Magical and mesmerising
Ashtakarma
– Review
Psychiatrist Kishan does not believe in ghosts or paranormal activities. One day he takes part in a TV debate about the presence of ghosts.
During the heated discussion, Kishan is challenged to stay at a haunted house. Kishan accepts the challenge and decides to stay in the house.
What happens next forms the rest of the story.
Director Vijay Tamilselvam has based the movie on black magic. The director has relied on his script and that confidence reflects on screen.
The theme looks interesting and promising. Kishan is adequate in the role and has understood his character well.
He does not show unnecessary heroism and delivers what the role demands. Nandhini Raai who comes as Kishan’s assistant does a decent job.
Another heroine Shridha Sivadoss performs well. Muthu Ganesh’s BGM score elevates the scenes keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.
Guru Deva’s camera work needs special appreciation.
Rating 3.5/5
