Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) Despite its strong finish, CTRL would only qualify as a tepid Black Mirror episode at best. Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Anuj Kumar The Hindu 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. Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Ishita Sengupta OTTplay 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. Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider Topical and eerily plausible, CTRL is a smart tech thriller with a great central performance from Panday. Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Ananya Panday’s above-average performance isn’t enough to overcome this perfunctory screenlife thriller. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

vishal H 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 11/07/24 Full Review Waniya S 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member I'm mad at the ending, just why did all the efforts of joe and his friends goes down the ditch and let them die like that, if the they didn't have their justice? I like the main character's acting, chef kiss. It got so many potentials, and the pacing was good. But, at the end of the story........it just went down😔. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Anubhuti B I was kinda looking forward to this movie. First of all, I must give it kudos for trying to bring a different kind of story to the Indian context. It's a commentary on the state of Indian cinema at the moment, more than anything about this movie. Sadly, it doesn't do much else. It's the kind of movie that you think should be made after getting drunk in a house party and bitching about influencers on social media. But what it doesn't have (and neither do those influencers) is imagination or forethought. As a concept, this is a well-worn route, with many movies/series made to show the technological dystopia that we are living in. It does not innovate on the concept at all. I would not be surprised at all if the script was written by AI, because the "twist" of the story was just terribly predictable, and handled even worse. Ananya Pandey's acting was what made me give it 2.5 stars because she has fast become the face of a disgruntled, tech-dominated generation. Rest were cookie-cutters, though I did like the AI-avatar's smile quite a lot. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Abeo P SIN SPOILERS: Pensé que no me iba a gustar, que iba a ser como esas películas en las que una aplicación paranormal tomó el control de la gente, pero luego pusieron mucha profundidad en el personaje principal, y la historia del novio es realmente profunda y, también todo el misterio del mantra es muy intrigante, no digo nada más para no decir spoilers, obviamente no es perfecto, no me gustó nada el final, pero creo que deberías darle una oportunidad Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Sana U “This felt like a poor imitation of the movie “ Her”!! I honestly couldn’t grasp what the film was trying to convey. While the actress is undeniably beautiful, the script falls flat. Bollywood really needs to invest in better storytelling. Save your time—this one’s not worth watching. I’m still not sure what I just sat through.” Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
