Written
and
directed
by
Anup
Bhandari,
the
movie
has
been
receiving
great
enthusiasm
from
fans
and
adventure
movie
lovers.
Sudeep’s
portrayal
of
Vikrant
Rona
is
most
stylish
and
aptly
set
the
tone
and
theme
for
this
period
drama,
set
almost
half
a
century
ago,
in
the
tropical
rainforest
of
a
fictional
village.

Story:
The
film’s
story
is
set
in
a
haunted
place
called
Kamorottu.
The
movie
starts
with
the
murder
of
a
police
officer,
and
the
serial
killing
of
kids
follows.
Vikrant
Rona
(Sudeep)
is
assigned
to
solve
these
mysterious
deaths.
Who
is
behind
all
these
deaths
and
how
Vikrant
Rona
finds
the
serial
killer
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.

Performances:
Kiccha
Sudeep
carried
the
same
swag
throughout
the
film,
whether
it
is
action
sequences,
dialogues,
acting,
or
dance
moves.
His
acting
in
pre-climax
will
make
you
teary-eyed.
Nirup
Bhandari
as
Sanju
is
decent
but
he
surprises
in
the
second
half.
Neethu
Ashok
is
cute
and
gorgeous
and
she
will
shine
in
Sandalwood
in
the
future.
Jacqueline
Fernandez
as
Gadang
Rakkamma
will
add
more
glamour
to
the
film
and
the
chart-buster
song
‘Ra
Ra
Rakkamma’
is
a
treat
to
watch
on
the
big
screen.
So
many
new
faces
performed
well
in
this
film.

Technical
Aspects:
Anup
Bhandari
played
it
safe
by
choosing
his
strong
genre.
He
used
the
same
template
as
Rangitaranga
for
Vikrant
Rona.
His
writing
in
the
second
half
is
excellent.
The
emotional
scenes
are
well
written
and
will
connect
with
the
audience.
Shiva
Kumar’s
artwork
is
magical
while
William
David’s
visuals
are
outstanding.
Vikrant
Rona
will
leave
you
with
a
hangover.
The
fights
composed
by
A
Vijay
are
excellent.
Jani
master’s
dance
choreography
was
excellent,
especially
in
the
song
‘Ra
Ra
Rakkamma’.

B
Ajaneesh
Loknath’s
songs
and
background
music
elevated
the
film
to
the
next
level.
He
is
the
biggest
asset
to
the
film,
and
his
rerecording
was
excellent.
But
the
editing
in
the
first
half
could
have
been
better.

Positives:
Kichcha
Sudeep’s
Performance
Anup
Bhandari’s
Storytelling
Ajaneesh
Lokanath’s
Songs
&
BGM
William
David’s
Top-Notch

Final
Verdict:

is
an
emotional
mystery
thriller,
which
can
be
watched
on
the
big
screen
for
an
amazing
3D
experience.
