A surprise blockbuster based on real events about a group of bachelors in Bangalore who play a Ouija board game and invite a restless spirit into their flat. The first hour is laugh-out-loud funny — the camaraderie, the pranks, the fear. The second half drags a bit as the horror takes over. Soubin Shahir is fantastic as the terrified, then possessed, lead. It’s not really scary, but it’s highly entertaining. A bit overlong, but the chemistry of the cast saves it.

A bizarre, meditative film where a Tamil-speaking man (Mammootty in a dual role) wakes up from a nap in Kerala believing he is someone else — a husband and father in a Tamil village. This is not a commercial film. It’s slow, strange, and beautiful. Mammootty’s performance is career-best material. The film explores identity, memory, and cultural borders. Many will find it boring — no action, no songs, no plot in the usual sense. But for art-house lovers, it’s a masterpiece.
