    Boring

    Disappointed I went in with decent expectations - the title sounded interesting, and I thought maybe this would be a decent horror-thriller with a fresh storyline. But within the first 20 minutes, I could already feel that something was off. The film just drags. It tries to build suspense, but instead of feeling tense or intrigued, I felt bored and disconnected.

    . There's no real depth in the story, and everything feels too surface-level. The so-called mystery or horror elements are predictable, and if you've seen even a couple of decent thrillers, you'll guess most of the plot twists before they even happen. It's not that every film needs to shock the audience, but at least keep us engaged - this one failed at that.

    Scenes feel stretched unnecessarily, dialogues are dull, and there's a lot of "build-up" that leads nowhere. It feels like the movie keeps promising that something big or scary is about to happen - but that moment never truly arrives. It just keeps dragging you through the mud.

    I didn't feel emotionally connected to any of them. Nikita Roy's character could've been so much more powerful and layered, but she's written so flatly that even her struggles don't evoke empathy. I kept waiting for her character to grow, or at least show some spark - but it never happens. The side characters feel like they were added just to fill space.

    Which I was hoping would at least make up for the weak story, is average at best. The lighting, angles, and visuals lack creativity, and the "darkness" element in the title hardly translates into anything visually gripping. The **background music** too was underwhelming. In horror or thriller films, music plays such a huge role in setting the mood - but here, it didn't really enhance any scene. In fact, it made some scenes feel even flatter.

    By the time the film reached its climax, I was just hoping it would end soon. And when it did, it didn't leave me with anything to remember - no moment that stuck with me, no performance that stood out, nothing. It's one of those films where you walk out of the theatre (or finish it online) and forget it within an hour.

    I'm not trying to be harsh, but as a viewer, you expect at least some return on your time and attention. This film honestly felt like a missed opportunity. There was a good concept somewhere underneath, but it got buried under poor execution, bad pacing, and weak writing.

    Watch it only if you have absolutely nothing else to do...

    Triller - must watch movie

    Brilliant movie. Triller and twists omg.

    Sonakshi, arjun, parwash and all actors did amazing job.

    Direction was superb and story is well written.

    Cinametograpy was good.

    Story flows with movie.

    Superb.

    I can watch again too.

    I have low expectations but it just passed way to high my expectations.

    The way it holds crime, triller, action, horror and twists uff, be ready for time and again twists which hook you on the seat from first to last.

    I didn't feel bored from very start to last.

    Beyond my expectations.

    Must watch .

    Highly recommend.

    If you are movie lover, most go.

    Didn't expect last twist.

    It's going to be a masterpiece

    Nikita roy is such a fantastic movie which horror suspense fans will love most We should appreciate films like this. Now coming back to review nice performance by actors🌟, nice cinematography🌟, nice storyline🌟 and most likely nice sound effects🌟 and one more star for the climax🌟 it's just not a horror movie but also the philosophy behind it is interesting. I appreciate the work of whole team specially sonakshi and paresh rawal jii and as I became the fan of sound effects, Not a single time movie feels boring. A must watch film and also you can enjoy it how much time you want. I also think if I would have saw this on big screens and recommendit too. I recommend you to watch this world class quality film and enjoy.also big appreciation to kush sinha As director.
