Plot

Lovers Ashok and Yashika decided to take a vacation, and they went to stay in a farmhouse. They met some strangers, and disturbing things started to happen to both the lovers. The most disappointing and shocking thing for Ashok is that Yashika and her family members were doing those things to that. Strangers were Yashika's family members, and they had planned to take revenge on Ashok and his friends because they had molested Yashika's sister Priyanka. Therefore, Yashika and her family members planned to kill Ashok and his friends to exact their revenge.

Cast

Production

The production of the film began before Yashika suffered a serious injury in June 2021. [1]

Reception

The film was released on 8 July 2022. [2] A critic from The Times of India wrote "The film starts off as a horror thriller and becomes a revenge drama towards the climax. There are many twists in the second half, but they generate little interest as the director fails to realise that viewers would be interested in the post-interval sequences only if the first half is bearable, which is not the case here". [3] A reviewer from Dina Thanthi called the film "predictable". [4] India herald critic noted that " A worst every movie made" [5]
