A Disposable Attempt at Horror-Comedy
isaacsundaralingam13 December 2023
Conjuring Kannappan is yet another movie in the tiresome horror-comedy genre which has exhausted Tamil cinema in the last decade, that fails to create anything worth remembering or discussing. At best, it manages to elicit half a laugh here and there, but its comedic elements remain overwhelmingly dated and repetitive. The CGI employed in the film is notably poor; as is to be expected (I mean, who on Earth really cares about these movies to put it any effort?) and the horror components rely heavily on jump-scares, shoddy makeup and every other low budget cliché one could throw into the mix.

Overall, Conjuring Kannappan is as disposable as it gets, with not a single innovative aspect to it. And while I won't go as far as to call it the worst, I wouldn't argue if one did.

Maybe this is over credit for the movie..
rifawap5 January 2024
Just now i finished watching this movie... I watched many movies in multi-laung.. In tamil cinema this story line was awesome... And unique story line in tamil movie ( maybe in hollywood we watched many movies great horror thriller even same concept) but in tamil i really enjoyed.... Not about anything (budget,CGI) ... I feel perfect.. Starting to end storyline finished 100%.... NO CRINGE OR ANY OTHER VULGAR COMEDIES.. best family entertainment... Theirs hardwork should get appreciation.. I felt not boring.. (Some logics or magic looking like childish) but overall good one... Simple story concept take in to interesting screenplay... Not too much horror... Just watch once.. You ll like it... 👍🏻

Khan Review- Ignore it
zkzuber7 January 2024
Very bad silly attempt to create kanchana , this movie is very poor and boring . Neither horror nor comedy a complete waste of time. Comedy genre is difficult this movie fails miserably all actors are made to over act and given very childish lines. Instead of laughing its irritating . The plot is not important in horror comedy but all depends on how well its executed the director has a major role to play in such genre. I watched it for fifteen minutes and completing by forwarding hoping may be it may get interesting but it didnt. It's just totally waste of time I will just ignore this movie and save your time.

Burnt Dosa made out of spoiled batter. Yes, I am hungry.
Vetrrich_Chelvan22 December 2023
Conjuring Kannappan tells the story of (you guessed it) Kannappan and his family getting haunted by a vodoo device and their struggle to escape a dream realm. The concept had potential but the writer had to spoil it, the musician (Yuvan Shankar Raja) had to spoil it and finally, the director had to spoil it.

Humor is a missing element in this comical film. Screeplay is fickle. Effort is non existent. For beginners, the film opens to Kannappan waking up to find that there is a problem with the water supply in his house. Unfortunately, he has to attend an interview soon.

To take bathe (?!), he opens an ancient well next to his house and draws filthy water from it. He takes bathe in it, changes his clothes, goes back to his room and attends an online interview! I am still trying to understand how this script passed the check.

Yuvan's BGM in theatres will cause hearing impairment - one of his worst. The acting is as plastic as it can be and the dubbing is outright awful. Characterization is mostly absurd. Locations are limited. The camera movements were not note worthy at all.

You can skip watching this movie on theatres and wait for it to be broadcast on TV.

With exhaustion, Vetrrich Chelvan MIRAJCINEMAS201223.

Interesting premise let down by writing
Shyam_S12 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Tamil movies have lately delivered a spate of horror comedies no different from each other.

Conjuring Kannappan could have broken the mold. It has an interesting premise: a man dreams he is in a haunted palace. He has the same dream every day. It has real life consequences: if he dies in it, he'll die in the real life too.

The problem is the movie doesn't utilize this fully. Screenplay is all over the place. There's a lot of plot armors, conveniences, and questions.

Out of the blue a character has heart attack, a ghost suddenly stops being terrifying right after the characters realise it's a victim, use of too much jump scares, painfully bland backstory, and an equally bland resolution.

Basically the third act is a huge letdown. It has some laugh out loud scenes in the middle. That's the only highlight.

Best horror comedy
anveshaws6 January 2024
If you were a horror comedy zener lover? If yes this movie is for you. This is one of the best horror comedy movie. Even though the story line was horror but when the characters enters to horror zone the output was awesome comedy. CGI and the ghosts were not upto the mark. Tamil script writers were the best is making non sync comedy scripts like jackpot, marakatamani, now conjuring kannapan. All the actors had done their best. Devil Armstrong, psychiatrist and hero father were too awesome, they makes you cry out of laughing. Regina and Nasar were okay. From starting to ending we never felt bore.

Super horror comedy movie
ysathishkumar15 January 2024
Conjuringkannappan" . It is one of the best horror comedy movies that my family and I have recently watched. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie, thanks to its perfect blend of horror and comedy. The horror scenes worked very well, and the interesting screenplay kept us engaged throughout. A special mention should be made of the sound effects and background score. I highly recommend watching it with your family and friends .i want to thank the director of the film after a very long time my family laughed out loud and it's happy to see they all laughing continuously from starting to end don't miss it.
