An absorbing and tantalizing thriller
Seldom do you come across a Bollywood splatter film that delivers an astonishingly gruesome and thrilling plot with such grace. Mind you, the this film is not your average run off the mill bollywood thriller flick.
The plot centres around Anuja (Kashmira Irani) and Neha (Swarda Thigle) who are teachers at a government school in Nagpur. The two are appointed by government authorities to conduct a census survey of nearby villages. As they are about to wrap up their assignment, they land up on the final house on their list - an outlandish mansion situated in the middle of nowhere. With no neigbours for miles, the house is completely cut off from human civilisation. In spite of their misgivings, Anuja and Sharda decide to enter the outlandish mansion, only to realize that things are not as they seem as.
Debutant director Pushkar Mahal has done an outstanding job and never for once do you get the impression that this is his first feature film. Every character has a complex backstory which we learn as the film progresses. The entire cast delivers an exceptional performance but the lead actresses Kashmira Irani and Swarda Thigle merit a special mention due to their riveting performance. The background score is spot on and magnifies the bloodcurling intesity of the film. Overall, this is a thrilling entertainer and definitely deserves more recognition. Watch this if you are looking for a fresh breath of air.
