The written material gives ample scope to the principal cast to spread their wings’ #AjayDevgn excels as the helpless parent; conveys fear, concern and vulnerability with precision’ #RMadhavan is outstanding; he is savage, vicious and sadistic, all combined, without going overboard.
After such a long time, it is a pleasure to watch the # Hindi movie # Jyotikal again on the screen. She’s in super form’ # JankiBodiwala gets to portray the most difficult part in the film and she does a brilliant job.
Director #VikasBahl charters into the supernatural territory for the first time and the execution of the subject keeps you on tenterhooks for most parts’ Only thing, the post-interval portions could’ve been sharper and tighter.
Last but not the least, a special mention of the terrific background score [#AmitTrivedi], it amplifies the tension and unsettling vibe.”
The movie is produced by Nambiar who has previously directed films like “Shaitan” “David” and “Taish” alongside Prabhu Antonych and Madhu Alexander.

The film has 7 to 8 edge-of-the-seat episodes, followed by an impactful finale act (last 30 minutes). Watch out for the pre-interval sequence and the third act of the film in the second half featuring “Daughter 1and1 Son”.”
