Kakuda

I watched this movie for the writer Avinash, as I watch his vlogs, thinking that the first creative break for a writer would be pregnant with promise.

This has been a disappointing effort which uses the trope of idiosyncratic villagers with an even more idiosyncratic ghost to deliver gags. I mean why does a dwarf ghost need a smaller door when there is a bigger door through which they can enter? Particularly when the ghost levitates high above the ground.

The ghost itself looks like it was sketched by someone while they were having diarrhea on a public bus being driving on potholed roads. None of the characters are likeable and the audience can't care any more for their fate than the ghost does.

For all its preachy dialogues about people tormenting those who are not normal, the ghost is more gentlemanly in not attacking the woman who holds him while the ghost hunter removes the one thing that is powerful for the ghost. That only tells me that humans are far more violent than even ghosts, but even this aspect was not built upon.

I was neither scared, nor tickled by this tale which has at its core a violent society that condemns those who are abnormal to a fate that is otherwise delivered by a death that visits before consummation of desires - the fate of a disembodied ghost that carries only desires, but unable to open the doors to their fulfillment.

It's horror comedy film and writing by avinash dwiwedi it's awesome script writer and story also entertainment and all I can say it's wonderful film.avinash bhaiya jaise aap vlog me comedy karte ho or ju punch lines bolte ho na aap ka sense of humour awesome hai aap bht ache human being ho or apko bht bht congratulations apki first film as a writer. And you are hard working men. Every time I saw in your vlogs aap comedy k sath sath itni sari creativity bhi hai. Very intelligent person, you as a dancer, vlogger, and now one more added as a writer. Thank you for presenting this story and also good bless you with you future endeavours.🙏

Initial start was good with some attraction but it turned out to be a kids story movie. Poor star caste and poor acting without any logic. Things were running from pillar to post. Go for it only if you have nothing to do and want to really waste your time on another non-sense Bollywood movie just like me. Sonakshi Sinha was as usual did not contributed to the movie. Ritesh Deshmukh was just brought to fit a TANTRIK character to conclude the movie at the end. This movie nowhere stand to Munjya which was recently released with small star cast and better script and acting. At last try to avoid even if you have Zee5 subscription for free.

Movie Review: Kakuda Streaming on Zee5 !!

A cursed village Rathodi where men are targeted by a malevolent entity. A quirky ghost hunter who comes to the village to rid it of its curse !! Suna hua lagta hai na story .. u bet u have!! It seems to have taken inspiration from Stree !!

It is supposed to be a horror/ comedy but ends up being a hotch- potch of sorts leaving u disappointed.

A weak script proves to be its downfall. Lack of seriousness from the writers is evident from the fact that even with a decent starcast, they cannot extract the best from the actors.

Many of the scary scenes are shot in the dark ... Literally too dark for u to understand what is going on . Even the VFX leaves a lot to be desired!!

Riteish tries to be funny and has a few scenes where he invokes genuine lol moments but these are pitifully less !! Sonakshi Sinha tries her best but then limitations of the script pull her down. Saqib Saleem.. supposedly the protagonist is more of a buffoon than a hero.

The last 20 mins have some horror moments but then it is too late to salvage the film !!

The director, Aditya Sarpotdar who has given us good Marathi films like Zombivali & Faster Fene .. this surely is a big let down!! I was terribly disappointed 👎👎!!

U may give it a skip and watch Bidens election gaffe's on CNN instead ... Will definitely be well worth ur time !!

Going with 1.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂

The movie suffers from a poor selection of actors, with Sonakshi and Ritesh being particularly bad fits for their characters. Their performances fail to bring depth or believability to their roles, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them. Furthermore, the script is bogged down by numerous unnecessary subplots that add nothing to the main story, only serving to make the film more tedious and difficult to follow. On a positive note, the direction and camera work are commendable, demonstrating technical proficiency and artistic vision. However, these strengths are overshadowed by the movie's significant weaknesses in casting and storytelling, ultimately resulting in a disappointing cinematic experience.
