‘Nikita Roy’ is not just a scared film, but it is one of the stories that continue in your mind even after leaving the cinema. Directed by Kush Sinha, the film has been released in theaters today. The film stars Sonakshi Sinha, Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal and Suhail Nayar. The length of this film is 1 hour 54 minutes. Dainik Bhaskar has rated the film a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
How is the story of the film?
The story begins with the character of Arjun Rampal, who is struggling with some unknown fear inside. Gradually the atmosphere that creates on the screen, he draws the viewer with him. This is the form of a horror where the silence is scared. The film keeps a social issue, superstition under the purview of the thriller and shows the struggle of a girl who wants to fight against false babas, but herself gets entangled in that cycle.
How is the acting of Starcast?
The depth and seriousness that Sonakshi Sinha has shown in the role of ‘Nikita Roy’ is one of the most matured performance of her career. Paresh Rawal’s Baba Amardev’s character will bother you. Hidden cruelty and fear hidden in silence behind the smile makes him the most real villain of the film.
The relationship between Suhail Nayar and Sonakshi gives an emotional thread to the film. At the same time, Arjun Rampal’s screen presence may have been limited, but his presence brings stagnation in the story, I wish he was given a little more screen time.
How is the film direction and technical side?
This is a debut film of Kush Sinha as a director, but the understanding of his story tell looks quite matured. To create fear, he did not resort to traditional horror tricks, nor vigorous background music, nor cheap fear from sudden emerging faces. Rather, he has made the real fear felt through the atmosphere, camera movement and script. The translation of the script written by Pawan Kripalani on the screen is quite balanced. There is no additional drama in the story, nor melodrama. The cinematography of Bogdana Orlenova has deepened every frame. The fog, lights and shadows together make the audience a part of the film. Editing could have been slightly tight, especially the first half pulls some places.
How is the music of the film?
The songs are very rare in the film and this is also its specialty. The background score has supported the story without overpower. Especially in climax scene, music and sound design make fear more deadly than silence.
Final Wordict, see or not?
If you want to watch such a thriller film which is not just scared, but also questions the black truths spread in the society, then this film is for you. Sonakshi’s serious acting, Paresh Rawal’s presence and Kush Sinha’s direction makes it special.
