and Jnanesh Matad did the cinematography and editing. It portrays the story of a second-year PUC student and her obsession with the legendary Kannada actor Dr. Vishnuvardhan. A friend group visit a guest house and meets her ghost there.
Plot
The story of the movie is a combination of horror and humor. The movie is about a group of college students who visits an isolated guest house to relax after exams. But the ghost of a former medical student disrupts their plans for a pleasurable vacation. The ghost of that girl is obsessed with the Kannada actor Vishnuvardhan, and she haunts and torments the group. The students decide to unravel the mystery of her past and the reason for her death to escape her clutches. Aarti, Hanumanthe, and Vijay are in pivotal roles. The story covers the life of a ghost- the PUC student who has become a ghost. It deals with her love for Vishnuvardhan and the events of her private and academic life at that point. It forms the crux of the story. Will they be able to solve the mystery and save themselves? That becomes the climax point in the movie.
Star performance
The cast delivers phenomenal performances and advances the narrative of the film. The lead actors intensively present the horror, fear, and youthful energy through their acting. They also include comedic elements in their performances. Aarti should be credited for her acting in the role of the ghost. Her act is enough genuine to make the people scared and horrified. The other cast members played their roles perfectly. The Director of Casting knew who the best actors were that fit their characters.
Analysis
The cast, cinematography, and editing works will be the primary factors for this movie to become successful. The film depicts the classic horror-thriller genre. Mixing the supernatural with comedy, there is almost a lighthearted disregard to how it tells its tale. The guest house where the film is set fits perfectly according to its horror background at all levels. The scriptwriter did an excellent job maintaining the pace throughout the movie and combined the comic elements of the dialogues appropriately. Although the theme of the film is cliche, the witty dialogues and perfect depiction of horror scenes makes it interesting. The climax is thrilling. The music composer did a commendable job in composing music that is suitable for the theme. The dark lighting and scary sound effects are apt for creating the horror ambience. The background color of the film is mostly dark. The graphic effects improve slowly. The horror scenes are eerie and thrilling. The makeup team has done good work as well. The ghost itself is too ominous and creepy. The cinematographer did a marvelous job of capturing the haunted guest house. It makes the scenes a lot more exciting, thanks to his ability. Editing done by Jnanesh is a plus point for the film. The story builds up slowly to reach the climax. The too long scenes are compensated by the frequent comic relief. Witty dialogue and funny scenes are added in between the horror scenes. This eases the audience a little. It becomes a plus point for the movie.

All said and done, the film is a decent watch.
