    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.

    much better than you would expect

    I went in to this movie not knowing much about it and i was pleasantly surprised by the story with which we can easily connect, the presentation and times it is based on, and also the set and cinematography.. acting is spot on for the most part and the twists towards the end are unpredictable and very well placed the pace of the movie could have been a little better and they could have cut it short by about 20 minutes.

    Rest everything is great about this brilliantly made movie.

    REPEAT I went in to this movie not knowing much about it and i was pleasantly surprised by the story with which we can easily connect, the presentation and times it is based on, and also the set and cinematography.. acting is spot on for the most part and the twists towards the end are unpredictable and very well placed the pace of the movie could have been a little better and they could have cut it short by about 20 minutes.

    Rest everything is great about this brilliantly made movie.

    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'.

    Twists and Turns: Navigating Complexity in the Engaging Drama of Mangalavaram

    This film unfolds with numerous twists right from the outset. While these twists offer excitement and entertainment for the average movie lover, many of them tend to be predictable. Despite their predictability, the twists manage to captivate the audience's attention and maintain engagement throughout the movie.

    The narrative introduces a plethora of characters, contributing to the suspense and prompting spectators to harbor doubts about each one. However, as the plot progresses, the significance of several characters diminishes, creating a sense of confusion. The performances in the film, although not at their peak, are sufficiently competent given the complexity of the character ensemble.

    For viewers opting for an Over-The-Top (OTT) platform, it is recommended to experience the film with a high-quality music system, as the background score serves as the lifeblood of the movie. Overall, it qualifies as a decent one-time watch, providing a good source of entertainment and a few unexpected turns, even though the abundance of characters may lead to some confusion in the plot.
