CTRL

The movie doesn't start with a bang. Ten minutes into the film, I was cursing myself for watching it. Then I came here to check the reviews and saw only two reviews, each with a rating of 1. I knew these ratings were unfair, so I decided to give the movie a shot. Honestly, the movie is decent-I'd rate it a 5 or 6. It's a one-time watch; the concept is new, and while I agree it is inspired by "Her," "Black Mirror," and others, at least someone is trying.

The acting by both leads is good, but the supporting actors are lackluster and overacted. The cameos were cool. Out of the three new actresses, I find Ananya to be the better actor, so pardon me if you feel the movie deserves a 5 instead of a 6.

From the start to the end it have a very gripping story. It kept me hooked to the very end the suspense and drama. This movie have a eerie and dark plot. It shows how tech companies not just have access to you data but life and if they want to they will not only sell your data but can write down your kundali from start to end.

This also goes to show that we as a society should keep these things in check and Govt need to establish some good law and regulations around Cyber Security.

Ananya Pandey & Vihaan Samat performance is remarkably good, especially Ananya. Supporting actors felt dull and that maybe cause they have less scene time.

I have watched some other tech/internet centric movies from Bollywood which are just bizarre, stupid and revolve around love life and melodrama.

I will say that it should be an 1:15min long film cause their are some still frames and it was clear they stretched the run time.

I enjoyed the way the story was told; it's a well written script, albeit a tad too long.

The plot was convincing enough and Ananya played the part to the T.

Yet, as the plot unravels the storyline becomes very meta and in your face. The last twenty minutes felt rushed and I think it would have worked better as a mini series. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this dystopian take on social media and glad it's not a stereotypical Bollywood film.

The direction was ace. The Cinematography was cool and the editing was pacy.

This was a haunting depiction of the social media space as we see it today. I look forward to more such films in this genre in the future.

"CTRL" (2024) presents a chillingly relevant exploration of our digital lives, tapping into the anxieties of a generation increasingly reliant on technology. While the film offers a thought-provoking premise and a glimpse into the potential consequences of our online presence, it ultimately falls short of its full potential.

Ananya Panday delivers a commendable performance as the protagonist, navigating the complexities of her character's predicament with conviction. The film's exploration of themes such as online privacy, social media addiction, and the blurring lines between the virtual and real world is both timely and relevant.

However, "CTRL" suffers from pacing issues and a narrative that occasionally feels convoluted. While the central premise is intriguing, the execution could have benefited from a more focused approach. The film's attempts to delve into deeper philosophical questions about technology and human connection feel somewhat underdeveloped.

Despite its flaws, "CTRL" is a worthwhile watch for its thought-provoking premise and Ananya Panday's compelling performance. It serves as a cautionary tale about the potential dangers of our digital lives, prompting viewers to reflect on their own relationship with technology.
