Movie Analysis & Review

Director Maruthi is making a movie that’s a mix of horror and comedy which is what he did before and it was a big hit. This time Director Maruthi is trying to do something by adding fantasy and psychology to the movie. Director Maruthi wants to take the people who watch the movie to a different world instead of just telling a simple story that everyone has seen before.

The first part of the movie is pretty slow. It takes its time to introduce the characters. It is funny in a light-hearted way. Sometimes it feels like it is moving slowly but the humor that Maruthi is known for keeps the movie interesting. The twist that happens in the middle of the movie makes you want to know what happens in the part of the movie. The interval twist is really good at making you curious about the half of the movie, which is, about Maruthi’s movie.

The second half is where the main story of the movie really happens. The story itself is not totally new. The way it is told feels new. The end of the movie is really good. It is long, intense. Has a lot of interesting ideas. The movie does not just use the old ideas that you see in other horror movies like exorcisms. The horror parts of the movie are connected to the characters minds and feelings which’s a nice change, in Telugu cinema. The horror elements and the psychological parts of the movie fit together well which makes the movie feel fresh. The core story of the movie is what makes it stand out.

The movie could have been done better. If you look away for a while during the second part you might get confused because this film needs you to pay attention the whole time. Maruthi deserves credit for trying something different, with the movie.
