Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas is all set to thrill with his upcoming film Kishkindhapuri, a first-of-its-kind occult thriller that has already piqued curiosity with its intriguing teaser and captivating song. Directed by Koushik Pegallapati and produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner, the film has now raised expectations even higher with the release of its gripping theatrical trailer.
The trailer sets the tone with a haunting introduction to both the ghost and the mysterious setting. Set in the eerie town of Kishkindhapuri, the story revolves around an ominous house named Suvarna Maya. When the protagonist, his love interest, and a group of curious companions enter the house in search of supernatural encounters, they soon find themselves trapped in a nightmarish ordeal. The story follows their struggle to escape the malevolent forces within.
Director Koushik Pegallapati has taken a bold step by exploring a rarely-touched genre in Telugu cinema. With a unique storyline and a chilling narrative, he crafts a world that is terrifying. The unsettling backdrop and haunting sequences send shivers down the spine, hinting at a nail-biting cinematic experience.
Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, who starts off in a relatively understated role, unleashes his full acting prowess, his Nata Vishwaroopam, as the tension escalates. His intense screen presence and impactful dialogues stand out. Anupama Parameswaran delivers a compelling performance, especially in the final moments of the trailer where she appears possessed.
The supporting cast, including Nellore Sudharshan and Hyper Aadi, injects comic relief into this otherwise intense thriller, providing a welcome balance of humor and horror.
A film of this nature demands strong technical execution, and Kishkindhapuri doesn’t disappoint. Cinematographer Chinmay Salaskar beautifully captures the haunting ambiance, enhancing the film’s eerie mood. Chaitan Bharadwaj’s background score adds a gripping edge, heightening the suspense. Art Director D. Siva Kamesh and Production Designer Manisha A. Dutt contribute significantly to the visual authenticity, while Shine Screens delivers on high production values. Niranjan Devaramane takes charge of the editing, with G. Kanishka serving as Creative Head and Darahas Palakollu co-writing the screenplay.
With just days to go until its release on September 12th, the trailer has successfully amped up the buzz surrounding Kishkindhapuri. Packed with chilling moments, powerful performances, and a unique premise, the film promises to offer a one-of-a-kind experience for thrill-seekers and genre lovers alike.
