Featured reviews
Compared to when this movie first came out in the year 2009, I do think that it's quite the gem.
This movie features a female lead without all of the romance. Looking at the priorities of the main lead was quite refreshing (compared to some movies where the female lead tends to rely quite a bit on the male lead).
The plot and acting of all the characters is probably one of the best. It was one of those rare times where the villain impressed me as much as the main character.
The VFX and graphics weren't as impressive but the plot and characters should be more than enough for that to be overlooked.
I would recommend watching this if you want to find an intriguing supernatural story with a fantastic female lead and villain.

I see it as a grand and heroic horror film!
It could be a strongly unforgettable horror film for many, but I watch it recently (yes I'm so late for this I apologize).
The story, casts, and crews deserve all possible recognition. The second time I watch it, I just realized that it's not only about 'good defeats bad', but also about how Jejamma sacrificed herself. What a sweet entry scene of hers and what a strong ending she did. Anushka makes her top performance earlier back then.
Along with fine script, make-up, and props, its' good editing make the filmis satisfying to be watched.
Pasupathi was the creepiest. Allow me to be "too much", but his characterization is still relatable in today's condition - human's obsession is creepier and more dangerous than ghosts. Sonu Sood is a gem and a potential on-screen villain that people love anytime.

No doubt, its an heart throbbing movie.These type of movies are rarely seen. Because this movie discusses the concepts of Aghora's, yogi's and agony of evil spirits. The visual effects makes these stuff more interesting.
The screenplay of this movie thrills the audience. Sound Effects are really good. The performance of anushka has to be appreciated and she suits well for the character of jejamma(Queen). Anyway, the actual show stealer is Sonu sood(pasupati). He has done an excellent job. Even though he appears only for some time on screen, but he did his best part as aghora as a villain. The rendered voice for this character is P.Ravi Shankar has to be awarded.Thanks for the whole unit of ARUNDHATI for making such an magnum opus movie which presents some idea on above mentioned things.

This film is a testimony to the up onwards rise and superstardom of Anushka Shetty in the South Industry. The biggest blockbuster which holds so many records. Till another 5 years wasnt broken, it broke the patriarchy in the male dominant eccentric telugu industry to a great extent . The performances were top notch . Must watch a badass performance from Anushka. Even after so many years it still has a very speacial place.
The producer of the movie made this movie around 10 years back; he didn't any movie after that. What a great lover of movies. He made movies only if he love the story.
