The thriller series Gyaarah Gyaarah, released by Karan Johar‘s Dharmatic Entertainment on ZEE5, starred Raghav Juyal, Kritika Kamra, Dhairya Karwa, and Gautami Kapoor in the lead roles. The show has managed to captivate the audience with its riveting subject and honest performances.

Though Holi is a holiday, it’s not an...

On the positive side, social media provides a platform for individuals to share thoughts, ideas, and emotions with a global audience instantly. At the same time, a significant downside of this virtual existence is the constant need for validation and the pressure to curate an idealized version of one’s life. This can lead to anxiety, insecurity, and a distorted sense of self-worth. So, when a film addresses these themes, won’t it risk appearing preachy since we are already aware of these issues? This is where Vikramaditya Motwane’s recent outing stands out. The film is fully aware of its ambitions but isn’t overly self-assured, nor does it undermine the viewer’s intellect. It doesn’t suffer from an inferiority complex, nor does it try to pretend it’s smarter than the audience. What we get is an engrossing screen life thriller that plays out on screens—a computer,...

Vikramaditya Motwane’s Ctrl offers a thought-provoking exploration of digital personas and their impact on reality. Through the story of Nella Awasthi (Ananya Panday), the film dives into the cost of living in a hyperconnected, virtual world. With a unique narrative style, Ctrl mixes entertainment and sobering truths about life in the digital age.

The Virtual World Unveiled

Ctrl centers around Nella Awasthi, a Delhi girl who’s lived in Mumbai for six years. Her digital success as an influencer brings her to confront the deeper implications of a life consumed by reels, brands, and likes. The movie reveals that beneath this glamorous facade lies the heavy toll of disconnection from real emotions.

The Thrills and Risks of a Digital Life

The movie raises important questions about the costs of building an online persona. Through fast-paced storytelling, it explores how digital life influences relationships, ambitions, and personal identity. Nella’s...

Have you ever wanted to delete your bad ex from your brain so you never have to think about them again? That’s the premise of the Indian film Ctrl, which follows a young social media star whose heartache inspires her to remove every shred of online evidence of her cheating ex. But the app she uses to erase all trace of him is much more dangerous than she realizes. From director Vikramaditya Motwane (Sacred Games), the digital thriller Ctrl stars Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat.

“With the amount of time we spend on our devices, screen time is now redefined as screen life,” Motwane told Netflix. “The question is, are we actually in control of all the digital extensions of our life, or are we being controlled? That’s the [question] Ctrl tries to explore.”

Nella (Panday) and...

“Ctrl” is a movie directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and starring Ananya Panday.

Now streaming on Netflix is a captivating comedy-thriller featuring Ananya Panday, titled “Ctrl”. This film masterfully deceives its audience, perhaps to an excessive degree: what begins as a conventional comedy gradually morphs into a gripping thriller revolving around artificial intelligence, omnipotent software corporations, and the murky waters of data espionage. This genre-blending piece effortlessly transitions from a light-hearted romantic comedy to a suspenseful thriller in the blink of an eye. It’s a movie that ensures viewers have an engaging and thoroughly entertaining experience. Well-crafted with a narrative that, while familiar, feels incredibly relevant today.

Plot Summary

The story kicks off with a classic romantic premise: a girl meets a boy, and they fall deeply in love. They’ve been inseparable since their teenage years, knowing no other life until she catches her boyfriend in a compromising situation with a friend,...

The internet has become a dark place that has made each one of us live a very lonesome double life. I mean, living a life based on the validation of others—basking in glory or facing relentless trolling over even the slightest mistake on the internet—has become the new social norm, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with. Netflix’s new original Ctrl (2024) explores how the internet is slowly killing us and how tech moguls are smoothly monetizing our insecurities, trying to take absolute control of our lives based on our digital footprints.

Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, who co-wrote the script with Avinash Sampath and Sumukhi Suresh, Ctrl (2024) is a dark film that explores how the lives of an influencer couple—Nella and Joe—is thrown into chaos when Joe cheats on Nella, prompting her to use an AI app to erase him from her life.

I’ve watched my fair share of cyberhorror films and, for the most part, enjoyed them for their newness and zeal. Vikramaditya Motwane’s Ctrl is certainly an ambitious film. There’s no denying that it’s got something that urges you as a viewer to keep watching. Ctrl tells the story of Nella Awasthi and her boyfriend Joe, who’ve become famous thanks to their relationship being a tool for their income. The perfect life of this seemingly impeccable couple is shattered when Nella tries to surprise Joe for their 5th anniversary and instead finds him kissing another girl. Nella immediately shuts Joe out. However, wild things start happening when Nella installs a new app to erase his memory from her life forever.

First things first, is Ctrl worth your time at all? I’d say definitely. Some editing would’ve definitely done it some good though, but, having said that,...

Sharing more about his role and preparation, Aarya says, “I really enjoyed it; it was a lot of fun shooting with the co-actors. Let me confess—I am scared of watching horror content. I can’t even watch horror movies on TV or in cinemas, nor can I listen to horror stories. So, as an actor, it was a challenge to be part of this project and convey emotions I couldn’t bear to watch. I took it as a challenge to make the audience believe.
