About This Movie

Aal has this tense, unsettling vibe that sticks with you. Ananda Krishnan crafts a narrative that pulls you in deep from the start, with a guy just back from vacation thrown into this nightmare. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge as he navigates the twisted instructions from a mysterious caller. There’s a real sense of dread that builds, especially as the protagonist realizes he’s caught in something much larger than just a kidnapping. The practical effects used during certain key scenes enhance the raw intensity. The performances feel grounded but layered, making you really invest in the character’s plight. It's a cerebral thriller that wrestles with themes of guilt and desperation, leaving an eerie aftertaste long after the credits roll.
