    One of the best thrillers

    Best cinematography, awesome BGM, Superb Movie. A good entertainer. Fight scenes wonderful. Story full of twists and turns. Great music as well. All characters performed really well. Setting of this movie creates a magic. Must watch movie. Special mention about the BGM score in the movie. The BGM sets the theme. The thrill and an extra ting of sexuality add spice for the audience. The audience will definitely get impressed by the music of this movie. The story is a little slow in the beginning but maintains pace till the end. Even the comedy is part of the theme and story of the move. All in all a full entertainment.

    Direction is definitely good n lead actress is brilliant!

    Definitely one time good watch! A suspense thriller that keeps one completely hooked up n the entire story revolves in a small village. First half an hour goes normal n post that intensity of screenplay is too good. Direction is fantastic in the second half. A different unique storyline. The lead actress turned victim is brilliant in acting. Originally Telugu movie avilable in Hotstar in all languages. My ratings 7/10!

    Your Prospective will decide whether you're gonna Like it's Concept or Not !

    At first let me tell something completely unbiased that Last 40Mins of this movie saved it from becoming an average movie in front of everyone. The Storyline peaked from last 40min to the very last post credit scenes ; everything was bone chilling over there. Your prospective will change suddenly during this period but again some people will discuss about some alternate ways to get that thing done with that girl's conditions as well ( You will get my point after watching this movie).

    The best part of this movie is it's Powerful BGM. WooW Those Music over there in this entire movie was spine chilling and treat to our Ears for sure. The Cinematography is extremely eye catchy with it's beautiful locations and remarkable camera angles. The Director was also pretty smart in showcasing that screenplay which people loves to watch. And most importantly the way our leading character performed in this entire movie is worth getting appreciation.

    Now let's discuss some Negative points regarding this movie. Although this movie peaked from Final 40Min and gave it a remarkable Ending with lots and lots of Twists and Turns still it failed to impress in the 1st half. It takes so many times to build the narrative of village and some silly things were happening in Villagers' lifestyle. The Screen writer wasted a lot of times in that part.

    Again the Story itself could have been better for our leading character and with her desires.. The introduction of the Ravi in later half could have been predictable but it felt completely illogical why the writer kept him hide till that point. And of course some more Horror Points could have been added to it.

    Overall a totally adult concept based movie and definitely not recommending to watch with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it and I'll consider it as an one time watch. And of course I'll love to wait for it's next installment as it End on a note as 'To be Continued'.

    A Pleasant Surprise

    Mangalavaaram surprised me in the best possible way. While initially expecting a typical storyline, I found myself pleasantly engrossed by its execution. The twists and turns were masterfully woven into the plot, keeping me in suspense until the very end.

    The characters were robust and strategically placed, contributing to the narrative's richness. I appreciated the absence of plot holes; every character's decisions felt justified and contributed to the overall coherence of the story.

    It was like solving a big puzzle, with each piece falling into place to reveal the grand picture. The final message resonated deeply with me, adding a layer of significance to the entire experience.

    In conclusion, Mangalavaaram is a testament to the team's talent and storytelling prowess. I eagerly anticipate their future projects, hoping for more of the same captivating brilliance.

    meh

    Alright, fam, let me lay it down for ya on this blockbuster mess I just peeped. So, the actors were straight-up killin' it, no doubt. They had me feelin' some typa way, you know? And them locations and sets, bruh, on point! Like, I was practically living in that flick.

    Now, the cinematography, fam, it was like watching art in motion. Those shots had me like, "Dang, did they hire a magician or what?" So props on that, no cap.

    Now, let's talk about this script. It's like they grabbed some random words from a hat and called it a day. And the background music? It is the real killer. Direction was straight-up mediocre. It's like they lost the map to a decent film and just winged it.

    Now, the lowlights, my dude. These slow sequences had me checking my watch more than the plot did. And the VFX? Man, it looked like they hired a toddler with a crayon to do that mess. Twists? More like turns into a dumpster fire.

    So yeah, if you're into movies that make you question your life choices, this one's a winner. Grab your popcorn and brace yourself for a rollercoaster of "meh."
