BLUF 

A pregnant woman is alone in her house while her meme maker husband is speaking to her on phone about the work of art he created. Not enthused about her husband’s talents, she is still on the phone when her husband’s car is hit by a lorry on the side tossing the vehicle into the air. The wife, who is still on the phone, is helpless as she hears the sound of the crash and the eventual death of her husband. In another thread, a child psychologist Samyuktha (Aishwarya Rajesh), her husband Gautham (Vidhu), their son Sindhu, her sister-in-law Aditi (Madhuri), and a friend Gayathri (Surya Ganapathy) drive into the forest to assess a property project. At night, Gayathri seems to be exchanging messages with an old buddy with who she has just reconnected, only to realize that the friend she was chatting with had been dead for a few hours. The friend is Krishna — the man from the opening scene accident. The horror story stirs then.

THE MEAT AND THE POTATOES:

R Prasad’s latest movie Boomika, streaming on Netflix, is a fresh take on the horror genre.
