Film: Hide & Seek
Director: Shawn Arranha
Cast: Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Samir Kochhar, Ayaz Khan, Mrinalini Sharma, Amruta Patki
Rating: ***
Generally, a film starring relative newcomers and helmed by a first-time director comes with zilch expectations. And if the film in question happens to be a suspense-thriller, the debutante director has to walk a tight rope. Debutante director Shawn Arranha surprises you in his very first outing. It may not be the most captivating thriller you’ve watched, but there are moments that keep you hooked to the proceedings.
It starts off as a game between six kids on a chilly Christmas night. But little do they know that the game will change their lives forever. Twelve years later, the past comes back to haunt them.
The performances by the lead actors are neat. On the whole, Hide & Seek is a gripping suspense drama that keeps you guessing till its end.
