‘Baapu’ movie review: Brahmaji shines in a tepid narrative that sparkles occasionally

The Hindu  

The premise of Baapu - A Father’s Story seems compelling on paper, but translating it into an engaging film is another challenge altogether. While the film remains committed to its core conflict and boasts seasoned actors like Brahmaji, Aamani, Sudhakar Reddy, and Dhanya Balakrishna delivering solid performances, it only shines in moments and often meanders without sustaining interest. Baapu Director: Dayakar Reddy Cast: Brahmaji, Aamani, Srinivas Avasarala, Sudhakar Reddy Runtime: 120 minutes Storyline: A farmer’s family has to find its way out of debts and thinks the solution lies in the death of one of its members. The film shines when it leans into black comedy, particularly when the family devises a scheme to claim government aid of five lakh rupees — granted only upon a family member’s death.
