    Would have rated 0 if there had been an option

    If you have a conscience do not even think of watching this movie I made this terrible mistake after looking at the rating But please if you value your time even a bit do not I repeat DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE the visual effects,editing,action scenes each and everything was downright ridiculous Do not buy into their trap They have very well worked on their gpt generated reviews,which is the only thing that has been done properly by the team of the movie. The director had absolutely no vision what he was trying to make,no amount of efforts could be seen by any cast member Infact These kind of movies should be reported.

    Great content

    The film revolves around a young man named Kalinga, who sets out on a journey to avenge the death of his father.

    The film is a visually stunning action spectacle with well-choreographed fight sequences and impressive visual effects. Dhruva Vaayu delivers a powerful performance as the protagonist, showcasing his athleticism and screen presence. The supporting cast, including Aadukalam Naren, Tanikella Bharani, and others, provide solid performances.

    However, the film's narrative falters in its predictability. The plot follows a familiar revenge story template, lacking the originality and depth that could have elevated it beyond a standard action film. The supernatural elements, while visually impressive, are not fully integrated into the story and feel somewhat tacked on.

    Despite these shortcomings, Kalinga is an entertaining watch for fans of action cinema. The film's technical prowess is undeniable, and the lead performance is captivating. However, those seeking a more nuanced and thought-provoking experience might find the film's predictable narrative and underdeveloped supernatural aspects to be a letdown.

    Here are some of the things that make Kalinga an entertaining watch: * The visually stunning action sequences and impressive visual effects.

    * The powerful performance by Dhruva Vaayu in the lead role.

    * The strong supporting cast.

    However, the film's narrative falters in its predictability. The plot follows a familiar revenge story template, lacking the originality and depth that could have elevated it beyond a standard action film. The supernatural elements, while visually impressive, are not fully integrated into the story and feel somewhat tacked on.

    Overall, Kalinga is a visually impressive action film that delivers on its promise of entertainment. However, its predictable narrative and underdeveloped supernatural elements prevent it from reaching its full potential.

    A Disastrous Cinematic Experience

    Kalinga is a prime example of a film that misses the mark on every level. From its lackluster performances to its nonsensical plot, this movie is a complete waste of time.

    The acting is over-the-top and cringe-worthy, with actors hamming it up at every opportunity. The unnecessary songs disrupt the flow of the narrative and add nothing to the story. The action sequences are poorly choreographed and executed, making them laughable rather than thrilling.

    The editing is sloppy and amateurish, with jarring cuts and transitions. The overall pacing of the film is uneven, with some scenes dragging on while others feel rushed.

    In short, Kalinga is a cinematic disaster that should be avoided at all costs.

    POOR STORY LINE

    The film begins with a strong story, presenting a good mythological tale, but as it moves on to introduce the main character, the pace becomes fast and unclear.

    The fragmented scenes are not well-organized, causing the audience to fail to grasp the purpose of each scene.

    I also don't understand why some people give positive reviews about this film. The story is indeed good, but it's not well-structured, leaving many questions unanswered.

    I hope reviews focus more on other aspects without viewing the film solely from a belief-based perspective.

    I just wanna make it clear that this film have potential but not recommended. Even the action its not entertaining.

    Poor acting, patched up story and generally a mess

    You don't expect to be disappointed with a movie with a 9.0 IMDb rating but this was an exception. Lot of people out there calling this movie "super" or "hit" and it baffles me.

    It's a very long movie and for 1.5hrs it goes absolutely nowhere. When the creature finally appears, it gets killed in 5 mins!!!

    They've tried to mix in so many elements that nothing shines through. There's the horror element, the mythology element, then there is romance angle to develop the character (but it's so half assed you feel nothing), then there is Linga's backstory which is supposed to be the thriller element and finally the story about the treasure.

    The background music in the climax had me scratching my head, I've never seen a movie that uses such an elaborate background score for the creature's entry and fight scene, yous generally want to use minimal background score to keep the focus on the creature, it was the exact opposite here.

    Overall, cheap wannabe movie with poor acting and a very mixed up story. Rather than watching the movie, go outside for a walk.
