Film Review: Virupaksha ( Telugu film) streaming on Netflix #sanjuzzreviews #Virupaksha #Netflix #netflixindia

Set in the early 90's, the protagonist Surya ( Sai Dham Tej) and his mother pay a visit to their ancestral village after a long time. Suddenly mysterious deaths which seem like suicides start happening in the village. Occult practice is suspected. Time is of essence and it is up to the protagonist Surya to find out the perpetrator and save the village.

The story goes back and forth in time to set the context for the thrills and chills to follow. VFX has been effectively used to create an eerie ambience which is essential for the narrative.

The suspense element is the key to this film and the twist in the end is really worth it.

Sai Dham Tej and his love interest in the film Samyukta Menon have performed well and the great attention has been paid to recreate the 90's era which is commendable.

Some things like over-the-top top action scenes and loud acting are inevitable as it is a masala film.

Overall a decent horror, suspense thriller!! The climax is something to watch out for!!

Going with 3/5 for this one.. adios 🙂!!
