A good folklore concept, it executed nicely. VFX Is Good. Visuals and Locations Are Beautiful. But didn't reach near to STREE. Screenplay and story is poor and seemed. Overall a visual Treat it give.

It's such a fun film, with enough bits of terror to keep you following the story. The comedy with the horror mix is quite entertaining, I'd have to say this film has me wanting and waiting for more. I'm really enjoying the fact that our character is acting out his transformation rather than solely relying upon cg. The transformation plays well into the folklore told by the local ojha (Indian Shaman). I'd ask anybody who enjoys laughing with their terror to give this a watch for the sheer entertainment factor alone.
