Bollywood's latest offering in the horror genre, Nikita Roy released last Friday and here's how the audience is reacting to the Sonakshi Sinha starrer!
Keeping in line with Bollywood’s new found love for the horror genre, last week saw the release of Kussh Sinha’s Nikita Roy. Starring Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Rampal, and Paresh Rawal, the film explores a rationalist’s quest for truth as she investigates the death of her brother who was trying to expose a mighty self-styled godman.
Nikita Roy opened to mixed reviews by the critics, however the audience seems to be in awe of the film. While some are lauding it for its refreshing narration, suspence value and the errie setting, others are in awe of Sonakshi Sinha and Paresh Rawal's measured performances as the titular character and fraudulent spiritual leader respectively. The viewers are largerly impressed by junior Sinha's directorial debut and appreciate him tackling a subject like horror thriller promisingly.
Here's more on what the audience thought about this one!
The basic feedback overall is positive for #NikitaRoy. In spite of having a decent cast, the film opened to really less shows as well as less hype which led to less numbers at the box office. But the word of mouth is good in general. Only if multiplexes increase the shows of it

This film masterfully cultivates unease through gradual tension and profound thematic explorations, rather than relying on conventional fright tactics.#NikitaRoyInCinemas

#NikitaRoy isn't flawless, but the performance of leads and bold story make it worthy of watch. Kussh Sinha makes an impressive debut as a director and should be lauded for handling a complex subject like horror psychological thriller promisingly well!
