While both Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat do their job well, the film truly feels potent only when it comes off the screen.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Wire (INDIA)

Despite its strong finish, CTRL would only qualify as a tepid Black Mirror episode at best.

Ctrl does generate an eerie feeling about the impending dangers of losing control over our life and relationships...but eventually unravels like a low-stakes thriller meant to keep the library of the streaming platform populated.

With CTRL, Motwane invites us to witness the fragility of digital privacy and needles our trained fingers through a premise that unfolds entirely on laptop and phone screens.

Decider

Topical and eerily plausible, CTRL is a smart tech thriller with a great central performance from Panday.

Casey's Movie Mania

Ananya Panday’s above-average performance isn’t enough to overcome this perfunctory screenlife thriller.

Rated: 2.5/5

Khogaye hum Kahan, call me bae, CTRL, all are supposed to be massive hits but equally falls short of one or the other, CTRL is portrayed amazingly, cinematography is surreal, it will age like fine wine over time ! Believe me, it's worth a watch... Mark my words if this isn't the ground reality 10 years down the line

As a movie it self "CTRL" it's a good movie, but I would not qualify this as a "found footage" horror movie, but more as a digital thriller.

"CTRL" gets props for being somewhat original for Indian cinema standards. The premise is unique and definitely takes inspiration from films like "Searching" and "Missing" in terms of its concept. I feel like the movie has some solid ideas but could have done a better job working as a thriller, as some movies feel a bit silly. The acting also felt a bit overdone at times and I feel the story being told through screens may have played a part in it. Overall, it is an innovative movie that goes for a unique style and doesn't always land, but it is still an enjoyable film to watch on streaming.

I wasn't expecting but this film turn out really good for me. I think it's a first film of screen life genre in india and it's a really good try. Performances are really good and the concept is amazing. Screenplay is very engaging and having enough twists and turns. Well the runtime is too short to justify it and the climax is incomplete. Really good watch for those who wants to watch something fresh or new.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ending is too real, like in reality people are silenced and threatened that their lives will be ruined if they said anything. It's fiction that yeah hits VERY close to home but still it's fiction, give me good endings.
