Netizens' mixed opinion on Sangarsha Ghadana
Critics praised Sangarsha Ghadana's distinctive story, filmmaking, and major cast performances following its screening in film festivals and limited theatrical release.
In a same vein, the majority of reviews following the OTT release are favourable, with many complimenting the director for creating an unconventional gangster film, giving Krishand's work high ratings. "It was a completely different approach, converting a revenge plot into a war-style narrative," wrote a user on X.
It is undeniably said that not everyone will enjoy the film. For many viewers, the creator's use of dark comedy is also effective, which is among its strongest aspects.
In the meantime, some people have different opinions, pointing out that this film lacked a hooking element. However, very few people have discussed the movie's shortcomings on social media.
Sangarsha Ghadana praised at film festivals, theatres
Krishand has a significant following due to his directorials, Aavasavyuham and Purusha Pretham, which can be watched on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium. Sangarsha Ghadana was anticipated to gain more popularity and recognition during its online run because few people saw it in theatres when it was released in August.
In this movie, Rahul Rajagopal, Mahi, Zhinz Shan, Jayesh L R, Megha Ranjini Krishnan, and Mrudula Murali play supporting roles alongside Vishnu Agasthya and Sanoop Padaveedan. The Best Feature Film prize from the previous year's Paradise Film Festival was one of Sangarsha Ghadana's several accolades. Sangarsha Ghadana, which discusses the art of battle, was inspired by Sun Tzu's book.
