What happened to Siddharth? Forms the crux of Aghathiyaa.
Aghathiyaa’s review
“Demanding a suspension of disbelief that would make gravity jealous, the film throws historical drama and fantasy into a blender with audacity, if not precision. It wobbles on a tightrope, occasionally slipping but never quite falling into the abyss of absurdity below. It’s during the climax that Aghathiyaa fully embraces its fantasy aspirations. It may not always make sense, but it doesn’t fail to entertain.”
