WATCH REVIEW
Alaya F is the star of this movie, and we are blown by the range of emotions she has portrayed.
This powerhouse of a woman has graced the screen with her performance alongside Manu Rishi Chadha, Shriidhar Dubey, and Aashim Gulati. It is not a copy-pasted remake version of the Kannada movie but a well-thought and executed version. The story is hardcore and keeps you hooked throughout the runtime.
It certainly has elements of horror that make your soul shiver. At the same time, it also has some non-serious elements, which make it less appealing. Overall, it has an appealing storyline, and it is told convincingly. However, the movie doesn’t meet your core expectations due to the faulty and shabbily written script. The writers started it on a gripping note, but the overshadowing of supernatural elements in the second half makes it dull.
The movie had the grit and ability to be entertaining and thrilling had they focused more on developing the core story and characterization. It has an impressive bg score, and the ensemble cast does give a brilliant performance throughout the movie. It will be a good weekend one-time watch if that is your purpose.
