Plot

An average IIT graduate who travels to Kashmir gets unexpectedly involved in dangerous encounters while being stuck in deadly cold weather and tries to fight against an evil machine that’s present outside and his inner self. A pregnant girl who works as a journalist also gets caught up in the dangerous snowscape. It is a story about a man’s struggles to find a reason to continue living through nature and his newfound love.

Star Performance

Vishwa plays the dual roles of a depressed guy trying to find new meaning in life and fighting his inner self and an evil villain who kills people in mysterious ways. Both the roles got well showcased as it feels chilling to watch him portray opposite characters with great ease. Krisha is the female protagonist who depicts her character well enough in this movie.
