Mary through smart writing, he decides to give her the 'mass hero' treatment. Mary's face-off scenes with the CI sees her do things that are usually reserved for her male counterparts in the industry - which is refreshing - but the ending doesn't have the desired effect. By the time Sekhar babu (Brahmaji) - Prabhakar's foe - enters the fold, it's all chaos.
Bloody Mary falls short of being a complex and grey film because it doesn't go the extra mile to tell a novel story. To Chandoo's credit, his direction is top-notch, so is Karthik Ghattamaneni's camerawork, Kaala Bhairava's music and Viplav's editing. The length of the film is perfect for the genre. It's only the basic story penned by Prashanth that you wish could've been smarter because it proves to be the film's biggest downfall. Nivetha and Ajay shine in their roles. The film depends a lot on these two giving their best and they do, even if the role is a cakewalk for the latter. Rajkumar, Kireeti and Brahmaji are good too, but they don't get the scope to perform.
The OTT has given filmmakers the scope to tell unique stories, irrespective of whether they have the desire effect or not. Bloody Mary is one such film. Watch it this weekend without expectations if you like crime thrillers. Just don't expect something logical.
