Kakuda: Riteish Deshmukh’s Horror-Comedy Film to Release a Day Early
Well, here comes the day when Riteish Deshmukh’s long-awaited horror-comedy drama, “Kakuda”, would now be released a day before. The much-talked-about horror-comedy offers audiences both facets in one film. Here is a closer view of what to look for in “Kakuda” and why there is so much noise about it.
A Fresh Take on Horror-Comedy
“Kakuda” comes across as a refreshing addition to the horror-comedy genre and, therefore, a category in which Bollywood films have been tripping up for quite a long time recently. Scaring and tickling are a very challenging combination, but Riteish Deshmukh, an accomplished actor of versatility, is the right kind of material to handle this task. From playing light-hearted roles in films like “Housefull” and “Dhamaal” to handling volatile, dark roles like in “Ek Villain”, he has indeed dabbled in different genres of films in his career so far.
In “Kakuda,” Deshmukh plays a character who gets entangled in a series of weird and funny situations. The story is based on a haunted village and its residents’ plight in the face of a mysterious curse. While Deshmukh’s character, with his co-stars, strives to unravel the truth surrounding the said curse, they get entangled in a mixture of eerie and light-hearted experiences which manage to keep the audiences enthralled.
Impressive Ensemble Cast.
Other than Riteish Deshmukh, “Kakuda” has a few more talented actors who increase its worth. The cast of the movie includes dynamic Sonakshi Sinha, with her energies portrayed earlier in action films and comedies, as well as talented Saqib Saleem, previously seen in dramatic and light-hearted movies. The chemistry shared among the three main actors should be among the high points of the movie, as their very interaction exudes oodles of humor and drama.
Sonakshi Sinha plays the role of an adventurous and feisty girl ready to take on the most haunted village. With her confident screen presence and flair for comedy, she seems perfect for the role. Saqib Saleem brings his brand of charm and suave wit into the film, adding depth with his performance in the story.
Behind the Scenes
Aditya Sarpotdar, the director of “Kakuda”, has earlier worked in the Marathi film industry where he has also directed many successful films. With the film “Kakuda,” he is going to make his entry into Bollywood, and that will definitely be an interesting new chapter in his career. He is going to ensure that horror and comedy are placed in the right elements to make it well-balanced and entertaining.
The screenplay is by Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg. From the trailer itself, this film has been touted as a blend of thrills and laughs. The writers have worked out a story that will not only scare the audience but also make them laugh, thereby promising them a fun and entertaining ride from start to finish.
Early Release Excitement
Well, the long-awaited decision to release “Kakuda” a day in advance clearly surged the fan base due to overexcitement. Though initially slated for release on, it will now finally hit the floors on. It is one clever move to get up the momentum of the film and garner as large an audience as possible.
The news sent fans into a frenzy on social media, sharing their anticipation of the movie. Early drop puts “Kakuda” ahead at the box office, thus capitalizing on the buzz and attracting an even bigger audience.
What to Expect
In “Kakuda,” audiences should be ready for an adjective-laden ride of emotions ranging from scream-out-loud horror to laugh-out-loud humor, all combined into a structure that will hold the viewer entrapped. That constitutes what is very unique about “Kakuda”: hor-com blending plus good performances by the lead actors.
The special effects and makeup also shouldn’t pass without mention. Enough is the effort that the team has put into designing realistic visuals to make them blood-curdling and add to the horror element in the movie. At the same time, the comic bits have been worked out to provide relief and keep the tone light.
Conclusion
“Kakuda” is sure to be one of the landmark films in Riteish Deshmukh’s career in terms of fleshing out the actor that has been hidden within him with a genre as tough to handle but so very entertaining.
