Pavan Kirpalani’s screenplay (additional screenplay by Neel Mohanty, Kussh S Sinha, Ankur Vijay Takrani) is lacklustre. Belal Khalique’s dialogues are just okay. Kussh S Sinha’s direction is not up to the mark. He is equipped with a great story about godmen. On top of it, there’s also bit of a supernatural element. Hence, if dealt well, this film could have made for a thrilling watch. Moreover, it starts on a chilling note. The first half is engaging and one expects fireworks in the second half. Sadly, the post-interval portions are boring. The entire investigate bit falls flat. Nikita presents herself as someone who will expose Amar Dev but in reality, she doesn’t have any plan. She shoots arrows in the dark. Hence, one doesn’t see her in awe. Moreover, a few questions remain unanswered till the very end.Read at source
Nikita Roy
Nikita Roy is a celebrated author and rationalist based in London. She is a member of the International Rationalist Committee (IRC) and specializes in debunking myths, superstitions, and "godmen. " Her brother, Sanal Roy, is her mentor and a fellow rationalist who is investigating a powerful spiritual guru named Amar Dev. Sanal goes missing while investigating Amar Dev's cult, the "Tru Faith Foundation. " He is eventually found dead, and the police rule it a suicide. Nikita refuses to believe her brother—a man of logic and science—would kill himself. She is convinced Amar Dev murdered him to protect his secrets. Nikita arrives in London to take over Sanal's investigation. She is aided by Jolly, her ex-boyfriend and fellow investigator. Amar Dev is a calm, menacing figure who claims to heal people by absorbing their "darkness. " When Nikita confronts him, he issues a challenge: If she can prove he is a fraud within a specific timeframe (often cited as a few days/a week), he will surrender. If not, she will face the consequences of her skepticism. As Nikita digs deeper, her reliance on logic begins to crumble. She starts experiencing unexplainable, paranormal events—visions of her brother, eerie noises, and shadowy figures. She tracks down an informant named Freya, who was a mole inside the cult, but Freya commits suicide in a gruesome manner right in front of them, seemingly driven mad by a "curse. " In the finale, Nikita confronts Amar Dev at his ashram.
