'Love
is
the
irresistible
gravity
between
hearts
that
pulls
them
into
the
game
of
fate'.
This
has
been
best
carried
out
on
the
screen
through
Andala
Rakshasi.
Hanu
Raghavapudi
debut
directorial
venture
has
sound
technical
values.
The
heart-touching
love
story
seems
to
be
a
rehash
of
Manirathnam's
early
film.
It
appears
like
the
director
is
retelling
the
story
of
Mounaragam
with
tragic
end.
The
cinematography
of
Murali
G
is
the
major
attraction
of
the
movie
Andhala
Rakshasi.
Lead
actors'
performance,
Radhan's
musical
score,
Hanu
Raghavapudi's
poetic
narration,
comedy,
stunning
visuals,
amazing
art
work
are
its
other
highlights.
The
lethargic
and
slow
paced
narration
is
its
biggest
drawback.
The
story
of
Andhala
Rakshasi,
which
is
set
in
1991,
is
centre-staged
on
three
pure
hearts
Surya,
Gowtham
and
Midhuna.
It
is
all
about
falling
in
love,
forgetting
and
waiting
for
love.
The
film
highlights
love
and
its
dark
side
of
tormenting
its
patrons
in
pursuit
of
it.
They
resemble
the
three
celestial
bodies
Sun,
Moon
and
Earth.
Set
in
motion
by
the
force
of
love,
the
three
individuals
can
neither
come
close
nor
cut
off,
but
are
destined
to
revolve
around
the
dear
ones.
Gowtham
(Rahul
Ravindran)
is
son
of
a
rich
father.
He
falls
in
love
with
Mithuna
(Lavanya
Tripathi)
at
first
sight.
And
he
wants
to
marry
her,
but
he
waits
for
her
to
develop
love
towards
him.
But
she
is
emotionally
connected
to
her
dead
lover
Surya
(Naveen
Chandra).
Whether
Gowtham
will
find
a
replace
or
not
will
form
the
crux
of
the
story.
The
narration
is
very
slow
and
nothing
interesting
happens
in
the
first
half
of
the
movie,
in
which
Gowtham
and
Mithuna
are
just
sitting
in
his
father's
hill
resort.
He
keeps
gazing
at
her,
while
she
is
awkward
and
anxious
and
is
looking
around
except
him.
This
whole
sequence
appears
blank
and
dragging.
Rahul
Ravindran
has
delivered
wonderful
acting,
his
expressions
throughout
the
movie
are
awesome.
As
Mithuna,
Lavanya
Tripathi
has
done
her
part
very
well
and
she
emotes
well,
which
is
appealing.
But
it
is
Naveen
Chandra,
whose
rock-solidness
makes
everyone
like
him
in
the
end.
Others
have
also
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Murali
G's
camera
work
is
main
attraction
in
the
technical
front.
Then
comes
art
work,
which
is
also
super.
Radhan's
music
is
also
plus
point
of
the
movie.
His
compositions
like
'Yemito'
and
'Emito
ivale
rekkalochinattu'
are
good
to
listen.
Editing
is
also
commendable.
Overall,
Andhala
Rakshasi
is
good
romantic
entertainer.
If
you
are
fan
of
heart-touching
love
story,
then
don't
miss
this
film.
