Athidhi 2023 is a Telugu horror series that feels like a cheap quality school project. Even Youtubers are releasing better content than this.

The series follows the eery incidents that ensue on a rainy night as a strange woman knocks on the door of a mansion where a man lives alone. The plot is predictable and unoriginal, and the scares are few and far between.

The acting is also subpar, and the characters are underdeveloped. The director, Praveen Sattaru, seems to be more interested in creating a suspenseful atmosphere than in telling a compelling story.

Overall, Athidhi 2023 is a disappointing horror series that is best avoided.

Here are some specific things I didn't like about the series:

The plot is full of holes and makes no sense.

The scares are predictable and unoriginal.

The acting is subpar and the characters are underdeveloped.

The director seems to be more interested in creating a suspenseful atmosphere than in telling a compelling story.

I would not recommend this series to anyone, even if you are a fan of horror. It is a waste of time.

I got bored in starting 5 mins of 1st episode that was my mistake, but after that I could move my eyes from the screen, loved it

Episode 2 was very interesting as it has two separate story because of which I was trying to compare this webseries with "Darna mana hai" a Hindi movie and again I was wrong.

And the episode 5 and 6 turned the movie story totally which was unpredictable for me.

Just want to know about the girl shown in the starting who keeps on tease the visitors on the road.

Waiting for the 2nd season eagerly.

Would recommend everyone to watch this webseries if you have everything thing like comedy, suspense, storyline..

Hats off to director magic wand. The 6 enemies (kama Krodha,lobha, mOham,madha &matsalya)which is embedded in us should be annihilated at any cost,is well depicted.. more desires will lead to more disaster is vividly seen in this film..God gives ample opportunities to rectify our mistakes.but due to our ego we are getting vanished. The concept of karma is implicitly portrayed..All characters are perfectly aligned to each &every actors of this series. Each&every segment of this series is interesting &inspiring.. it induces the thrilling aspect in each &every episode..once again my heart felt greetings &wishes to director sir....it is an eye _opener to all generations..

Attempts to draw "inspiration" from a lot of other popular movies and shows in this genre, but fails miserably to entertain. The plot is very predictable, and the climax makes you regret the time you have invested into this show.

The acting is generally good, but inconsequential considering the weak plot. The sets have been neatly done and are believable with some decent cinematography. Venu Thottempudi was certainly the centre of the plot and has done a bang on job with acting. Ravi Verma was great in his role as well.

I'm glad tollywood is attempting to make horror mysteries, but unfortunately this show just doesn't cut it.

"Athidi" is an outstanding web series that weaves together various genres - horror, suspense, comedy, thriller, mystery, and romance - into a captivating and entertaining storyline. Our family recently embarked on a binge-watching journey with this show, and we were hooked from start to finish. What sets "Athidi" apart is its ability to cater to a diverse audience without resorting to excessive gore or in-your-face horror. Instead, it masterfully employs a slow and intriguing buildup of suspense and mystery, keeping viewers engaged until the very end. This approach makes it a perfect choice for family viewing.

Avantika's portrayal of Maya is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to convey a wide range of emotions and keep viewers guessing about her character's true nature is praiseworthy. She is the linchpin of the series, adding depth and intrigue to the overall storyline.

Venkatesh, as a comic relief character, injects humor at just the right moments, balancing out the intense scenes perfectly. His comedic timing is spot-on, and his character adds a delightful sense of humor to the show. His chemistry with the other cast members, especially Maya, contributes an extra layer of entertainment.

Aditi Gautam's acting prowess also deserves recognition. Her performance is commendable and plays a pivotal role in the storyline's development.

In summary, "Athidi" is a must-watch for anyone seeking a well-rounded and engaging series that encompasses multiple genres. It's a rare gem that can be enjoyed by the whole family without compromising on quality. The slow, suspenseful buildup, Avantika's stellar performance, Venkatesh's comic brilliance, and the overall intriguing storyline make "Athidi" a top recommendation. So, gather your loved ones, grab some popcorn, and immerse yourselves in the captivating world of "Athidi." You won't be disappointed!

If you are a suspense or a horror fan this series is a must watch for you. All the episodes are packed with new twists and turns and no matter how much you try to speculate the end, it will take you by surprise. A true delight to watch with good cast, engaging story-telling and packed with horror plus suspense.

Also, the direction of movie is good. The director has tried to make each frame count, which keeps the viewer stuck to the screen. Overall, I loved the actress who is playing the ghost in the series, phenomenal acting.

One notable thing in the movie is, although filled with horror and suspense, the movie does not keep the theme of the movie static. And the storyline dynamically changes in every episode to conclude beautifully and uniquely in the end..

A really nice binge watch with a good element of horror, suspense, comedy, thriller, mystery, romance and intriguing storyline. I enjoyed the fact that I could watch all the episodes with my family and we finished the series in one go. Also, liked that it did not show too much gross or gory scenes and was not in your face horror. The slow buildup of suspense and mystery in the series is too good and till the end it maintains that. Avantika has played the role of Maya extremely well. Venkatesh has provided good comic relief and is quite funny. Aditi Gautam has also acted well. Overall a must watch!!!

Watched a good show after a long time. Venu acting is a feast for eyes. "Athidhi" weaves a chilling narrative that grips your senses from start to finish. This series masterfully blends psychological horror with heart-pounding suspense, making it a gripping watch. The characters' depth and the eerie ambiance they inhabit draw you into their nightmarish world. With its hair-raising twists and turns, "Athidhi" constantly keeps you guessing. Character named "Savari" can be the most relatable character that gets struck in terrific situation and the comic sense of this character adds many points to the show.

Great moral for the series depicting how the 7 sins would leave an individual astray after the end of the individual's life and how those 7 sins are causing chaos and destroying our planet Earth currently. The whole cast and crew did a great job and if not for the moral of the story, I wouldn't have liked the whole series. The moral of the series is the core and that's the reason I liked the series. Hopefully, more such stories are taken into consideration since they are the Truth which are considered as myths by sinful demons nowadays. The cinematography, background-score, and story-telling method was perfect.
