REVIEW
 
Karthi's Kashmora, is a multi-genre film directed by Gokul. The SR Prabhu-produced movie has Nayanthara and Sri Divya playing the female leads. Vivek, Sharath Lohitashwa, Madhusudhan Rao and many others are also in the cast.
 
Om Prakash is the cinematographer, while VJ Sabu Joseph has handled the editing department. Santhosh Narayanan is the music director of Kaashmora. He has churned out a few hit tracks like 'Thakida Thakida,' 'Jagadhamma' and 'Oyaa Oyaa.'
 
Karthi plays a triple role in the movie of which two characters (self-obsessed warlord named Raj Nayak and a black magician) have been revealed. The third role has been kept as a surprise for the audience. Nayanthara has enacted the role of princess Nayanthara and Sri Divya will be seen as a PhD student, who is doing a research on sorcery.
 
STORY
 
The film starts off with an interesting flashback fantasy story that happens 700 years ago. It shows a king who had 13 mighty warriors and leading those 13 was Raj Nayak. Raj Nayak brought pride, wealth and a lot of other smaller kingdoms to his King. But then the greatness comes to an end, and due to a curse his spirit gets captivated. And in present, Kaashmora, a fraud who feeds on people's fear and ignorance. In this Gokul's fantasy, both worlds meet. What follows is a tale of magic, ghosts, humour and visual magnificence.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
Kaashmora promises to entertain viewers with its fantasy and horror elements. The movie travels 500 years back and gets connected to the present-day happenings. Interestingly, the flick does not have romance despite two female leads. The film is set to give a new experience to the Tamil cine goers with its 30-minute period portion. A particular sequence has been shot using 360-degree omnidirectional camera rig and this is the first Indian movie to use this technology.
 
Karthi has mesmerized all the audience with his performance. The film purely belongs to Karthi. The young actor has proved that he is such a blessed performer like his brother Suriya. He excelled as the young Kashmora and the brave warrior. Nayanthara and Sri Divya shared scintillating on-screen chemistry with Karthi, and it is a real treat to watch.

Santhosh Narayanan Music and Background Score is apt for the film. Art direction is done by Rajeevan. The editing work is done by V J Sabu Joseph whereas Om Prakash has taken care of cinematography.
