Lanka Movie review highlights: This horror flick fails to live up to audience’s expectations

After months of waiting, Sai Ronak’s ‘Lanka’ finally hit the theatres on April 21. The film, which is directed by Sri Muni, also has Raasi and Ena Saha, Sijju and Comedian Satya in pivotal characters.
The trailer and songs of the movie pointed that the movie would be a horror thriller, and true to the expectation – the first half of the movie does deliver to that. The 2 hour 13 minute-long film produced by Dinesh N and Vishnu Kumar Nis on the story of three friends who are aspiring filmmakers and want to get noticed by their work on a short film.
Sai (Ronak) plays the role of the director in the movie. Things take a turn when the three friends enter a house owned by Rebecca (Raasi), who is a Telepathy expert and lives in the imagination of her two children, who are already dead. After the team finishes shooting for the short film, the heroine goes missing and the three are now caught in a web of disbelief and betrayal.
The movie has a slow narration and has strongly established nothing as a story. A few moments of comedy will crack you up. With a new comer cast, the movie looks amateur in terms of engaging performance.
This is yet another come and go movie in the trending genre of horror-thriller that it has to offer nothing as much until its first half.
