FootFairy, written and directed by Kanishk Varma, revolves around the mysterious serial killings happening in Mumbai and CBI’s Vivaan Deshmukh’s (Gulshan Devaiah) attempts to nab the killer. But, instead of going for a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase vibe, Varma displays the tiring nature of such cases, how it spills into one’s personal life, and how ignorant an entire city stays despite the heinous nature of the crime. The movie is paced beautifully, the writing is compact, and is held together masterfully by an Devaiah.

The cinematography is by Pratik Deora, editing by Sumit Purohit, dialogues by Ashish Prakash Verma, costume design by Shivank Kapoor and Jewellyn Alvares, production design by Ajay Jadhav, action direction by Faiyaz Sayed, and sound design by Avinash Sonavane. It stars Gulshan Devaiah, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Sagarika Ghatge, Ashish Pathode, Karan Arvind Bendre, Yogesh Soman, Muskan Bamne, Payal Thapa, and more. The story is centered around Vivaan Deshmukh (Devaiah) who is heading a case about a serial killer that murders young women, cuts off their feet, and puts them on display by stuffing them in a trolley bag and putting it near a railway station. Deshmukh, along with his partners Harish (Ashish) and Rishabh (Karan), tries everything in his power to bring the case to a close before more lives are taken but only ends up going in circles.

FootFairy is now streaming on Netflix.
