Virupaksha movie rating

OUR RATING 2.75/5 CENSOR A, 2h 25m What Is the Film About? Set in the village of Rudravanam, a chain of mysterious deaths happens one after the other, which are linked to black magic. But is it really the reason, or is there more to what meets the eye? Virupaksha is a thriller that decodes the truth behind the deaths. How Surya (Sai Dharam Tej) solves is the movie’s basic premise, whereas his track with Nandini forms the subplot. Performances Sai Dharam Tej is back on the big screen after a long gap. Virupaksha is his first outing post-recovery. The actor, therefore, is definitely not at his peak physicality wise as he looks heavy most of the time. He is particularly awkward on screen in running shots which could have been minimised. Coming to acting, there is nothing challenging in Virupaksha. It requires a confident presence to navigate the proceedings, and Sai Dharam Tej provides it, and that’s it. He is one of the many characters in the movie. Credits to him for sticking to the story and not forcing typical heroism on his part. It helps the cause a great deal. Samyukta Menon starts on an ordinary note, especially in the first half. She has less screen time, and even the scenes involving a love track have no impact. However, things change, and she surprises where it matters (climax). Again, it is not extraordinary or memorable, but it works well. Analysis Karthik Dandu makes his directorial debut with Virupaksha. It is a mystic horror thriller set in a village in the pa...

When a story discusses paranormal activities, it is easy to brush it aside as superstition. The task of the storyteller, then, is to build the world of the story such that the viewer is drawn into it and remains invested in the mysterious happenings and begins to empathise with some of the characters. Director Karthik Varma Dandu who has written the story of the Telugu film Virupaksha, which has screenplay by Sukumar, builds the make-believe world of Rudravanam village diligently. When a series of eerie events unfold, I found myself wondering why a character should invite trouble by walking into the jungle at night or why another character crosses a line that is supposedly sacrosanct. An hour into the film, a particularly spooky incident sets the stage for the protagonist, played by Sai Dharam Tej, to begin a quest. An incident that happened in the late 1970s becomes the premise for a chunk of the story that takes place in 1991. The 1990s setting helps the makers build the fear quotient minus mobile phones and social media; help is not a call or click away. Surya (Sai Dharam Tej) visits Rudravanam village accompanied by his mother. They are greeted by what the mother thinks could be a bad omen. Surya dismisses it as a possibility in the forests. In Rudravanam, life revolves around the village deity and ritualistic practices, guided by the temple priest (Sai Chand). A hurried and superficially written romance brews between Surya and Nandini (Samyuktha Menon), daughter of th...
