The current trend of horror movies usually involve sudden 'in-your-face' movements which are pretty scary. Having seen many such movies, it is hard to shock the audience.
This movie is based on Stephen King's book which was written back in 1986. As such, it follows the trend of those times - good storyline, interesting characters, good chemistry between them, good acting & slow psychological buildup of scary scenes rather than sudden movements. Its a refreshing change to see such a movie. Bill Skarsgård has done a splendid job as Pennywise the shapeshifting demon. His wicked smile remains with you even after the movie. There are plenty of hidden scary parts in the scenes which remain in the background (eg : the library scene). Highly recommend watching it on the big screen.

Had a lot of expectations from this movie since the trailer was really interesting & slick. The current trend of Kannada movies with really good story lines & good but non established actors was also playing on my mind.
The movie has a very realistic story of a simple Kannada teacher who struggles to find a bride for himself due to his ordinary looks (the bald head being the main problem).
The chemistry between the actors is really good & the 2nd half really shines. Lot of funny moments involving well placed songs of Dr Rajkumar but certain parts of the story leave you frustrated at the decisions made by the protagonist.
The pros : Good performances, music & a well conveyed lesson about what beauty really is. The cons : Very slow paced movie & the story was a bit predictable.
Worth watching once simply due to the lovely message conveyed in this movie.

Went in to see the movie since IMDb ratings were quite high.
The main story had potential - with a nice initial suspense to it. However it was severely hampered with commercial additions - the lady, the comedian & songs. Movie went down a couple of notches whenever any of them appeared. Editing out those parts of the movie might have made it watchable.
What I liked about the movie : Good intensity by Sudeep, good background music & the suspense part of the story (initial 30 min or so).
Everything went downhill after that.
