Director Shiva Nageshwara Rao is known well for making films those revolve around money. His movies ‘Lucky Chance’, ‘Money Money’ and all fall under same category. Now with ‘Bhukailas’ he has again chosen the theme around money.

Story:
Kailasam (Venu Madhav) is an illiterate from a village who lives as milk vendor. His old parents (LB Sri Ram and Geetanjali) are more attached to his son. Bujji (Suhasini) is Kailasam’s niece who loves him since childhood. Kailasam lives in poor background but suddenly he encounters a Swamiji (Rallapalli) who foretells his future stating that he would become a multi millionaire.

Following that, the Ring Road proposal comes into discussion and government lays that road through this village. Thus, almost every one in the village becomes rich and Kailasam’s land of 2 acres will be sold out for Rs 100 Crore. Then the kick that money gives was shown till the end. Kailasam forgets his parents, ignores his love on Bujji and leaves for Hyderabad. Knowing his foolishness Manickyam (Tanikella) approaches him and says that he would make a film with him as hero. Ali comes as director and starts making the film ‘Desa Pokiri’. Meanwhile a politician also comes into picture. Then what happens? How Kaillasam corrects his mistake. When he starts loving his parents and niece? That falls as rest of the theme.

Performances:
Venu Madhav could have done better comedy. Pathos didn’t gel well with him. He tried to showcase his dancing talent and the attempt is appreciable. Suhasini is really good and photogenic. Her performance is impressive. Gowri Mumjal appears only in a dream song. Mumaith Khan has little role to play other than acting for a song. Sunil’s comedy is below average as Inspector Bhaya Nayak. Brahamanadam, who acted as Danger Das, is also not used completely. Krishna Bhagawan’s dialogues are good and still better rack might have written for him.

Srinivasa Reddy’s camera work is good and impressive. Graphics (while Ali narrates story to Venu Madhav) deserve a mention. Title song is good. Especially the line ‘Soda thaagalenodu koththa Skoda car konnadu..’ tickles the ribs.

Director Shiva Nageshwara Rao used all the current affairs relating to Real Estate. Even the auction of Balapore laddu is used as a scene. On a whole, the director has shown hiccup to maintain depth in comedy till the end. Lack of Treatment is clearly observed in it.

Analysis:
First half of the film runs with humor while second half goes with humor and sentiment at the last. The film obviously boosts up expectations due to Real Estate elements in it. People expect many things and come to theaters. But expectations may not be reached.

The theme chosen for the film is really excellent. There is ample scope for comedy and incessant hilarity till the grand finale. But the director made it pale on a whole although there are a few scenes those bring laughs. It is certainly a better film that his previous film ‘Photo.

There is better scope for this film in B, C centers when compared to A.
