Ananya Panday's film offers an intriguing concept about AI's impact on life and love but falters with a tedious execution, ultimately failing to deliver a compelling message.

Director Vikramaditya Motwane succeeds in creating the mood, moments, and message but the thriller 'CTRL' lacks the killer punch

I was surprised, though, when it turned into a genuine paranoid thriller. Allen isn’t a rogue AI, like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey; there are deeper conspiracies at work. This is a film for an age of dwindling Internet freedom,

Also starring Vihaan Samat, Aparshakti Khurana, Suchita Trivedi, Devika Vatsa, Ravish Desai, etc in key roles, CTRL happens to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Interestingly, CTRL revolves around a young couple Joe Mascarenhas and Nella Awasthi (played by Vihaan and Ananya respectively) whose life revolves around social media.

A bump in the relationship compels Nella into signing away her privacy to an app called CTRL. The AI avatar Allen (voiced by Aparshakti Khurana) promises to be a new friend, philosopher and guide. Just as surely as Allen is an anagram for Nella, CTRL isn’t the tech Utopia Nella thinks it is.

In this Netflix original film, Vikramaditya Motwane expertly crafts a relatable universe, while Ananya Panday skillfully captures the complexities of her character.

Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane experiments with the format in his latest Ctrl, starring Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat. Nella Awasthi (Panday) and Joe Mascarena (Samat) are the ‘It Couple;.Till one day,

Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat take full ‘control’ of this thriller which will act as a wake-up call for many!

As Ananya Panday’s CTRL is set to release on Netflix, the makers had a special screening of the film lately. Here’s what the celebs have to say about CTRL

CTRL is packed with thrill, surprise and novelty. Vikramaditya Motwane opts for a screenlife format that makes the overall experience even more immersive.
