Netflix continues expanding its catalog of Indian movies, and this time it has added “CTRL“, a mystery and suspense thriller featuring a complex narrative led by Ananya Panday (Gehraiyaan and Liger) and Vihaan Samat (Call Me Bae).
Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the story delves into the intricate relationship between social media, technology and exploring themes of personal identity through a love story that takes a dark turn.
Avinash Sampath and Sumukhi Suresh are responsible for crafting the screenplay, alongside the talented director, known for his work on a variety of productions such as Jubilee, Queen and Under the Waters.
Is CTRL based on real events?
“CTRL“, the thriller film starring Ananya Panday, is not based on a true story; rather, it presents a fictional narrative that explores contemporary themes related to technology and personal relationships.
The plot follows Nella and Joe, a perfect influencer couple. After Joe’s infidelity, she decides to use an AI application to erase him from her life, leading to unforeseen consequences as the app begins to take control over her life.
The film addresses themes of digital dependence and the darker side of technology, reflecting real anxieties about the impact of AI, similar to those seen in other Netflix productions like the series “Black Mirror”.
While it reflects real-life concerns about contemporary technology, especially in personal relationships, the story itself is a work of fiction and a creation of Avinash Sampath, Sumukhi Suresh and the director.
