Virupaksha – Review

Set in the backdrop of the 1990s, the story takes place in a village named Rudravanam. Sai Dharam Tej, along with his mother, visit their village after a long time. He instantly falls in love with Samyukta Menon.

Suddenly a series of mysterious events happen in the village, and people keep dying one after the other. What’s actually happening in the village? What’s the reason behind the continuous deaths? How did Sai Dharam Tej unravel the mystery forms the rest of the story.

Director Karthik Dandu has done a good job with the movie. The way he penned the story and the amount of depth in his writing is appreciable.

Sai Dharam Tej sheds his mass image and plays his part neatly. He, as a person who tries to unravel the mystery in the village, did a fair job. He has delivered a performance as per the demand of the script.

Samyukta Menon gets a meaty role, and she did a spectacular job as well. Samyukta played the village girl role with utmost conviction.

The characterisations are strongly written, and even those who appear for a brief time will drive the story forward.

The Tamil dubbing has also come out well with sharp dialogues. The cinematography by Shamdat is fantastic and gives the required depth.

The background score by Ajaneesh Loknath is top-notch, and it gels well with the theme of the movie.
