Masooda’ comes alive on aha, on December 21

A new curse is born when someone dies in the grip of rage! And the ones who encounter this evil are consumed by its fury and met with a violent fate. Experience fear, terror, anxiety, panic, goosebumps, and horror on ‘aha’, as the OTT platform brings you the world digital premiere of ‘Masooda’ on December 21. The classic horror film with a twisted new vision is produced by Swadharm Entertainment, featuring Sangeetha, Thiruveer, Bandhavi Sridhar, Kavya Kalyan Ram and Subhalekha Sudhakar in the lead roles.

The true-blue horror cinema ‘Masooda’ is directed and written by Sai Kiran and won the hearts of the adrenaline junkies, white knucklers, and dark copers. Layered with constant spooks and screams chilling to the bone, the film unearths the dark and dreadful horrors lurking behind the shadows.

Gopikrishna (Thiruveer) is a software employee who is like family to his neighbours – a single mother, science teacher Neelam (Sangeetha) and her young daughter Naziya (Bandhavi Sridhar). On a fine night, Neelam finds herself banging on Gopi’s door for help, and the latter recognises Naziya exhibiting signs of what could either be mental illness or possession.

What does all of this have to do with the titular Masooda? You smile, sometimes chuckle, jump, stare wide-eyed at the screen and flinch at what follows.

Sangeetha, who played the role of Neelam, said, “Horror-mystery as a genre has seen great interest from viewers in general, and I’m excited to make my way in this space. It’s a thrilling narrative of a mother’s repeated trysts with evil to save her daughter. I hope the OTT audience is ready for thrills and chills with this one.”

‘Masooda’ is all for the kind of horror fanatic who’s into gore. The film is packed with ample sequences to make you squirm either way, and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
