We have all heard the tale of Vikram and Vetaal.

But not like this.

On Mahashivratri, when the moon casts a crimson glow and bats scurry across the night sky, the Vetaals appear from the shadows to take revenge against an ancient custom led by a sadistic demigod.

The only one who stands between them and the future of humankind is Vikramaditya, the king of Avantika. But to battle against these dark forces, he needs an ally. An ally who whispers with blood between his teeth, the one who speaks in riddles—the original Veetal. Will Vikramaditya be able to convince the Veetal to help him defeat this unbeatable enemy?

Listen to Kevin Missal's reimagining of an ancient tale to find out. This is a story that will make your heart race and keep you hooked till the very end.

As usual one more best story of Kevin Missl and better narration. Loved everything about the story.

Good Story

the way the story is written felt flat to me. the characters are not introduced well and you are expected to know everything about them in the first place. the sentences used are somewhat simple and almost feels too childish. Even the story development is weird, for example over of the characters is said to be 14 but was fascinated with cutting up bodies. this is clearly psychopathic behavior but is shown as a curious doctor to be.
the main villain is said to be just and a follower of Shiva and protector of the innocent but kills all unborn children in the entire city. so the characterization was not accurate.

voice acting: some of the voices are over done like the vetal voice. I feel the lack of empathy and thus am unable to connect to the characters. There were some pronunciation errors but it did not hinder my understanding.

overall I'm disappointed in the story line and characterization of the people from a classic tale.

twist to the original story?

The story could have been more elaborate as it has been with other Kevin’s works. However, the voice modulation was very good and kept me hooked.

Very good

Story is good. But the performance is outstanding. And the background music is above par.
