Pindam

It's actually a 30 min short film which they extended to 2 and half hours with unnecessary and slow dragging filler scenes. The story isn't that great either and the ending is not satisfactory. Kind of reminded of the western horror movies where the entire movie is built on a short premise and the entire movie is just the characters acting counterintuitively and slowly walk towards the danger rather than away from it. There was potential to use some of the elements introduced in the movie and actually build a universe out of it with it's own laws on how god and ghosts work but none of that expanded upon. It's an empty shell of a movie with a wasted potential.

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.

I wanted the movie for Eswarti rao, what a performance she has out up. The catsof this movie is commendable, they all suit perfectly to the characters. None of the cast is big nor they are small, they all did justice to the characters. Srinivas avasarala was also an amazing character, the ending was just awesome. The director does a commendable job in handling all crafts perfectly, and montly the cast. What a selection of cast.

The two little girls did a fantastic job, really enjoyed watching the film till the end. Though I did not understand the film completely, I could connect the dots after rethinking. What a film this has been, I love horro films and this served me full meals as I got tired watchng all the nonsense horror films.

There are a few good and a few improvement points.

Direction is good.

Screenplay is slow. Misses a pace and could have been reduced to a length of 1.5 hr.

The horror isn't forced, has a backdrop.

Few jump scares are really good.

Casting of the main characters is good. Good acting by Srikanth and Easvari ji.

The plot is not new still keeps you engaged.

Much better than regular horror movies which pretend to be scary.

A bit gory though.

Climax is predictable amd can be guessed in the beginning itself.

My advice to makers- spare children being your target of scaring the audience.

Overall a 1-TIME-WATCH.

I really njoyd watching film. Starting is really slow but gripping, scary.

I will watch another time. Hindi dubbing was really good.

Waiting for Pindam part 2. The stroy ends in unexpected way, did ot expect the ending. My family also enjoyed, neat and clean film, and very scary to watch. Flashback was too good, how did the director shoot such sequence?? Very bold. My wife closed her eyes watchigng the flashback portion and was very scared. Telugu movies and directors are coming up with creative content, but our people here in bollywood are not, making time waste movies. Horror mocvies in bollywood are not that good, this movie was very scary and too much horror.

Thumbs up to the movie!!
