[manojgavini · 8/10 · 10 August 2012]

Andala rakshasi is not a regular movie.Its a combination of live scenes moving on the screen.Every scene of the movie was shot excellently in peaceful locations.Emotions carried out very well in each and every scene.

The first credit for the movie will obviously goes to the director Hanu Raghavapudi who had mould the film into a beautiful picture.Though the storyline of the film is very short(but very complex),he managed to present it by an awesome screenplay.The next credit for the movie goes to the lead cast Rahul,Naveen,Lavanya.They enters into the soul of characters.Mainly Lavanya was really fantastic.She was really cute as Midhuna.Rahul and Naveen were not less than big actors even in a single scene.Other cast made their part perfectly.

Music by Radhan is the soul for this film.Its the best audio in recent days.BGM was apt in every scene and feel carried out in the same pace till the end of the film.Production values were very rich.Cinematography by Murali was pleasant.

The first half of the movie goes on with a great feel and second half with a mixture of entertainment and feel.Climax was not very good but its an opt conclusion for this genre.Dialogues were excellent and added the movie a fresh feel.

Youth loves the movie very much and also family audience.The feel of the movie lingers with us even after we leave the theater.The camera work, dialogues, back ground score every thing takes us to the time of happening.

Go catch this movie must.Its a feel best movie ever we have watched in recent days. 8/10

Almost Classic

Amidst the influx of mainstream mass-entertainers, "Andala Rakshasi" stands out as a unique offering. Set in the early 1990s, the film delves into a complex love triangle involving Surya (Naveen), Gowtham (Rahul Ravindran), and Midhuna (Lavanya). Their intertwined relationships unfold through a narrative filled with numerous characters and unexpected twists.

Gowtham instantly falls for Midhuna, captivated by her innocent charm. However, Midhuna's heart belongs to Surya, a passionate artist and occasional troublemaker. After a series of pursuits, she eventually reciprocates Surya's love. Tragically, Midhuna meets with a life-threatening accident, leading Gowtham to step in and care for her, expressing his deep affection. Meanwhile, Surya's absence suggests his demise, until a flashback reveals the truth behind his departure. Midhuna's father convinced Surya to leave her under Gowtham's father's promise to provide her with the best medical care. As the film reaches its climax, unresolved complexities leave the audience perplexed.

The film showcases promising performances from newcomers Naveen, Rahul, and Lavanya. Hanu Raghavapudi's direction is noteworthy, contributing to the film's excellence. Despite its merits, the editing could have been more refined to enhance the overall impact.

Throughout the narrative, moments of cinematic brilliance shine through, highlighting the nuances of love. "Andala Rakshasi" seeks to explore the cyclical nature of falling in love, waiting for love, experiencing heartbreak, and eventually finding solace through forgetting. It reminds us that love is not always a blissful journey but can also inflict pain and longing. These essential aspects of love are masterfully examined in the film.

If you are a romantic at heart and appreciate the profound essence of love, "Andala Rakshasi" is worth a watch. It offers a refreshing perspective on the complexities and trials that love can bring, portraying the bittersweet nature of this universal emotion.

Undeserved Climax

[jinklakada007 · 7/10 · 14 August 2012]

First things first its a great movie except for the climax part....i loved everything in the movie- direction, screenplay, background scores, cinematography and above all the performances by the 3 lead roles. Most of the movie runs pleasantly along with sensible comedy by the dialogs alone....but at the end director decided to send all the audience with a sorrow feeling out of the theater.... Throughout the movie, Mithuna's role is the key role around which the entire film revolves but at the end she is the one who was left alone heartbroken twice.But if you are ready to accept reality and accept any sort of climax if the story demands,then this is a movie worth watching...

No word. All time favorite.

What a wow. I love this movie. This is my all time best watch. I had seen it 10's of times. Never bored. The phrasing of dialogues is immense. Every dialogues is written and spelt with the touching feel. Direction work, Mr. Hanu, you nailed it man. With the new actors everyone in this movie has a perfect plot. So awesome. Music director Radhan and the lyric writer Might had a story of same in their life. They nailed it. So awesome . Producer the great S.S.Rajamouli, friend of Hanu (director) knew the work of his friend. The collaboration of director ,producer, actors , music department and what not , everything is perfectly shaped and screened. Great work. Wish for many more of such movies Hanu Garu. Thanks . With love and Regards for the movie.

Dharneesh .

Must watch film.

It's awesome..!it's very similar to dia though the dia came in recent times..but this film is very unique in many aspects and I loved it.but the climax remains us in sorrow and unimaginable.what i felt is gautham must not sacrifice his life,rather save suryas life and leave the decision for mithuna of marrying whom among both of them.because death is not the solution,love is not the only thing to live in our entire life.hope it helps🙌

What an awful climax

[sp-828-551256 · 1/10 · 27 October 2013]

This is one of the worst movies I have seen.

The movie is technically very good.

But story wise,presentation wise and climax wise it is a disaster.

Why this is a worst movie? Because at the end of the movie you will stand hurt and remain as someone sucked energy out of you and feel like totally hopeless.

I really like to slap the director across his face for having made a film with such a stupidest story line and climax. Undoubtedly, the director has not compromised with the story line and climax and made the film for his own gratification - sadistic enjoyment.

The story is neither cinematic nor realistic. All the three lead characters have qualities contrasting to the way they are presented. The way director portrayed their characters in the movie and the qualities and hobbies they have are completely in non-sync i.e the director failed to properly portray their characters in the movie.

I recommend not to see such a movie that makes fool out of the viewers. In the end viewers will feel like deceived.

This is not a romantic movie. Considering the climax and the foggy sequences and scenes, I could say this would be a good movie if it was categorized under genre of horror.
