A darkly satirical slasher-thriller that weaponizes the murder of film critics to interrogate artistic judgment, ego, and the violence of criticism itself.

A series of bizarre and disturbing murders rock the city of Mumbai. Film critics are being killed week after week with the release of every new film. Arvind Mathur, Head of Crime Branch Mumbai, is tasked with solving the case. With the help of Zenobia, a criminal psychologist, he tries to understand the mind of the killer to trap him.
