About This Movie

Asthram is an intriguing crime thriller that really pulls you in with its dark atmosphere. The visuals are haunting, particularly how it captures the eeriness of the crime scenes. Inspector Akilan's character feels layered, driven by a personal stake in the case, which adds depth to his pursuit of the truth. The pacing is quite tight, with each revelation feeling like a jolt. There’s a sense of dread that permeates the narrative, especially as it explores the themes of despair and the fragility of life. I was impressed by the practical effects used in the staging of the suicides; they have a raw quality that adds to the unsettling mood. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, who embodies the complexity of a detective grappling with his own demons.
