By Susmita SameeraBeauty opens with a simple yet meaningful message: the world is filled with beauty—in nature, flowers, women, and the many forms of family and love—and that happiness lies in appreciating it rather than destroying it.The story follows Lakshmi (Mahalakshmi), a devout woman who performs her duties at a nearby temple while teaching Bharatanatyam to children. She is admired by Vishnu (Ravikanth Poojary), an alcoholic who persistently follows her, hoping she will accept his love. Running parallel to their story is the arrival of a new guru and his two disciples, who set out to establish an ashram. As they prepare the premises for a ritual, they repeatedly discover dismembered body parts over three consecutive days, prompting a police investigation. The mystery deepens as every witness offers a different account of the culprit—some claim it is a male ghost, others insist it is a female spirit, while some believe a deceased child is responsible. Amid the confusion, the investigation begins to connect with Lakshmi and Vishnu, raising questions about whether a family of ghosts is behind the murders or if someone is merely using supernatural beliefs as a disguise.While the murder mystery forms the backbone of the narrative, Beauty also attempts to blend family drama, romance, and social commentary. At its heart, the film explores how a single tragic incident can shatter the lives of people who were once living peacefully. The premise generates enough intrigue to sustain interest, but the execution struggles to balance its contrasting tones. The shifts between humour, emotional drama, and suspense often feel uneven, preventing the intended emotional impact from fully resonating.The cast delivers sincere performances, making the most of the material they are given. On the technical front, the cinematography and songs complement the film, though both carry a distinctly old-school aesthetic that may not appeal to every viewer.Overall, Beauty is an earnest attempt at combining a murder mystery with family drama and an emotional message. Although its tonal inconsistencies limit its effectiveness, viewers looking for a sentimental family drama with elements of mystery and a meaningful underlying theme may watch.
