Jatadhara Movie Review: The Film Jatadhara Is Another Attempt By Sudheer Babu To Enter The Supernatural World And Combines The Elements Of Mythology, Mystery, And Emotion, But Fails In Its Grand Scale. It Was Also A Fantasy Thriller Released In Telugu And Hindi, As Well As A Much-Awaited Telugu Debut By Sonakshi Sinha. Such An Impressive Casting And An Interesting Plot Inspired By Indian Folklore Promised A Lot. What Is Happening On The Screen, However, Is A Fragmented And Uninspired Story That Is Not Very Successful In Keeping The Audience Entertained.
The Movie Revolves Around Shiva (Sudheer Babu), A Businessman Who Has A Dual Existence As A Ghost Hunter. Disturbed By The Constant Nightmares Of A Suffering Child, Soon Enough, Shiva Discovers That His Destiny Is Somehow Connected To Dhana Pisaachini, A Demoness That Protects Riches And Ancient Knowledge. Sonakshi Sinha Enters Into This Mysterious Situation With Grace And Presence, And Her Screen Flair Provides A Spark To An Otherwise Bland Supernatural Arrangement. As Shiva Excavates His Own Past, The Secrets Begin To Be Uncovered, Although The Storytelling Of The Film Does Not Stand Up To The Interest Behind The Idea.
Sudheer Babu Plays His Role With Dedication, Just Like He Always Does, Adding Physical As Well As Emotional Depth To His Role. Sonakshi, Who Is Featured In The Second Half, Mostly Leaves Her Mark As The Mighty Demoness, Dominating All Of The Frames. Unfortunately, Even The Good Acting Is Unable To Defeat The Technical Shortcomings Of The Film, The Pacing Problems, The Disjointed Sequences, And Bad Editing Strip The Film Of All The Tension And The Momentum. The VFX, Which Are Supposed To Contribute To The Creepy Mood, Are Weaker Than They Seem.
Venkat Kalyan And Abhishek Jaiswal, Who Were The Directors, Had A Great Concept On Paper, An Amalgamation Of Myth And Fear, Which Was Based On Human Emotion, But The Implementation Failed. Rather Than Inviting The Audience Into A Darkness Fantasy World, Jatadhara Is Drifting Without Purpose And In Confusion. What Might Have Become A Shivering Supernatural Thriller Turns Out To Be A Dull And Empty Experience.
Ultimately, Jatadhara Is A Visually Unenthusiastic And Emotional Deadbeat Thriller That Does Not Frighten Or Provoke. The Movie Drowns In A Bad Direction And Shambling Plot Even Though Sudheer Babu And Sonakshi Sinha Play Their Parts Earnestly.
