Genre of the story:
It’s a Family Thriller. Happens during the present time. Bears so far unexpected twists, with suspense gluing viewer to the edge of the seat throughout its
2-hours running time.
Why this movie?
An untold story attracting viewers towards its elements like horror, suspense, thrills and family emotions (between a father and daughter).

This is the right time for such a movie, with the so far unfamiliar thriller content. End of the movie is just its beginning! Audience remain anxious to watch its sequel at the earliest!!! It will be a trend setter in South Indian film industry.
