User Reviews

Simple movie with wonderful treatment

Story: There is a saying that the spirit of a deceased person who succumbed to untimely demise would not leave this earth. The spirit would stay on the earth to complete the unfulfilled task. Arundhati is a thriller made on the tussle between such a spirit (Anushka) and a villain (Sonu Sood). This film is not a horror film, but a thriller.

First half of the film is excellent and the second half is good. Arundhati is a film which we can proudly show it as a Telugu film to all your non-Telugu friends. Don't watch it on internet or pirated DVDs. Arundhati is a film that must be watched in a good theater with nice sound/projection system. This is one of the movies which is going to take telugu movie industry to new heights.
