The CinePearl Take
Konkona Sen Sharma’s understated performance as the enigmatic witch is the film’s backbone, turning a potentially campy premise into genuine dread. While the pacing slows in the middle act, the climactic reveal restores momentum and rewards patient viewers. The movie also explores themes of guilt, childhood trauma, and the cost of ambition, making it more than just jump‑scares.
