An Interesting Concept that shines in parts

Vishnu Vishal's dreary psycho thriller collapses from within

A crime--thriller that sticks the landing

Aaryan pulls itself together in the second half. The "how" of the murders and the ticking clock deliver some genuinely racy, interesting thrills. Vishnu Vishal carries the film well, and the finale, which traps him in the killer's story, is well-staged. Shraddah Srinath plays an effective TV host embroiled in the criminal plot. A steady thriller, albeit the social cause felt like a forced final chapter.(more)
