Virupaksha

I never watched movie sitting in first row but this the first time. Oh yes! Its worth watching. I hope this movie gets all the recognition it deserves

Please watch it in theatres to get the "grave experience ".

Direction-8.5/10 Cinematography-9/10 Screenplay-9/10 Story-9/10 Acting-8/10 Music-9/10 VFX-7/10

A big call out to lead actress, antagonist and other artists

Small nuisance in the "love track" scene but it all make sense when it reaches pivotal point of the story

Please don't watch the spoiler reviews as it really spoils the twists snd turns

My recent favourites are Balagam and now Virupaksha.

They should have selected good actor for main role. Surya was like a joker. I'd have given more star for story. But can't think of 1 star too for the main role. Cinematography, music all good.

A son and mother come to their native village after long time... Soon they find some weird and mysteries happening there and he try to find the truth behind... Good story and screenplay... One time watchable movie..!

The reviews here are quite polarized, perhaps due to misplaced expectations, if one expects to find logic or romance in this movie, they'll be disappointed, also the core idea of the movie is copied from the Hollywood movie "smile" still, I personally found this as a very successful attempt to indianise that idea, the connect & suspense are maintained throughout the length. The story is captivating & apart from the core idea, it still has enough elements to keep one hooked to the screen.

Though this movie has copied the concept of "smile" it's more entertaining than the original one itself. The credit here goes to the Indian adaptation of the script, sounds effects, special effects & cinematography, the acting too isn't bad.

If one is against the very idea of movies with superstitious themes then they might not like it, but if one is open to seeing it just as a form of entertainment, this is a great watch.

"Virupaksha" is a glaring exception to the norm of supernatural thrillers being subtle and laid-back in their tone and approach. It's heavily commercialised with a love track, over-the-top fight sequences, and corny conversations, similar to other Telugu films, but what makes it stand out is that despite having a mainstream persona, the film never deviates from its premeditated objectives, which were to frighten and intimidate the audience, and trust me, it accomplishes these goals with finesse.

If you can overlook the obvious deficiencies, you will find much to admire. The writing is effective enough to evoke both fear and fascination for the narrative, which is rife with angst and anxiety that keeps you hooked and second guessing at every turn.
