Vikramaditya Motwane’s newest release dives headfirst into the unnerving consequences of surrendering to artificial intelligence and social media—where your every move, every emotion, and every moment is laid bare for the world to see. At the heart of the film is Ananya Pandey, who plays the lead in a role that brilliantly captures the unsettling reality of living a life controlled by algorithms and the pressures of a constantly watching online audience.
But remember our Influencers, without whom this internet sensation wouldn’t have worked.
Sumukhi Suresh
Sumukhi is the dialogue writer for this movie alongside Avinash Sampath. She started her career as a stand-up comedian in Bangalore and gained fame with her series Behti Naak (2016) and Better Life Foundation. Her independent series Pushpavalli won a Filmfare award in 2020, where she not only starred but also served as the creator, making a significant impact on OTT platforms. The dialogues are filled with a perfect blend of comedy and emotion, showcasing Sumukhi’s strengths, which are reflected in her work with CTRL.
Yashraj Mukhate
Yashraj Mukhate created a hit track with the hook “Mera Boyfriend” and has consistently produced catchy musical ideas that have gone viral on social media. His involvement in this movie is a key highlight, adding a fun element while also addressing the horror of how media can turn anything viral. Mukhate has also composed music for series like Ghar Set Hai, Chef It Up, and many others. His fame skyrocketed after he turned Shehnaaz Gill’s popular line into a full song. His boundless creativity continues to inspire others to create and showcase their art.
Tanmay Bhat
Tanmay Bhat first gained recognition through his YouTube channel AIB, which he co-founded with Gursimran Khamba, Ashish Shakya, and Rohan Joshi, who also appears in the movie. After AIB, Tanmay transitioned into angel investing and founded an advertising agency. In this film, Tanmay leads a live stream where he publicly trolls the breakup Ananya Pandey’s character goes through. His signature wit and humor—exactly what people love about him—shine through in the scene, but it also serves as a sharp commentary on how social media thrives on banter over someone’s private life, often popularized and encouraged by the very users who consume it.
Rohan Joshi
His comedy journey began with a two-minute set at an open mic called Hamateur Nights, hosted by Vir Das. He later appeared on Tanmay Bhat’s livestream, where he quickly gained recognition as one of the best roasters and comedians, known for hilariously trolling Ananya and making everyone laugh. One of his favorite shows was AIB Knockout, the 2015 celebrity roast, where his natural ability to roast shone through, making it clear that comedy comes to him effortlessly.
Why you should watch this movie?
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a part of our everyday lives, this movie offers a timely and chilling exploration of its potential impact—one that will leave you questioning the role technology plays in your own life. Unlike the usual sci-fi thrillers, this film tackles a topic rarely explored in mainstream cinema: the consequences of letting AI and social media dictate our existence. It delves into the fine line between innovation and catastrophe, painting a picture of what could go horribly wrong or miraculously right when humans lose control over the technology they’ve created.
The film masterfully blends a fresh, thrilling narrative with sharp commentary on the dangers of over-sharing our lives online. In today’s world, where social media can turn anyone into an overnight sensation or a viral spectacle, the story cleverly illustrates how AI could amplify this to terrifying new levels. It’s not just a warning about AI. It’s a reflection on how our increasing dependence on technology is shaping our identities, our relationships, and even our safety.
