This big-budget action, horror, a period film with fancy sets, absurd ideation, and a marketing boost from SS Rajamouli and Salman Khan, has been released Pan India dubbed in multiple regional languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, German, Russian, English, Arabic and Mandarin in addition to Kannada. The film delves into superstition and mystery before finding a heroic resolution for the death of children and several other murders that take place in a remote village policed by Vikrant Rona. The narrative is clichéd and fanciful – relying on deliberate confusion to criss-cross the paranormal and real. You might get a rise out of the spiffy tech on display here but the narrative is slow, etched with stylized acting, and lacks tension. The horror sequences have no follow through so there’s not much to fear here. It’s only the cinematography, FX, and production design that lends the film some gravitas.
