Virupaksha

"Virupaksha" is a glaring exception to the norm of supernatural thrillers being subtle and laid-back in their tone and approach. It's heavily commercialised with a love track, over-the-top fight sequences, and corny conversations, similar to other Telugu films, but what makes it stand out is that despite having a mainstream persona, the film never deviates from its premeditated objectives, which were to frighten and intimidate the audience, and trust me, it accomplishes these goals with finesse.

If you can overlook the obvious deficiencies, you will find much to admire. The writing is effective enough to evoke both fear and fascination for the narrative, which is rife with angst and anxiety that keeps you hooked and second guessing at every turn.

Virupaksha is an intriguing new movie that has certainly made a splash on the big screen. It tells the story of a man who is struggling to keep his family together during a tumultuous time. The performances by the cast are all top-notch, with the lead actor in particular delivering an amazing performance.

The cinematography is also excellent, creating a vivid and immersive atmosphere that keeps viewers hooked right from the start. The story moves quickly and seamlessly, with plenty of surprises and plot twists. The musical score also adds to the atmosphere, creating a great sense of tension and drama.

Overall, Virupaksha is an impressive and engaging movie that is sure to leave viewers wanting more. The story is compelling, the acting is great, and the visuals are stunning. It is an entertaining and thought-provoking film that is sure to be remembered for years to come. Highly recommended!

The reviews here are quite polarized, perhaps due to misplaced expectations, if one expects to find logic or romance in this movie, they'll be disappointed, also the core idea of the movie is copied from the Hollywood movie "smile" still, I personally found this as a very successful attempt to indianise that idea, the connect & suspense are maintained throughout the length. The story is captivating & apart from the core idea, it still has enough elements to keep one hooked to the screen.

Though this movie has copied the concept of "smile" it's more entertaining than the original one itself. The credit here goes to the Indian adaptation of the script, sounds effects, special effects & cinematography, the acting too isn't bad.

If one is against the very idea of movies with superstitious themes then they might not like it, but if one is open to seeing it just as a form of entertainment, this is a great watch.

Just finished watching this movie. OMG! I did not expect Virupaksha to be that good. It turned out to be a lifetime experience.

I usually don't like horror or supernatural films, but this movie is something tough to ignore. I came across Virupaksha many times and ignored it just by thinking it would only kill my time. But then after watching it, I loved every bit of this gem.

Sai Dharam Tej did a splendid job in the lead role. I never paid attention to him before, but after watching Virupaksha, I will look forward to his upcoming work. He can lead the industry if he carefully chooses roles. Samyuktha Menon was just ok. I was quite impressed by Sunil. Sunil played a very realistic character in this film, which is pretty unusual for him. Director Karthik Varma beautifully crafted the film.

Highly recommended.
