Karthikeya, a supernatural suspense thriller, has all the right elements to make this movie a super hit. The screenplay is a major plus as every dialogue and every scene had a purpose. It is directed in such a way where things are slowly unraveling allowing the audience to enjoy the whole ride. The camera angles really add to the mystery by allowing the audience to keep guessing what is happening. The songs add to the flow, instead of distracting the audience.
The casting is great. All the characters have equal screen time so the audience is always left guessing. The lead pair Nikhil and Swati have great chemistry.
More importantly, the film questions our belief in God in a gentle way without attaching the belief.
However, a couple of areas need work. The animation of the snake, at times, looks fake. The other area is the climax. Unfortunately it fell a little flat in comparison to the build up.
Overall, this film is a must see and a rare treat for film watchers.

After the big success of Karthikeya-2, many Hindi film viewers were prompted to watch part 1 of the series. On hearing its good reports, I also watched the prequel of this hit Telegu supernatural thriller on Amazon prime. The film is un-available in Hindi language but the decent English subtitles made the film quite relatable. The film is about the central character Karthikeya who is the young Indian version of Indiana Jones kind character who is interested in solving mysteries. This lands him in a temple town which is in news and mystery. How he gets into trouble and how he solves it all makes the film very interesting. In Indian films, we have had films based on mythology meet the modern era including Hindi ones like Rudraksha, Naksha and a lot of south Indian films. However, Karthikeya's approach is very fresh and it manages to keep the film very engaging. The film has suspense, mythology, history, a bit of horror(like Ramsay's film) and mystery and does justice to all genres. A very tight screenplay and crisp editing make the film nail-biting and entertaining as well. The lead actor Nikhil is in great form and fits the role to the T! A well-made thriller with all elements of mystery and mythology well adapted!!
