    Best Horror Movie

    "Kalinga" is a gripping and thought-provoking film that delves into the complexities of human emotions, societal issues, and the pursuit of justice. The movie, set against the backdrop of a small town, follows the journey of its protagonist as he navigates through personal loss, corruption, and the fight for truth. The narrative is intense, with a well-crafted screenplay that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The performances are stellar, particularly by the lead actor, who brings depth and authenticity to his character. The cinematography captures the essence of the setting beautifully, enhancing the overall viewing experience. While the pacing could be slightly improved in the second half, "Kalinga" is a compelling watch that leaves a lasting impact.

    "Kalinga" is a must-watch for those who appreciate films that challenge societal norms and inspire change. If you're interested in exploring more about the film's production or behind-the-scenes details, you can check out this on on ibomma.baby.

    Poor acting, patched up story and generally a mess

    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.

    An epitome of lazy film making

    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.

    Great content

    The film revolves around a young man named Kalinga, who sets out on a journey to avenge the death of his father.

    The film is a visually stunning action spectacle with well-choreographed fight sequences and impressive visual effects. Dhruva Vaayu delivers a powerful performance as the protagonist, showcasing his athleticism and screen presence. The supporting cast, including Aadukalam Naren, Tanikella Bharani, and others, provide solid performances.

    However, the film's narrative falters in its predictability. The plot follows a familiar revenge story template, lacking the originality and depth that could have elevated it beyond a standard action film. The supernatural elements, while visually impressive, are not fully integrated into the story and feel somewhat tacked on.

    Despite these shortcomings, Kalinga is an entertaining watch for fans of action cinema. The film's technical prowess is undeniable, and the lead performance is captivating. However, those seeking a more nuanced and thought-provoking experience might find the film's predictable narrative and underdeveloped supernatural aspects to be a letdown.

    Here are some of the things that make Kalinga an entertaining watch: * The visually stunning action sequences and impressive visual effects.

    * The powerful performance by Dhruva Vaayu in the lead role.

    * The strong supporting cast.

    However, the film's narrative falters in its predictability. The plot follows a familiar revenge story template, lacking the originality and depth that could have elevated it beyond a standard action film. The supernatural elements, while visually impressive, are not fully integrated into the story and feel somewhat tacked on.

    Overall, Kalinga is a visually impressive action film that delivers on its promise of entertainment. However, its predictable narrative and underdeveloped supernatural elements prevent it from reaching its full potential.

    A mixed bag.

    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.
