Karthikeya

Very good attemtp by director ..best story and taking

After the big success of Karthikeya-2, many Hindi film viewers were prompted to watch part 1 of the series. On hearing its good reports, I also watched the prequel of this hit Telegu supernatural thriller on Amazon prime. The film is un-available in Hindi language but the decent English subtitles made the film quite relatable. The film is about the central character Karthikeya who is the young Indian version of Indiana Jones kind character who is interested in solving mysteries. This lands him in a temple town which is in news and mystery. How he gets into trouble and how he solves it all makes the film very interesting. In Indian films, we have had films based on mythology meet the modern era including Hindi ones like Rudraksha, Naksha and a lot of south Indian films. However, Karthikeya's approach is very fresh and it manages to keep the film very engaging. The film has suspense, mythology, history, a bit of horror(like Ramsay's film) and mystery and does justice to all genres. A very tight screenplay and crisp editing make the film nail-biting and entertaining as well. The lead actor Nikhil is in great form and fits the role to the T! A well-made thriller with all elements of mystery and mythology well adapted!!

It's a great movie, attractive poster, excellent cinematography, brilliant acting, casting is superb and last but not the list the story is mind blowing. I just loved it.

The storyline of this movie is just good, and the acting is also good. However, the acting could be more interesting. Secondly, I have already watched Karthikeya 2 so my expectation was quite high.

From Watching Trailer itself, I had a very good Feel About the movie since the Story is Suspense Thriller.

Reaching my expectations, From Titles till the Endcard movie is Extraordinary. The Main Asset is Direction and Screenplay making all flavors of the story mixed in a handy Way.

Another Asset is Cinematography. Taking and Lighting Effects are awesome. Even the Animated version of flashback is very good. Two Songs Picturisation is good. Music and BGM was added advantage. Swamy rara pair Nikhil and Swathi was good. Goose Bumps when the lighting hits the Subramanya Swamy Statue at the End.

Climax should have extended a bit as the movie felt like ended Quickly.

Overall A Very Good Attempt and a Super HIT small movie.
