Karthikeya (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Very good attemtp by director ..best story and taking

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.

From Watching Trailer itself, I had a very good Feel About the movie since the Story is Suspense Thriller.Reaching my expectations, From Titles till the Endcard movie is Extraordinary. The Main Asset is Direction and Screenplay making all flavors of the story mixed in a handy Way.Another Asset is Cinematography. Taking and Lighting Effects are awesome. Even the Animated version of flashback is very good. Two Songs Picturisation is good. Music and BGM was added advantage. Swamy rara pair Nikhil and Swathi was good. Goose Bumps when the lighting hits the Subramanya Swamy Statue at the End.Climax should have extended a bit as the movie felt like ended Quickly.Overall A Very Good Attempt and a Super HIT small movie.

The movie is about a famous Karthikeya temple in Subramanyapuram. This temple is shut down an year back. All the curious people/journalists who try to enter temple are killed by a snake. Karthik a medical student and atheist who is sent for a medical camp to Subramanyapuram stumbles upon a few mysterious events. Karthik is curious about why the temple is closed and what is the mystery about the people dying when trying to open the temple. The movie has a good story line but the climax is a let down. The pros of the movie are different plot from Telugu movies, the plot execution and screenplay are good. The climax of the movie should have been better and romance between nikhil and swati is a weak point. Overall the movie is must watch and is different from other Telugu movies
