Karthikeya is technically a brilliant film. The film wanders slightly during this part and some unnecessary scenes take center stage. Second half is a bit slow when compared to the first. Heroine Swathi does not have much to do and looks lost out in the plot.
May be the audience who are glued to their seats till the end, expect something more from the climax. First half of the film is very engaging, and the way the love story has been weaved into this suspense thriller is quite good.Įven though the film ends on a superb note, the climax is a bit rushed. Shekhar Chandra elevates the film to another level with his tout background score.
Yet another major plus point of the film is its background score. Comedy quotient in the film has been maintained quite nicely in the first half with Praveen doing a good job as Nikhil’s friend. Nikhil had a lot of scope to showcase his talent and he delivers it with a lot of ease. It is quite surprising and impressive to see him perform the way he did. The suspense factor and mythological touch have been superbly executed.Ĭoming to Nikhil, he suits the medico role perfectly. Karthikeya is a complete directors film which makes you stick to your seats with its racy narration. Kudos to the director, who has written an engaging story which has enough twists and turns. Right from the word go, the entire film is quite interesting. Major plus point of the film is the interesting story. What is the mystery behind the temple ? Why are people dying of snake bites ? Will Karthik be able to solve the mystery ? That forms the rest of the story. A pretty upset Karthik decides to take things in his hands and solve the mystery himself. Once he lands there, weird things start happening to him and his group. On the other hand, Katrhik(Nikhil) is an intelligent medical student who is posted to Subramanyapuram along with his group. The temple is shut down for mysterious reasons, and all those who try to find out the story behind this keep getting killed by a deadly snake bite.
