Analysis:
The male lead Munna Kasi comes up with a good performance. He looks settled in his role. Also, he composed the music and background score for the film. He has delivered on both the fronts. Munna hits the right chord with Heza as his narration and screenplay are gripping.

Lizzee is a good find and she does what is needed of her. Her acting in the climax is impressive. The likes of Mumait Khan and Bigg boss fame, Nutan Naidu play their roles well.

Tanikella Bharani is seen in a pivotal role and his presence adds more depth to the proceedings.

The cinematographer, Nani Chamidisetty does a fine job. The production values are good and the producer VN Voleti is to be commended. The film is technically sleek and that gives a new movie-watching experience.

Verdict: All in all, Heza is a gripping horror drama that can be watched for its intriguing storyline and technical finesse.
