Samantha reviews CTRL

In her Instagram Stories, Samantha shared the poster of the cyber-thriller and wrote in the caption, “Highly recommend and a must watch #CTRL (Clap emoticons) It is gripping from start to finish and exceptionally well-made. @ananyapanday you beauty, your performance was outstanding. It made me quickly grab my phone and uninstall several apps. Congratulations team #CTRL.”

About CTRL

CTRL also stars Vihaan Samat in the lead. Ananya and Vihaan portray an influencer couple named Nella Awasthi and Joe Mascarenhas respectively. When Joe betrays Nella, she resorts to an Artificial Intelligence app to remove him from her life, but things take a sinister turn when the app takes control. The film is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. CTRL released on October 4 on Netflix India.

Talking about her character and the film, Ananya Panday added, “My character Nella, is like any of us. She's caught up in a world dominated by technology and social media. CTRL explores how we navigate the fine line between our online presence and who we are in real life. Working with Vikram sir and Nikhil sir has been an incredible journey, and I can't wait for you to watch it on Netflix and uncover the connection between Nella and Allen.”

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “CTRL overall passes off as a good, crisp, harmless watch, which wants to make you think. The thing is- content from across the world, courtesy the OTT boom in India in the last four years, has already dealt with similar themes. There's nothing here we haven't watched already.”
