Kairam Vaashi reviews "Bhairathi Ranagal," the latest Kannada action drama from director Narthan starring Dr. Shiva Rajkumar, which serves as a prequel to the 2017 hit film "Mufti." This ambitious narrative attempts to explore the origins of the titular character, revealing how a principled lawyer transforms into a feared gangster fighting for his people.

The film follows Bhairathi Ranagal (Shiva Rajkumar), whose journey from a young activist to a powerful mining territory defender unfolds against the backdrop of water scarcity and labor exploitation. Kairam Vaashi examines how the film answers questions left unanswered by "Mufti," while analyzing its strengths and shortcomings in character development and narrative progression.

With impressive production values including Ravi Basrur's restrained musical score and thoughtful visual symbolism, "Bhairathi Ranagal" marks Narthan's return to the world he created seven years ago. Kairam Vaashi discusses the film's textbook setup, its effective callbacks to "Mufti," and how it ultimately falls short of its predecessor despite Dr. Shiva Rajkumar's commanding presence.
