Kishkindhapuri Review: Thrill for horror fans
Kishkindhapuri follows a couple who run ghost tours in a creepy town. When a haunted radio station awakens a deadly force, things spiral into horror. With good performances, scary moments, and a tight story, it’s worth the watch
This one is for those who really are fascinated by thrills and chills and love the horror genre if it is told in right way.
Of late, the genre has been flooded with hastily conceived and quickly put together movies that, instead of tingling the spine, end up tickling the ribs. That’s where ‘Kishkindhapuri’ is different.
The story of ‘Kishkindhapuri’ follows Raghav and Mythili, a couple running ghost-walking tours in the eerie town of Kishkindhapuri. Their lives turn upside down when an abandoned radio station, Suvarnamaya, awakens a terrifying force, leaving visitors to die mysteriously.
Sai Sreenivas gives a sincere performance, while Anupama shines in crucial moments. The antagonist adds weight to the story, making the conflict sharper. On the technical front, Chaitan Bharadwaj’s pulsating background score, Radhakrishna’s sound design, and Chinmay Salaskar’s visuals combine to heighten the chills.
The first half moves a bit slow and some details feel rushed, but the second half finds its rhythm with strong horror elements, well-timed jump scares, and unexpected twists.
‘Kishkindhapuri’ is a fresh story and a neat horror thriller that avoids unnecessary gimmicks, offers genuine chills, and delivers solid performances along the way. A good watch if you’re looking for spooks with style.
