Sruthi Raman The Hollywood Reporter India 1d
A ruthless spirit meets a toothless horror comedy. Go to Full Review Sashidhar Adivi Filmfare 3d
3/5
Overall, Korean Kanakaraju blends familiar Tollywood commercial tropes with stylised cross-border action and supernatural comedy. It thrives on its inventive ghost-comedy mechanics and delivers a reasonably entertaining theatrical experience. Go to Full Review Sangeetha Devi Dundoo The Hindu 4d
Korean Kanakaraju leans heavily on Sathya’s comic timing, and he delivers, as always. But there is only so much heavy lifting he can do when the writing lets him down. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 5d
Korean Kanakaraju is wretched on every single level. It doesn't know if it wants to be a crime comedy or a horror movie and ends up failing at being both. It's a disjointed and bloated story about a gangster ghost possessing the body of a young man. Go to Full Review Yashaswini Sri The Indian Express 6d
2/5
In the right hands, with a screenplay that treated both cultures with equal curiosity and found its comedy in the human moments rather than the stereotypes, this could have been something genuinely special. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
