# Agadha: Unique horror setup let down by dated execution 2026-08-14T19:23:24+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Agadha, starring Kamakshi Bhaskarla as a healer blessed to cure possession, has received a 2/5 rating from m9.news. The review says the film's unique premise of a healer seeing deceased souls is fresh, but the execution is old-school and lacks thrill. The first half drags with excessive exposition, and the second half has predictable action. The climax is decent and adapts Hollywood influences well, but overall the film feels boring and emotionally disconnected. Directed by M.S. Raju, the film follows Mahadevi as her family faces mysterious deaths related to a curse. The review also notes a controversial segment in the second half, likely overlooked due to the film's small scale. Performances are adequate but forgettable, with background score and cinematography feeling dated. ## Coverage - pinkvilla.com - m9.news Tags: Agadha, Kamakshi Bhaskarla, M.S.
