==Plot==
Bhavani ([[Sneha (actress)|Sneha]]), an honest police officer in Hyderabad, is posted as Assistant Commissioner of Police in Tirunelveli upon the request of the Tamil Nadu government. The town is controlled by Sivalingam ([[Kota Srinivasa Rao]]), a baddie and aspiring politician who indulges in all unlawful activities. Bhavani resolves to put an end to all his acts. Meanwhile, Surya ([[Sampath Raj]]) voices against Sivalingam. As it happens, Sivalingam's son Ranjith ([[Aryan (actor)|Aryan]]) plays spoilsport in the life of Bhavani's sister Deepa (Yasmin Khan). Efforts to prove him guilty by Bhavani end in vain. Now, a conspiracy is hatched by Bhavani in the company of Surya, and Ranjith is killed. An enraged Sivalingam takes Bhavani head-on. Sivalingam vows vengeance, and what happens from there forms the rest of the story.

==Development==
The film began production as ''Bhavani IPS'' before the title was shortened to ''Bhavani''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2011/mar/14/bhavani-ips-235279.html|title=Bhavani IPS|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><ref name="A" /> Sneha plays the tough police officer in this movie. Sneha will have a look to suit the character. She learned stunts to do stunt scenes in the film and has done bike-racing chasing scenes. She did her stunt scenes on her own for this movie and got hurt too many times. The shooting started in Tirunelveli, and the filming was canned for 25 days continuously and the second schedule took place in Chennai and the third in Hyderabad. The film was shot within a short span of 65 days. The film was shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu, with [[Brahmanandam]] starring in the Telugu version. Reports claiming that [[Manoj K. Jayan]] was part of the film proved to be false. The Telugu version failed to have a theatrical release.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.yahoo.com/news/bhavani-ips-march-4-20110303-022125-555.html|title=Bhavani IPS on March 4?|website=www.yahoo.com}}</ref>

==Release and reception==
''Bhavani'' was released on 11 March 2011 after a week from the scheduled release date of 4 March 2011 due to financial problems.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/64745.html |title=Friday Fiesta 110311 – Tamil Movie News |publisher=IndiaGlitz |date=10 March 2011 |accessdate=2012-08-05}}</ref> The movie opened to mixed reviews of critic praising [[Sneha (actress)|Sneha]], for her performance as "It is a Sneha's show all through.

As the movie got a good response from the audience, the director has planned for a sequel with a fresh script. Sneha, who is overwhelmed with the response, adds, "It was because of my director I accepted Bhavani since I was initially apprehensive about going for an image makeover. For the sequel, I would take time off and prepare myself before actually getting into action." However the sequel failed to take off.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/64828.html |title=Sequel to 'Bhavani' – Tamil Movie News |publisher=IndiaGlitz |date=14 March 2011 |accessdate=2012-08-05}}</ref>
