Sudheer Babu, Sonakshi Sinha film is choppy, chaotic

Jatadhara movie review: Ghostbusters. Tantrics. Demons. Jatadhara picks up on elements made popular by the current rash of supernatural thrillers–Kantara, Stree– for a Sudheer Babu film which has Sonakshi Sinha making her Telugu debut. Pre-interval, Jatadhara meanders about setting up scenes between the believers and the naysayers. Shiva (Sudheer Babu) packs devices which are meant to go beep in the presence of spirits. He uses these liberally wherever he is, whether it is in the ruins where he bumps into pretty damsel Sitara (Divya Khossla), or sneaking into a tantric ritual where no such instruments are allowed.

Enchanting, Captivating Mythological Horror Thrillerjatadhara-2

(Written for Filmy Town)
Jatadhara is an engaging, visually striking supernatural thriller that successfully merges commercial spectacle with artistic expression. It begins with a mythical narrative of how hundreds of years ago, with absence of banks or safe deposit vaults, when people used to store and hide gold and valuables beneath their homes to safeguard their hard earned wealth from dacoits. The introduction goes back and forth from the current day seminar on paranormal phenomenon and ghosts by the Indian Paranormal League where one attendee stands out declaring that he strongly believes that there are no ghosts.

डराती नहीं, दर्शकों को सताती हैं सोनाक्षी और शिल्पा

देश में कई ऐसी जगहें हैं, जहां सुपरनैचरल ताकतों के होने की किवदंतियां मशहूर रही हैं। उन्हीं में से एक है केरल का पद्मनाभस्वामी मंदिर, जिसके एक बंद तहखाने का रहस्य आज भी लोगों को हैरान करता है। मान्यता है कि इस तहखाने में अपार धन-संपदा है, जिसकी रक्षा अलौकिक शक्तियां करती हैं और इसे जबरदस्ती खोलने की कोशिश करने पर विपदा का सामना करना पड़ता है। इसी लोककथा पर आधारित है, सुधीर बाबू और सोनाक्षी सिन्हा स्टारर फिल्म ‘जटाधरा’, जो तेलुगू और हिंदी दोनों भाषाओं में रिलीज हुई है।
