This Tovino Thomas-starrer is a furious, adrenaline-pumping thrill ride

Your appreciation of the film will also depend on your ability to withstand, for a long period, the sight of blood � and Kala has the characters bleeding a lot.

Tovino Thomas and Sumeet Moor's performances, and the stunt scenes make this well-crafted film a must-watch.

As a film, the message is on point and it is complemented by extraordinary technical work. It's a realistic portrayal of how violent humans can get and how selfish they can become. It doesn't assume that the audience are fools, nor does it make them think too much. There is high respect for the audience and for such films, the respect must be reciprocated. (more)

A captivating fight for survival between Tovino and Sumesh Moor

Although the film leaps with minimal dialogues, its skittish cinematography and editing brings texture to the backdrop. It is amazing how a house in the middle of a remote yet picturesque place can make you so tense. A suspense was well maintained right from the beginning though the build-up went over the top at certain scenes in the first half. (more)
