The most-anticipated Kannada movie of the year "Nagarahavu" starring late superstar Vishnuvardhan, was released all around India on October 14, 2016. The film which created maximum pre-release hype after the trailer release is creating storms at the box-office, and as per latest updates, most of the screens in Karnataka are witnessing 100% attendance.
Touted to be the 201st film of Sahasa Simha Vishnuvardhan, the makers have done full justice in their attempt in creating the digital version of the deceased Superstar. The film also marks the comeback of actress-turned-politician Ramya (Divya Spandana) to the silver screen.
Latest update on day 2:
The movie had mixed reactions from viewers as most of the scenes were edited graphically. The word of mouth is good but due to the limited role of the superstar, the audience is hesitant to watch the movie.
A perfect fantasy thriller
As expected, filmmakers Kodi Ramakrishna has crafted an excellent fantasy thriller which will impress the audiences of all genres. Throughout the running time, the viewers we will be on the edge of their seats.
The film showcases the story of a snake who takes revenge on its opponents. With some breathtaking moments, the "Arundathi" director took the audiences to a whole new world of fantasy.
The film which will redefine Sandalwood
This movie is made with International Standards, especially, the graphics and visual effects which have been used throughout the flick.
Public response first-day-first-show:
The digital recreation of Vishnuvardhana is top notch, and it will surely give Goosebumps to his fans. Ramya, through this movie, has proved that she is not just a glam doll, but an actress with pure talent and mettle. Romantic hero Diganth and Dharshan too made their presence felt in the movie.
