Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, it is the story of the way a young social media influencer Nella, who begins relying on AI assistant Allen, voiced by Aparshakti Khurrana, to manage different aspects of her life. As soon as the AI begins making decisions for her, Nella’s life takes quite a haywire turn.

For directing ace Anurag Kashyap, this is the “career-best performance,” since he says she brought depth to a character that demands both fragility and strength. Panday has had much applause for the authenticity and relatability of her portrayal amidst social media and AI domination.

While CTRL is a thrilling thriller in premise, viewers saw potential at the end of the film begging for just a little more exploration. Themes involving social media addiction, AI control, and personal agency were drawn pretty well in the film, leaving much more into the potential dangers of AI. Still, though with this small fault, the movie’s ‘visually told’ storytelling, and Panday’s performance almost tug it into one of the most engaging releases of this yearโ€‹.

Final Verdict

CTRL is an exciting thriller that hooks the audience and sticks to its plot quite well with today’s world and technology. Ananya Panday delivers a role that requires an actress to be both emotionally vulnerable and resilient, and there is the support of the cast and direction to make the movie a classic for psychological thriller fans.

Rating: 4/5
