However, they start to experience several paranormal activities in the guest house which leaves them shocked and terrified. A departed soul wants to convey a message to them.
Aishwarya Rajesh as Samyukthadoes a wonderful show. She gives a measured performance. Both Vidhu and Surya Ganapathy do justice to their roles. Avantika as autistic child os the scene-steer. Pavel Navageethan does give his best.
Roberto Zazzara’s camera and Prithvi Chandrasekhar’s background music adds strength to the movie. Rathindran’s writing is good. He made sure a greater message can be conveyed without being preachy.
The movie has engaging moments and a myst watch for those who love horror films.
