Kollywood film Bun Butter Jam which released in Tamil Nadu on 18 July 2025 is now releasing in Telugu on 22 Aug 2025. The film's OTT rights are yet to be inked. Let us see how the film impressed viewers in Telugu.
Bun Butter Jam story revolves around two mothers and their plans to marry of their daughter and son and how this inturn changed the youngsters' lives. Lalitha (Saranya Ponvannan) and Uma (Devadarshini), mothers of Chandru (Raju Jeyamohan) and Madhumitha (Aadhiya Prasad) have grand plans for the children.
What are those plans, how Chandru's father Kumar (Charle), Chandru's senior (Vikranth), Nandini (Bhavya Trika), A-Kash((VJ Pappu) are connected to the proceedings form rest of the narration.
Raju Jeyamohan, the newcomer, performed well, showcasing his talent. He showed variations in his expressions and emotions according to the situation. He delivered dialogues with ease as a son, friend, and lover.
Bhavya Trika is impressive in her role and looks good on the screen. Aadhiya Prasad increases interest levels and curiosity among viewers with her role. Michael Thangadurai is good in the role of a friend, while Saranya Ponvannan and Devadarshini did well bringing their experience to the fore in the roles of the elders. Charlie is good in the role of the father, while others performed according to their roles.
Bun Butter Jam story is penned by Suresh Subramanian, while it is directed by Raghav Mirdath. The film is a youthful entertainer, and Raghav, with the scenes and the screenplay, tried to attract the Gen X viewers. He filled the entire first half with youthful elements and concentrated on highlighting the emotions in the second half. The overload of emotions in the second half slowed down the tempo, and it could have been done away with.
He starts the narration in a predictable manner, offering nothing much with the senior actors, mothers discussing routine things. The start of the film doesn't excite anyone. Youthful elements take off from then on, but the dialogues regarding the generation gap and the comedy scenes regarding it turn out to be just ok. The first half finally ends setting the tone for the second half.
The second half fares little better , with few scenes working out. However, overall, many scenes failed to make an impact, bringing a monotonous feel to the proceedings. Most of the scenes looked forced, and the expressions also turned out artificial with the passage of time.
Director came up with the story based on the love, marriage and relations and thought process involved in it and tried to generate fun around it. The point looks interesting but he could have expanded the same in a more exciting manner on the screen. He should have added more scenes revolving around friendship, breakup and relations.
Nivas K Prasanna added flavor with his music and tunes. The songs are in sync with the storyline. He made an impression with his background music. The editing of John Abraham is ok, but could have been better in a few scenes. Babu Kumar added value to the scenes with his cinematography, with colors and camera angles. Dialogues are ok, and production values are good.
Atogether, Bun Butter Jam turns out to be another run-of-the-mill youthful flick. For all the efforts of the director Raghav Mirdath and story writer Suresh Subramanian and sincere performances, the film very little entertainment to the viewers. The story has few elements to impress family viewers and youngsters. One can enjoy if they don't bother about the logics. Had Raghav worked on the story and screenplay and included more youthful, entertaining and exciting elements, things would have been different. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Bun Butter Jam.
