Cinematographer Raghava who is scared of ghosts and darkness ends up accompanying Nandini, the girl he fancies, to shoot a reality show about a fake haunted house. As luck would have it, the house ends up being actually haunted and there's more than just adventure that awaits them.
This is the remake of the Tamil film Kanchana 2 by Raghava Lawrence. This film is a horror comedy, with ample masala to woo the front benchers. Director R Anantha Raju has remained faithful to the original, of course with a generous garnish of Upendra's signature style of dialogues and mannerisms.
The film is entertaining in the traditional sense of the word, as it manages to evoke both laughter and fright in equal bits through the story. While the mandatory spooky introduction sequence seems to give a wobbly foundation, what follows from there is enough to keep the viewers hooked. The climax fight sequence could have been handled better in terms of VFX, but it seems to generate all the necessary excitement that the mass audiences demand.
The film has Upendra in top form. With two roles, one as the wuss Raghava and the other as the daring Jade Shiva, he has enough to woo his fans. Avantika Shetty, as Nandini, shows a lot of promise and holds her own in the crucial scenes in the second half. Priya Mani, despite lesser screen time, is entertaining and proves why she is the powerhouse performer that everyone vouches for. The comic ensemble of Shobraj, Chitra Shenoy and Thulasi Shivamani play to the gallery.
The songs are a treat for the Upendra fans, with one of them featuring lyrics that allude to all his film titles in a song. This film sees Upendra giving fans what they expect out of his films -- trademark dialogues and lots of entertainment. Go watch it if you like films that offer that.
