It shows some dark secrets of society that was never covered. I was stunned by the violence. I feel that raising issues and expressing messages through films is a very good thing, of course, with guidance, because not everyone is able to filter information properly.

Two Schoolteachers go to an isolated house for census and what they encounter there is a Woman's worst nightmare. Based on a true story, this cabin thriller boasts of terrific performances and a riveting screenplay that is harrowing to watch for the viewers. Its strictly not for family and women will find it really difficult to sit through this. The theme of Women's horrifying subjugation at the hands of men is the core of the film. The cinematography is amazing for a film of this scale. But bad editing, some visual choices for budgetary reasons and excessive use of background score stops it from becoming a truly great film.

It's rare to see a slasher thriller that is this grounded especially in Indian films. The actors looked like real people and spoke in multiple languages instead of all of them speaking Hindi like how it would be in a state like Maharashtra that it kept taking me out of the film because how much Bollywood has been faking with its perfect Hindi for so long. The fact that this is based on a true story is not so much of a surprise nowadays if we follow the national news but it's still gruesome and despicable.

Pretty good. Somewhat reminded me of Tobe Hooper's 1978 horror classic THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE but little less gritty or raw and without any chainsaw or machete wielding maniacs. Liked the way they didn't try to right away rip off TCM, instead built a disturbing, yet relatable, well executed horror film that includes contexts like patriarchy, child abuse & dysfunctional family dynamics with Indian settings & characters.

Just watch it. It's bold and will keep you hooked until the very last minute. Not even a single dull moment. HOWEVER, it is very disturbing and graphic.
