Here’s how netizens reacted:
Jatadhara is a fantasy action-adventure film that tells the story of Shiva (played by Sudheer Babu), a corporate employee who finds solace in hunting ghosts with his friends whenever he gets time.
Despite being on the lookout for supernatural entities, Shiva often associates such incidents with a person’s own innate fear of evil rather than any evil manifesting externally. However, her life takes a dark turn when she starts having recurring dreams of a child being attacked.
As Shiva discovers the truth behind these dreams, he discovers that his own life is linked to Dhan Pisachini (played by Sonakshi Sinha) – a demon who guards wealth. What follows is an intriguing story of the man’s journey to uncover his demonic origins and how his destiny unfolds thereafter.
Apart from the Baagi actor and Sonakshi, the film also stars Shilpa Shirodkar, Srinivas Avasarala, Pradeep Rawat, Indira Krishnan, Ravi Prakash, Rohit Pathak and many others in important roles.
