Gulabo Rani

About This Movie

Gulabo Rani is a curious addition to the horror genre, featuring a young boy, Akhtar, who unwittingly stumbles into a century-old university’s eerie Wing C. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the dilapidated setting feels almost like a character itself, enhancing the unsettling feeling throughout. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build in a way that feels classic yet fresh. Practical effects are emphasized, offering a tangible sense of horror that CGI often lacks. Performances lean into the surreal, with Akhtar oscillating between innocence and the stark realities of his surroundings, which pushes the narrative into deeper psychological territory. There's a certain charm to its imperfections, making it a distinct entry in recent horror.
