CTRL Movie Review: Ananya Panday's Netflix Thriller Receives High Praise

Streaming on Netflix since October 4, CTRL, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, stars Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat. The film follows Nella, who uses an AI app to erase her unfaithful boyfriend, Joe, only to lose control in the process.

Audience reactions have been largely positive:

“CTRL is terrific, absorbing, and crafted with finesse. Worth watching.”

“Vikramaditya Motwane's new film is utterly fascinating, ambitious, and deeply uncomfortable.”

“Surprisingly good! Ananya shines, and the film builds tension effectively.”

However, some viewers felt it lacked impact:

“Despite strong casting, CTRL feels just okay and somewhat preachy about technology.”

“The film addresses how AI and corporations control us, but the climax lacks closure.”
