A masala movie that has scope for mass moments, Bairavaa struggles with tone and pace and fails to do justice to its star. The film’s writer and director, Bharathan, dresses up his average guy versus powerful individual story as an issue-based film, but instead of telling this story in swift strokes, he narrates it in leisurely fashion, robbing the film of energy, which is crucial for a mass hero film.
The plot revolves around Bairavaa (Vijay), a loan recovery agent in Chennai, who falls in love with Tirunelveli girl Malarvizhi (Keerthy Suresh), who has come to the city for her friend’s wedding. When he is about to propose to the girl, he learns about her predicament — PK (Jagapati Babu), a butcher-turned-rowdy-turned-bigshot in her home town, is after her, for taking him to the court for the murder of her friend. Bairavaa decides to step in and save her and her fellow students who are trapped in PK’s educational institutions.
