Our Review of Kishkindhapuri
Kishkindhapuri is a horror mystery thriller. Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas tries to uncover a village curse connected to Anupama Parameswaran’s past. The first half is gripping with good BGM and nice twists, but the second half feels slow with routine scenes and a normal climax. Directed by Koushik Pegallapati, the movie has good performances and appealing visuals. Still, reviews on X mention pacing problems and regular story elements. The villain’s role gives some intensity, but overall the film does not feel very fresh.
What Worked
- Fresh horror concept blending myth and thriller trailer hooks you with that eerie forest vibe right away.
- Sai Sreenivas and Anupama’s chemistry brings heart to the scares, not just screams.
- Positive pre-release talk from screenings folks saying second half twists are killer.
What Didn’t Work
- Debut director Koushik hope he nails the tension without rookie slips.
- Modest budget might limit some epic scenes relying heavy on story strength.
- Clash with other releases like Mirai could split the audience a bit.
