Analysis

The story is not new but has a different plot with exorcism. Unlike some horror-comedy films, Connect is a properly made horror thriller with some thrilling experiences. Ashwin could have concentrated more on the screenplay, which lags at a point. However, some gripping scenes, eerie BGM, dark visuals, and performances of the stars make us forget the loopholes and concentrate more on the screen. The stars satisfy us with their natural performances. Nayanthara should be appreciated for making good decisions in picking special characters, especially for playing the mother of a teenager. After Viswasam, she is seen in this kind of role.
