NRI's return triggers village curse mystery

A cheerful NRI, Eera Babu aka Veeru, returns from the US to his village intending to marry his childhood sweetheart. Upon his arrival, he discovers her wedding is already arranged.

After an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the wedding, Veeru spends a night near a deserted, reportedly cursed fort. He awakens to find himself embroiled in a mystery that deeply unnerves the village residents.

The film opens with a blend of humor and light horror against a traditional rural backdrop. The initial part of the movie offers situational comedy and jokes, maintaining a light mood despite some slower segments. The narrative builds curiosity around the cursed fort and local beliefs.

Sangeeth Sobhan portrays Eera Babu as a somewhat timid lead, deviating from typical heroic archetypes, and his comedic timing is effective in places. Nayan Sarika provides a sincere performance as Subbalakshmi, adding emotional depth.

The second half shifts focus to a supernatural thriller, revealing the story's main conflict. This section includes improved comedic moments but follows a predictable plot of curses and sacrifice. The supporting actors, including Tanikella Bharani and Brahmaji, perform well but have limited roles.

Comedy performances by Getup Srinu and Vennela Kishore add energy, though the film lacks sufficient tension and emotional weight. The visual effects, critical for the setting, are underwhelming and detract from the experience. The movie offers an easy, one-time watch that entertains intermittently but lacks a lasting impact.
