Director Arun Karthik’s film Ripupbury begins as a horror comedy and then slowly but surely turns into a crime thriller.

For a horror-comedy to work, the horror sequences should work as well as the comedy sequences. And the horror sequences of Ripupbury do just that.

The savage manner in which the victims are beheaded does send a shiver down your spine.

The movie also has organic humour. At no point, you would feel that the jokes are forced or artificial.

Mahendran, who impressed us with his performance in Master(2021) effortlessly slips into the character of Sathyaraj and carries the film on his shoulders.

Actresses Arati Podi and Kavya Arivumani deliver commendable performances in this engaging entertainer.

Director Arun Karthik seems to have been in a hurry to highlight too many things in his film. As a result, the story and its plot appear to be stretched.

Entertainment

From being a simple story about three funny youngsters, Ripupbury suddenly assumes a serious tone and looks to make a point about caste before again turning funny.

Entertainment

Despite all this, the film still manages to remain a light-hearted entertainer and that is what makes Ripupbury work.
