While Shaji Kailas is mostly known for his action entertainers, he did briefly explore the horror genre with Dhrona 2010. That film wasn’t a full-fledged horror, it was a genre mashup blending action, comedy, and family drama with horror elements. However, with Hunt, Kailas seems to have embraced horror more directly. Whether this shift paid off is up to the viewers, but the film didn’t receive much praise from critics during its theatrical release. Now, as it makes its way to OTT, it remains to be seen if the film’s fortunes will change.
Hunt: Plot
At the heart of this story is a young woman pursuing her post graduation in forensic medicine. Her routine is shattered when a woman’s corpse, encased in concrete and dumped in a river, comes to light. Soon after, she begins to sense an eerie presence, possibly otherworldly.
Haunted by unanswered questions: who the victim was, why she was murdered, and who is behind it all, she is compelled to dig deeper. Her pursuit of the truth leads her into unsettling and mysterious territory.
