The dynamics between Ram and Mamta, especially with her background as a prostitute’s daughter, create a tension that’s palpable. The pacing has its lulls, but it builds up to some striking moments, especially in how it portrays the clash of wealth and morality. The practical effects, while perhaps not groundbreaking, serve the film's eerie ambiance well. The performances carry a weight of desperation and longing that resonates throughout. It’s a unique blend of horror and social commentary that lingers with you after the credits roll.
