Conjuring Kannappan

Conjuring Kannappan is yet another movie in the tiresome horror-comedy genre which has exhausted Tamil cinema in the last decade, that fails to create anything worth remembering or discussing. At best, it manages to elicit half a laugh here and there, but its comedic elements remain overwhelmingly dated and repetitive. The CGI employed in the film is notably poor; as is to be expected (I mean, who on Earth really cares about these movies to put it any effort?) and the horror components rely heavily on jump-scares, shoddy makeup and every other low budget cliché one could throw into the mix.

Overall, Conjuring Kannappan is as disposable as it gets, with not a single innovative aspect to it. And while I won't go as far as to call it the worst, I wouldn't argue if one did.

Conjuring Kannappan tells the story of (you guessed it) Kannappan and his family getting haunted by a vodoo device and their struggle to escape a dream realm. The concept had potential but the writer had to spoil it, the musician (Yuvan Shankar Raja) had to spoil it and finally, the director had to spoil it.

Humor is a missing element in this comical film. Screeplay is fickle. Effort is non existent. For beginners, the film opens to Kannappan waking up to find that there is a problem with the water supply in his house. Unfortunately, he has to attend an interview soon.

To take bathe (?!), he opens an ancient well next to his house and draws filthy water from it. He takes bathe in it, changes his clothes, goes back to his room and attends an online interview! I am still trying to understand how this script passed the check.

Yuvan's BGM in theatres will cause hearing impairment - one of his worst. The acting is as plastic as it can be and the dubbing is outright awful. Characterization is mostly absurd. Locations are limited. The camera movements were not note worthy at all.

You can skip watching this movie on theatres and wait for it to be broadcast on TV.

If you were a horror comedy zener lover? If yes this movie is for you. This is one of the best horror comedy movie. Even though the story line was horror but when the characters enters to horror zone the output was awesome comedy. CGI and the ghosts were not upto the mark. Tamil script writers were the best is making non sync comedy scripts like jackpot, marakatamani, now conjuring kannapan. All the actors had done their best. Devil Armstrong, psychiatrist and hero father were too awesome, they makes you cry out of laughing. Regina and Nasar were okay. From starting to ending we never felt bore.

Very bad silly attempt to create kanchana , this movie is very poor and boring . Neither horror nor comedy a complete waste of time. Comedy genre is difficult this movie fails miserably all actors are made to over act and given very childish lines. Instead of laughing its irritating . The plot is not important in horror comedy but all depends on how well its executed the director has a major role to play in such genre. I watched it for fifteen minutes and completing by forwarding hoping may be it may get interesting but it didnt. It's just totally waste of time I will just ignore this movie and save your time.

"Conjuring Kannappaan" presents a refreshingly unique concept in the realm of horror-comedy, but unfortunately, it fails to fully capitalize on its potential. While the film offers some genuinely funny moments and a novel premise, it struggles to maintain a consistent level of engagement throughout.

The film's strength lies in its attempt to blend horror and comedy with a distinctive storyline. The premise, involving a family's encounter with supernatural forces after disturbing a dreamcatcher, is intriguing and sets the stage for some potentially hilarious and spooky situations.

However, the execution falters in its pacing and comedic timing. While some jokes land well, others feel forced and fall flat. The horror elements, while present, lack the intensity to truly frighten, and the overall tone feels somewhat uneven.

Despite its shortcomings, "Conjuring Kannappaan" is a decent one-time watch for those seeking a lighthearted horror-comedy with a unique concept. It may not be a groundbreaking film, but it offers some entertaining moments and a refreshing departure from typical horror tropes.
