Synopsis

Follows a Rayalaseema youth named Kanakaraju whose life upends when a vessel from Korea brings a spirit that possesses him, transforming him into Korean Kanakaraju.
Moviegoers are saying
Korean Kanakaraju emerges as a horror-comedy that lives and dies by Satya's stellar performance, with audiences unanimously praising his comic timing while lamenting a disastrous AI-heavy climax that derails an otherwise decent first half. Despite Varun Tej's adequate performance and Thaman S's effective background score, the film struggles with pacing issues and predictable second-half storytelling that only Satya's entertainment value can salvage.

    Satya never fails to make us laugh. But everything else feels forced to me. Varun tej put in a lot of effort but it did not connect to me. Ritika nayak is always beautiful. Thamans bgm looks like extension to OG bgm. Expected a lot more decent comedy movie like Venkatadri…

    Varun Tej could be more serious with his script selection. Rithika Nayak was completely wasted. Satya absolutely carried the film with his comedy & Rayalaseema accent was too good in the film
