ReviewVikrant Rona has been marketed as an “action adventure fantasy” film — but strangely, it doesn’t fall into any of the three genres.Sowmya RajendranFacebookA car breaks down in the middle of a forest.

Vikrant Rona has been marketed as an “action adventure fantasy” film. That’s three genres, but strangely, it doesn’t fall into any of them. The film is about a fictional village called Kamarottu where several children have been murdered, and the inspector investigating the case is also killed and dumped into a well. Is there a supernatural reason behind the murders or is there a serial killer in the village?...
