If you are planning to watch the Kiran Abbavaram starrer and are not sure whether the movie is worth your time amidst the festive celebrations, well, you have arrived at the right place. The majority of critics seem to be praising the Telugu action thriller for its storyline, screenplay and, most importantly the climax scene. One of the reviewers praised the makers for suspense and philosophical ideas in an engaging way. Another critic praised lead actor Kiran Abbavaram for the portrayal of his character, capturing its complexity perfectly. Check more reviews below. 

M9.news: “The first major twist in the tale occurs at the interval point. It comes just in the nick of time, as around that time, the screenplay slowly starts to come across as gimmicky and tiresome. The second half is more action-packed and focused. Slowly things related to the main mystery are revealed. These don’t particularly stand out and are okay. The ‘Lala’ ending after all the build-up, the final mystery reveal related to the missing girls, and so on are all okay. Overall, Ka packs typical village-based drama tropes differently. The screenplay does the trick here. However, a final punch towards the end leaves us with mixed feelings. You’ll either like it or not, and it tilts the experience. Try it if you like to watch familiar things packed differently but have expectations in check.”

Times Now: “KA is an interesting take on thriller genre blending suspense and philosophical ideas in an engaging way. Though it has a few shifts in tone and issues with writing, the story doesn’t deviate from its purpose of establishing how ‘concept of life’ eventually catches up with you. KA is worth watching for anyone who is looking beyond typical thrillers.”

The Hindu: “KA heavily relies on the performances, technical finesse and the music to scrape past the dull stretches. Just when you are likely to give up on the film, a fantastic culmination shifts the momentum in its favour. A magnificently lit-up action sequence, where an entire village is in shambles and Vasudev chases the culprit on a bullock cart, provides the right mix of intensity, emotion and heroism. Yet, the film’s best part is not the action but how it smartly changes gears with the discourse on destiny and karma with a reference to Shankaracharya’s Bhaja Govindam. Much like the interval, the directors generate a whistle-worthy cinematic high through an aptly timed twist. The dialogues summarising the cycle of life, birth and death make up for the film’s rough edges.”

123 Telugu.com: “On the whole, KA is an engaging suspense thriller that captivates the audience. The thoughtfully crafted central theme, well-structured character arcs, and tension-filled climactic moments greatly enhance the film’s appeal. However, some scenes may unfold at a slower, more conventional pace, which could lessen the film’s overall impact. While fans of the genre are likely to appreciate its depth, other viewers might find it less compelling. Book your tickets and make your weekend a memorable experience.” ‘Amaran’ Movie Review: Critics Praise Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi’s Stellar Performances in Rajkumar Periasamy’s Biographical War Drama.
