Analysis:
Director Karthik Dandu excelled as a writer and director. His story is the biggest strength and Sukumar took it to the next level with his screenplay.
Sai Dharam Tej offers a convincing performance in the lead role, and has a heroic role to play with many interesting turns and reveals. He excels in the action sequences.
Samyuktha Menon is the surprise package of this movie. Her performance in the climax is sure to stun many.
The film also has Ajay in a terrific role, and the rest of characters have done their part well.
The biggest strength of ‘Virupaksha’ apart from the story are the technicians. Ajaneesh Loknath gave a terrific BGM. He elevated the scenes a lot and the sound design is quite good too.
