In 2023, a Telugu movie called “Virupaksha” hit theaters, bringing a different kind of story to the audience. Directed by Karthik Varma Dandu and co-written by Sukumar, the film stars Sai Dharam Tej, Samyuktha, Sunil, Rajeev Kanakala, Brahmaji, Ajay, and Ravi Krishna. Produced by B. V. S. N. Prasad and Sukumar, it gained attention for its suspenseful plot and unique approach.
“Virupaksha” stands out because it’s not your typical scary movie with ghosts. Instead, it draws inspiration from a real-life incident, unfolding a mysterious tale in Rudravanam where strange deaths occur after a crow’s attack. Director Dandu takes a different path by focusing on fear and mystery rather than supernatural elements.
Set between 1989 and 1991, “Virupaksha” breaks away from the usual horror movie formula, calling itself a “mystical thriller.” It’s not just about scaring people; it’s about solving the mystery behind the strange deaths in the village. The film has intrigued audiences of all ages, offering a fresh perspective on Telugu cinema.
“Virupaksha” brings a new angle to Telugu movies, moving away from the usual horror-comedy style. By concentrating on mystery and suspense, it introduces a different storytelling approach. With its thrilling plot and gripping scenes, “Virupaksha” secures its place among the top 10 best Telugu movies of the year, providing an enjoyable experience for everyone.
