Vishwamitra is an out and out suspense thriller which rests on its screenplay. Director Raj Kiran has taken this genre to the next level with a clean script. The movie never leaves you with a dull moment at all. Nanditha and Prasanna shine in their roles, with just the right emotions in every scene. Nanditha is a proven performer who wants to experiment with scripts. She carries Vishwamitra on her shoulders, as she shares a lot of screen space with Prasanna. As for the stranger in the movie, it is better to have it as a surprise.
