Bhaje Vaayu Vegam is a 2024 Telugu-language action thriller directed by Prashanth Reddy and produced by UV Creations. The film stars Kartikeya Gummakonda, Iswarya Menon, Rahul Haridas, and Tanikella Bharani in pivotal roles. Set against the backdrop of Hyderabad, the story follows Venkat (Kartikeya), an orphan adopted by a kind-hearted farmer, Bharani (Tanikella Bharani), who raises him alongside his biological son, Raju (Rahul Haridas). The brothers move to the city to pursue their dreams—Venkat aspires to be a cricketer, while Raju aims for a corporate career. However, their plans go awry, and they end up in odd jobs: Venkat becomes a bettor, and Raju works as a valet driver.

The plot thickens when the brothers discover their father is suffering from a life-threatening illness. Desperate to fund his treatment, Venkat places a high-stakes bet on an IPL match but is cheated by a bookie. This leads the brothers into a dangerous web of political crime involving local kingpins David (P. Ravi Shankar) and George (Sharath Lohitashwa). The narrative takes a thrilling turn as Venkat and Raju find themselves entangled in a high-stakes chase involving a missing stash of money, which the antagonists urgently need.

The film is praised for its gripping twists, emotional depth, and well-choreographed action sequences. Kartikeya delivers a compelling performance, portraying Venkat’s vulnerability and determination with conviction. The father-son relationship, portrayed by Tanikella Bharani and Kartikeya, adds emotional weight to the story. However, the film’s slow start and uneven pacing in the first half have been noted as drawbacks.

Bhaje Vaayu Vegam successfully blends action, drama, and suspense, making it an engaging watch for fans of thrillers with emotional undertones. Despite its flaws, the film’s strong performances and racy second half ensure it leaves a lasting impression.
