Lady Superstar Nayanthara is back with yet another female-centric film and this time it’s a horror one called Connect. Directed by Ashwin Saravanan, the movie has hit the screens. Let’s see what the movie is all about.
Story:
Set in the milieu of lockdown, the movie revolves around a family of four which has Susan (Nayanthara), her husband (Vinai Rai) their daughter Susan (Haniya Nafis), and Satyaraj, the elder member of the family. Their lives turn upside down when Vinai Raji, a doctor by profession dies on COVID duty. The sudden death badly impacts their daughter Susan. She chooses to connect with her deceased father with the help of an Ouija board and she invites the evil powers unintentionally and it creates havoc in the family. How will a helpless Susan deal with this situation? Can she overcome it or not is the story of the film.
Plus Points:
Narration
Haniya’s acting
Short duration
Minus Points:
Predictable story
Lack of strong emotions
Verdict:
On the whole, Nayanthara’s Connect has some brilliant moments, but the movie fails to scare despite being a horror drama. The audience will get the feel of watching an emotional drama rather than a horror movie.
Rating:3/5
