    Eagerly waiting for part 2.

    Movie is very interesting, and I enjoyed the movie.

    In addition to its gripping narrative and superb performances, "Pindam" boasts stunning cinematography that captures the haunting beauty of its Appalachian setting. Every frame is meticulously composed to enhance the film's atmosphere of dread and foreboding.

    In conclusion, "Pindam" is a tour de force of psychological horror that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll. Saikiran has crafted a film that stands as a testament to the enduring power of the genre, delivering an unforgettable experience that will haunt your dreams and leave you questioning what lurks in the darkness. If you're a fan of atmospheric horror that gets under your skin and stays with you, do yourself a favor and seek out "Pindam." Just be sure to keep the lights on when you do.

    Hands down, best horror film in India till date.

    Hands down, it is the best horror film ever made in India.

    But there are many films in Hollywood that can easily beat Pindam, but I enjoyed watching it. Brilliant writing, performances, music and cinematography. The director does a very decent job in delivering a horror flick in the most believable way. The screenplay is also solid, though the climax is a bit cliched. The story is not properly conveyed, but I think the director wantedly left the gaps, he was creating a theme and wanted the audience to fill the gaps and form the story which for me is brilliant work. Not a lot of directors do this, as we like spoon feeding more. But this movie made me think a lot, which is what i liked. I was hooked to the film in the first few minutes and kept watching. Overall it is top notch, dubbing could be better.

    Worst ever movie

    I dont know how this movie get 8 rating i give 1 because there is no number below than that. From direction to coluring there is no perfection just look like crew and cast done this movie on a vaccation time. Horror movie have jump scares but in this movie editing itself jump everywhere there is no proper cuts. Story and screenplay wow the director vision clear to make this movie worst one and acting my god terrible "emandi" there is no emotion no logic no connection. I think director try to throw this movie in garbage mistakenly it falls on OTT. Audience who read reviews please escape yourself dont get fooled like me.

    Good horror film.

    I really watched and enjoyed the film. I don't understand why there are some negative reviews on here, its just a movie you watch it or you just watch something else. Are all these targeted reviews? They really just say very bad things about the movie and saying do not watch. Its a joke, these idiots have nothing to do but kill cinema industry. These idiots who are posting negative reviews about this movie have nothing to do but spread hatred, or may be they just want to show their jealousy.

    I am avid movie lover and I enjoyed thre film, the directror really knows how to engage the audience and how to tell a story. This is how a story is told. The horror was not missed anywhere and casting was very good, music was extraordinary, permormaces was very very nice. Overall very good movie.

    Very nice

    "Pindam" (2023) distinguishes itself within the horror genre by anchoring its supernatural narrative in deeply rooted cultural and familial anxieties. This Telugu film masterfully blends traditional Indian beliefs about ancestral spirits with a chilling tale of possession and haunting, creating a uniquely unsettling experience.

    Here's a breakdown of the key elements contributing to "Pindam's" effectiveness: * Cultural Grounding: * The film's title itself, "Pindam," refers to the ritual offering made to departed ancestors in Hindu tradition. This immediately establishes a connection to deeply ingrained cultural beliefs, lending a sense of authenticity and weight to the supernatural events.

    * The film intricately weaves in the concept of ancestral spirits and their potential to influence the living, tapping into a collective cultural fear and respect for the afterlife. This cultural context is vital for the viewer to understand the character's motivations, and the spirits power.

    * Familial Horror: * "Pindam" centers around a family grappling with a malevolent presence within their home. This focus on familial bonds amplifies the horror, as the threat directly targets the safety and well-being of loved ones.

    * The movie creates a feeling of dread, as the viewers watch a family become terrorized within their own home.

    * Atmospheric Tension: * The film excels at creating a palpable sense of dread through its atmospheric tension. The use of sound design, lighting, and camera angles effectively builds suspense, keeping viewers on edge throughout.

    * The sound design, and the visual effects, are used well to create a feeling of horror.

    * Thematic Depth: * Beyond the surface-level scares, "Pindam" explores themes of ancestral curses, unresolved past traumas, and the consequences of neglecting traditional rituals.

    * The film explores the importance of respecting traditions, and the danger of ignoring the past.

    * Realistic Portrayal: * The film uses realistic portrayals of family interactions. This allows the audience to connect with the characters, and therefore feel more fear when the characters are in danger.

    * The use of realistic acting, and settings, help to make the movie feel more real.

    In conclusion, "Pindam" (2023) is a compelling horror film that successfully blends cultural traditions with chilling supernatural elements. By grounding its narrative in familial anxieties and deeply rooted beliefs, it creates a uniquely unsettling and memorable cinematic experience.
