Though there’s nothing in the movie we haven’t seen or heard before, ‘Raksha’ offers a simplistic storyline, with scares in between and a typical RGV stylised theme. To revive her, Rajeev now resorts to the non-scientific methods and also to teach the perpetrators a fitting lesson. Owing to his atheism, a bunch of employees who were ousted from his company perform black magic on Rajeev’s daughter, thus making her behave weirdly. ‘Avunu’ is good, but it is good only in parts.Īn official remake of the Hindi feature ‘Phoonk’, ‘Raksha’ is the younger daughter of Rajeev, who owns and runs Raksha Construction Company. Unbeknownst to them, Captain Raju has also followed them and the amulet is the only thing that can stop Captain Raju’s spirit from forcing him upon Mohini. The second instalment picks right from where the first one ends, with an amulet around Mohini’s neck, Mohini and Harsha have settled down in a posh new locality. Alas, they leave the house in search of a new one as the movie ends. The first instalment depicts two newly weds, Mohini and Harsha who’ve moved into a newly purchased house, only to know that there’s been an evil spirit of a deceased Captain Raju who has gotten infatuated with Mohini and also eliminates anyone who crosses its way or appears to be a hindrance. There are a few moments of genuine scare and more or less the handi-cam video makes us divert our attention from both cinematography and performances, which are just about average. As the reporter finds their memory cards, the footage reveals that the three, along with a stranger had ventured into a haunted guest house inside the forest to prove their point, and chilling details follow through as with any horror movie.
The movie has a journalist on the trail of 3 friends – Bhaskar, Chaitanya, and Durga, who went missing six months ago. ‘Case No 666/2013’ is the first and only such Tollywood’s effort so far which follows a “found footage” narrative and closely mimics the Hollywood’s timeless classic ‘The Blair Witch Project (1999)’. The plot promises a lot, yet the execution is lacklustre which makes ‘Tripura’ a diminishing and predictable affair. Add a murder, a ghostly spirit which intends to kill its murderer and the perpetrator of the crime, and the whole story becomes a relatable yet boring mess. One fine day, she dreams of killing her husband, and things become awry. She falls for a doctor named Naveen, who is also treating her of the ailment, they marry and move into a new house. The story revolves around Tripura, a girl who has a disorder of dreaming things or events which happen to her in real life as well. Here’s the list of top Telugu horror movies ever made. With this list, we bring to you the best Telugu horror movies of all time, which have managed to scare us all or made us fall off our chairs and these can hold the fort for some time for the entire genre unless a ‘Baahubali’ like revolution happens. I rate it 7 out of 10.Though many Telugu horror movies have managed to spook us considerably, yes, but many of these had rather clichéd portrayals common to a typical horror movie (like creaking doors, leaking faucets, eerie calm, windy nights etc.) which, I’d say, appears archaic. Just forget that you have seen grave encounters or any of other English horror and watch The Horror Story.I assure you that you won't be disappointed.There are some flaws but as per horror quotient is considered it will surely terrify you. Bollywood wants to present Hollywood flicks for our typical Indian spectators in our own style.Why not think that way rather than to criticize almost every Indian horror movie. I have also seen Grave encounters and yes the plot was quite similar.OK lets assume that the critics haven't seen any of the above English movies.I am sure then they must have reviewed the horror story positively.So why not put ourselves in that category of those who are more on bollywood side and watch foreign movies less often. Bollywood movies are these days badly criticized for borrowing some elements or even whole concept from Hollywood flicks.Horror story too was panned as some referred it as direct copy of grave encounters and had some scenes similar to two or three other English movies.
