कलिंगा

The Telugu film 'Kalinga' is quite the mixed experience! Directed by Dhruva Vaayu, it's a fantasy action horror that seems to be reaching for too much. Starring Dhruva Vaayu and Pragya Nayan in the main roles, it occasionally comes off as a bit self-indulgent. Dhruva Vaayu is trying to be the center of the story and sometimes feels that all he wants!

The cinematography is top-notch, but the CGI leaves a lot to be desired. There's a heavy dose of religious Hindu-themed animation, the acting is just okay, and the songs? Not great either. Honestly, that pretty much sums up my hour and 56 minutes with it.

Extremely overhyped movie with sub par cinematography and an equally incoherent storyline. Not sure why and how this movie is getting so much hype, but to be honest, please save 2 hours from your schedule and skip watching this one.

They even used AI generated images at the start of the movie which itself gives an impression of a badly produced social media content.

The mythology doesn't make much sense and yes, songs in the middle of a movie with such a somber tone is a total mood killer. The movie is made for target audiences who are not very familiar with world horror movies. I think Tumbbad was far better than this.

You don't expect to be disappointed with a movie with a 9.0 IMDb rating but this was an exception. Lot of people out there calling this movie "super" or "hit" and it baffles me.

It's a very long movie and for 1.5hrs it goes absolutely nowhere. When the creature finally appears, it gets killed in 5 mins!!!

They've tried to mix in so many elements that nothing shines through. There's the horror element, the mythology element, then there is romance angle to develop the character (but it's so half assed you feel nothing), then there is Linga's backstory which is supposed to be the thriller element and finally the story about the treasure.

The background music in the climax had me scratching my head, I've never seen a movie that uses such an elaborate background score for the creature's entry and fight scene, yous generally want to use minimal background score to keep the focus on the creature, it was the exact opposite here.

Overall, cheap wannabe movie with poor acting and a very mixed up story. Rather than watching the movie, go outside for a walk.

The film begins with a strong story, presenting a good mythological tale, but as it moves on to introduce the main character, the pace becomes fast and unclear.

The fragmented scenes are not well-organized, causing the audience to fail to grasp the purpose of each scene.

I also don't understand why some people give positive reviews about this film. The story is indeed good, but it's not well-structured, leaving many questions unanswered.

I hope reviews focus more on other aspects without viewing the film solely from a belief-based perspective.

I just wanna make it clear that this film have potential but not recommended. Even the action its not entertaining.

If you have a conscience do not even think of watching this movie I made this terrible mistake after looking at the rating But please if you value your time even a bit do not I repeat DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE the visual effects,editing,action scenes each and everything was downright ridiculous Do not buy into their trap They have very well worked on their gpt generated reviews,which is the only thing that has been done properly by the team of the movie. The director had absolutely no vision what he was trying to make,no amount of efforts could be seen by any cast member Infact These kind of movies should be reported.
