Maniac killer on the loose

In a drama theater , a maniac killer is on the loose bumping off one by one. A drama director, artists and crew etc ..One visit to a hospital proves deadly as the killer escapes in to the Drama hall.

Will he be caught, if so who and how?? The premise is good but the low budget and short time frame is strictly amateurish and leaves much to be desired. The movie though is a multi starer with Anant nag, Shankar Nag, Srinath, Devaraj, Ramesh and Revati, Mahalaskhmi and Disco Shanti. There is no song but some weird background music, and overall it is not a well fleshed out story and made within some record time of 48 hrs and sadly the effort shows. When suspense is replaced by gory scenes and horror becomes horrible , it becomes difficult to digest this film which sadly tries to imitate Hollywood maniac killer movies but fails!

Shot in 48 hours doesn't mean it's well written or well directed

Kudos for thee world record of shooting the film in 48 hours. It takes a lot of rehearsals and quickness to do that. But if the writing falters, it will take a blind group of fans to make the film a hit. Here even though the film has some stellar cast of Shankar Nag, Anant Nag, Srinath, Devaraj, Tiger Prabhakar, Revathi, Mahalakshmi, Ramesh Doddanna, Avinash, Ramesh Bhatt etc. It still has holds no value over it's writing. The film if it had to be shot in 48 hours, it definitely had to be a single location film, at least when it came to shooting locations. It probably did. The main story happens inside a studio 'house'. But what falls down is the characters and certain scenes. A serial killer guarded in a hospital. Why? The dumb police constables who don't do their duty, the idiot girls who can't stay overnight for drama practice, the dumb security guard who goes home and comes back after the film is done, the cliché writer and his costume, the dumb scooby doo type running around while chased by a serial killer...such moments make it cringe worthy. I love the actors but pathetic writing and direction.

Dam must watch

One of the best Cult movie of all time. Must watch. Really Shankar Nag is legend. Movie shooted in 36hours. Super crew. No songs, no build up dialogue, no fight
