While
several
international
films
and
Web
series
on
the
OTT
have
explored
the
dangers
of
AI,
it’s
interesting
to
see
a
desi
take
on
it,
believes
Divya
Nair.
Love
her,
hate
her,
Ananya
Pandey
seems
to
be
the
girl
of
the
moment.
After
the
success
of
the
Web
series
Call
Me
Bae,
Ananya
will
be
seen
in
Vikramaditya
Motwane’s
next
titled
CTRL,
a
cyber-thriller.
Ananya
plays
Nella
and
is
an
influencer
couple
along
with
Joe
(Vihaan
Samat).
When
he
cheats
on
her,
Nella
takes
the
help
of
an
artificial
intelligence
app
to
‘take
control
of
her
life
and
happiness’.
When
Nella
instructs
the
app
to
erase
Joe
from
her
life,
the
app
does
exactly
that.
And
Joe
suddenly
goes
missing.
Intense
and
scary,
right?
It
instantly
reminded
me
of
Black
Mirror,
albeit
with
a
GenZ
tadka.
While
several
international
films
and
Web
series
on
the
OTT
have
explored
the
dangers
of
AI
and
the
digital
revolution,
it’s
interesting
to
see
a
desi
take
on
it.
When
tech
takes
over,
how
it
can
blur
the
lines
between
your
real
life
and
the
digital
universe
is
quite
interesting.
Ananya
looks
convincing
in
the
trailer
playing
the
distraught
GenZ
girlfriend,
who
is
concerned
and
puzzled
when
she
suddenly
realises
that
her
bae
is
missing
IRL
(in
real
life).
Motwane’s
rare
talent
to
identify
and
tell
stories
that
connect
with
young
audiences
is
what
makes
CTRL
a
potential
film
that
should
be
on
your
watchlist.
Maybe
it
has
a
larger
social
message
for
our
audience.
After
Kho
Gaye
Hum
Kahan,
CTRL
seems
like
a
good
project
in
Ananya’s
career.
CTRL
will
stream
on
Netflix
on
October
4.
So
who
else
is
excited
about
next
weekend?
