Agadha

"An interesting horror concept held back by ordinary execution and casting. The fully serious narrative could have benefited from a more gripping screenplay and better casting choices for the supporting roles to elevate the atmosphere. However, the film lacks the intense, chaotic energy that a subject like this demands, and the production values feel a bit inadequate."

"The basic ideas are not particularly new, and the slow-paced narration reduces the impact in several portions. The forest atmosphere, cave sequences, graphics, cinematography and production values allow MS Raju to leave his mark despite the familiar storyline."

"Agadha does not provide excitement. It neither scares nor thrills consistently. Apart from the kala tantra episode and a few portions in the second half, it remains a routine horror drama."

"Agadha, despite its unique setup and potential to thrill, doesn't quite deliver. It labours to establish the mythos and world, then fails to elevate it with the required scares and highs despite the visible content. Old-fashioned making with no emotional connection makes it a boring watch."

"Agadha is a decent one-time watch for horror fans, but its predictable storyline keeps it from becoming a memorable film."

"Technically good with a few thrills here and there"

"The impressive craft in Agadha is undeniable, but does that make it a genuinely satisfying, value-for-money horror film? Not quite. While the technical crew appears ready to push the bar despite the limitations, and Kamakshi is at home shouldering the proceedings, the writing does not complement their efforts."

"Agadha is a below-par horror thriller with a decent premise, but the storytelling isn’t up to the mark. Kamakshi Bhaskarla is neat in her role, while the rest of the cast are decent. The thrills are missing, as one would expect in such a film. There are only a few moments that hold our attention, but overall, the movie falls short of being satisfactory."
