Rudra Simhasanam' is a bombshell of sorts, that sends shockwaves up and down your spine, for all the wrong reasons. The tantric thriller that attempts to mix up mysticism with liberal doses of magic and mantra, very quickly makes it to the list of noted downers that have hit the screens this year.
It's a horrific story that Hymavathi (Nikki Galrani) tells, and one which is expected to make your hair stand on its end. Stand it does, but the exasperation that drives it to the standing point is one that is spurred by a laborious and yet futile strain to make it appealing.
Rudra Simhan (Suresh Gopi), the tantric maestro who had retreated from a worldly life, has no other choice but to return, since the lesser beings on the earth simply cannot do without availing his exclusive services. So return he does, with his hair tied up in a knot, and in a gala entry vouchsafes that the master means business.
Based on a best seller by the much popular writer Sunil Parameshwaran, 'Rudra Simhasanam' has a story that sounds better on print than on screen. Which is why, despite all the visual wizardry that is there, it strikes us as a daft piece that is inadvertently hilarious at times.
It also perhaps remains that the script that has been penned, has retained none of the resourcefulness of the story, and has been wrecked by dialogues that make your eyes pop out in sheer astonishment.
