Synopsis:

A remote village in the heart of a tropical rainforest begins to see a sequence of incomprehensible happenings that they ascribe to the paranormal approximately half a century ago. This corresponds with the arrival of Vikrant Rona, an eccentric police officer. A bizarre game is being played in which everyone in the town is both a potential victim and a suspect.

Review:

The story opens with a gripping opening that reveals that a town is experiencing some strange happenings. The film is structured like a bracket, which means it begins with suspense and finishes with the secrets disclosed.

Throughout the film, you have the urge to know more, and there is no sense that the film is wasting so much time. Although the first half of the film was slow and attempted to establish the film’s premise. It is also a moment when a viewer may become puzzled about what is going on, although the second half of the film is quite intriguing.

In the end, some of the revelations may surprise you, while others will strike an emotional chord in your heart. The film is capable of eliciting both shivers and tears. In sections of the film, you will wonder whether Kiccha Sudeepa is a hero or a villain, all your curiosity with come to rest in the climax.

As a South film, it does have certain action sequences that appear unreal, but this is to be expected. Aside from that, it is vital to watch this movie with a little focus in order to connect the dots and comprehend the ending.

Concerning the film’s music. The film contains some pretty wonderful songs, particularly Ra Ra Rakkamma which have an influence on the audience. However, too many songs left the viewers dissatisfied.

Vikrant Rona was unquestionably Kichcha Sudeepa’s show. His acting did capture our hearts. He made it more attractive and crisp by expressing every feeling in a minimalistic manner.

When it comes to Jacqueline, her involvement was more of a cameo in which she handed Vikrant some information on a smuggler. Concerning the other characters, the villagers who played supporting roles did an excellent job of making the narrative seem realistic. In short, Vikram was always in the spotlight. The antagonist of the film performed admirably, and the actual revelation came as a surprise to us.

In terms of technical qualities, the film succeeds in engaging you at various points. It is a 3-D film, which makes it more difficult for the creators to meet the expectations of the public, and amazingly, Vikrant Rona succeeded in giving you the 3D sense that a viewer desires.

Final Verdict

If you like thriller dramas, you will enjoy this film. As a spectator, I feel you will not be dissatisfied with your decision of spending money on this film. Although it is only a one-time viewing, it is worth a chance.
