Pizza

Review

4/10Critic Score

There's a kernel of an interesting idea buried in this film—the collision between a skeptic and the supernatural, amplified by the anxiety of impending fatherhood. The premise promises that delicious tension where a man's rational worldview shatters in a single terrifying night, and we could have explored what that unraveling means for his marriage, his beliefs, his readiness to protect a family he doesn't yet know. But the execution falters almost immediately. Director Mohan Lal's vision feels scattered, unable to decide whether this is a psychological horror or a supernatural thriller, and that indecision drains the narrative of any real momentum. The horror beats land with all the subtlety of a delivered pizza hitting linoleum, and what should be genuinely unsettling instead becomes predictable and stagey.

The performances don't help either. While the premise demanded an actor who could anchor us through genuine disbelief-turned-terror, the lead struggles to convey the internal transformation his character desperately needs. His journey from skeptic to believer should break our hearts—we should feel his world crumble—but instead, we watch him move through scenes without ever convincing us he's truly changed.

Storyline

So there's this delivery guy named Kunal who works at a pizzeria and is totally convinced that ghosts and supernatural stuff isn't real. His wife Nikita is the complete opposite—she's writing a horror novel and keeps trying to warn him that spirits actually exist. Things get pretty intense when his boss's wife ends up being possessed by some kind of evil entity, and Nikita finds out she's pregnant around the same time.

One day, Kunal heads out to deliver a pizza to this woman named Smitha at her bungalow, and things go downhill fast. The power suddenly cuts out while he's waiting for his change, and when he hears weird noises from upstairs, he goes to check on her. What he discovers is absolutely terrifying, and he realizes he's not alone in the house—someone or something else is there with him.

Kunal ends up coming back to the restaurant in complete shock, covered in blood and desperately worried about Nikita. He's shaken up trying to explain to his boss what happened at that bungalow and why everything went so horribly wrong. At this point, his whole skepticism about the supernatural gets pretty much turned on its head.
