3BHK Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Dreams, Struggles, and Family Bonds

3BHK comes from director Sri Ganesh, who earlier made the films ‘8 Thottakkal’ and ‘Kuruthi Aattam’. The film features Siddharth and Sarath Kumar in the lead roles. The film is produced by Arun Viswa of Shanthi Talkies.  3BHK tells the story of a middle-class family consisting of caring parents (Sarath Kumar, Devayani) and their two children, elder son Siddharth and younger daughter Meetha Raghunath. The film focuses on their heartfelt journey to buy their own home, capturing the emotional and practical hurdles they face across years.

Directed by Sri Ganesh (of 8 Thottakkal and Kuruthi Aattam fame), the film aims for realism and succeeds in creating relatable moments that resonate across age groups. The premise is strong, and the visual promos created that emotional pull. However, the film struggles with a predictable storyline and underwhelming screenplay, which occasionally feels more like a web series than a theatrical narrative.

The first half slowly sets the tone, while the second half feels rushed. That said, certain moments shine, Siddharth’s inner conflict between academics, career, and love, or Meetha Raghunath’s quiet struggles with marriage pressure. Sarath Kumar’s character adds emotional weight with his professional setbacks.

Technically, the film is well-made with impressive cinematography and background score. Performances are a mixed bag — Sarath Kumar delivers a standout role, Siddharth is dependable, while Devayani has little to contribute. Yogi Babu and Panchu Subbu provide good support, and Meetha Raghunath offers a restrained but sincere performance.

Highlights include Siddharth’s scenes involving his love interest Aishwarya, and the surprise final credits featuring Yogi Babu. While some melancholic tones overstay their welcome, the film regains emotional balance toward the end.

3BHK has an emotional core that works in parts, it gently pulls you in, momentarily loses grip, but eventually finds its heart again.
