Killing Veerappan Movie Review:
“Killing Veerappan” Kannada version was released on 1 January and has got good reviews from the critics and the audience. It has done stupendous business of around Rs 10 Crores in the first weekend.
The Telugu version of the movie has engrossing script and good characterisation. Lead actors like Shivaraj Kumar, Sandeep Bharadwaj, Yagna Shetty and Parul Yadav have delivered fantastic performance. The movie has rich production elements and Ravi Shankar’s music and Rammy’s cinematography are the big attractions in the technical front.

All India Roundup Rating: 2.75/5
Final Verdict:
Killing Veerappan is sensational, thrilling even, but not convincing enough for it is more about Shivarajkumar than about Veerappan. You can watch it to know in detail about the cocoon operation of assailing Veerappan.
