      Anushka Shetty is fantastic, but the movie is average

      I am a big fan of horror movies, and really like some classic ones like Pizza (Tamil) , Shutter (Thai) etc. So I definitely wanted to see this movie irrespective of the ratings. It's a horror movie and it's got Anushka Shetty, what more can I ask ? Well, I should have asked for a more convincing script and non-cliched scenes ! Nevertheless I think you can watch this movie. It's extremely cliched , with the same old same old. Her acting is fantastic, and towards the end, with all the twists etc, you still want a more convincing story. At times, it will also remind you of Manichitrathazhu ( or Bhool Bhoolaiya, if you must ) . Most of the movie will keep you interested, but if you are horror fan like me in general, you won't find the movie that scary. You will laugh at what you predict also.

      A Good Mysterious Thriller film in 2018

      A wonderful movie made me felt WOW while watching. The entire movie tied the audience to focus it, as there is no such distractions or unwanted stuffs. Each scene had its important, though some scenes are illogical and confusing.. that did not spoiled the interest. Wonderful architecture can be seen in the movie.. even little things will wonder us.. Like in a scene when anushka open the door a hand like lock will hold her hands that was really nice.. The entire palace and the ideology was awesome and it perfectly matched with the story.. Anushka's acting was brilliant and the credits should goes to the director. He utilized her talent well to renovate the movie. Such a good mysterious thriller movie in Tamil.

      Bhaagamathie (2018)

      The movie was so good. Anushka and everybody acted very good in the movie. The movie lagged a lot at the 1st half of the movie but the 2nd half of the movie was very interesting and thrilling. BGM in the movie was very good. There are many twists in the 2nd half which was very interesting in the movie.

      Bhaagamathie Movie Review: A really awesome and beautiful movie

      Bhaagamathie is kind of different movie which we never used to watch before. Its on socio-political issue as well as horror and thriller movie. There are 5 reasons given below that why should you watch this movie.

      * Anushka Shetty's performance - Anushka Shetty's outstanding performance as Chanchala (which we have seen in her other roles e.g. Devsena, Sweet etc.) * The versatile star cast - the other stars of movies, Unni Mukundan, Asha Sharath, Jayaram, are versatile actors and well-known in their own industries. * Thaman's BGM - The background music and songs are really very sweet. * Film Direction - Direction of movie is too good that it has scary scenes, but more focused on its story. * Tailor-made script for Anushka - The script of movie written by Director G Ashok specially keeping Anushka Shetty in mind. He waited 4 years for her to give the dates.
