The Final EXIT – movie review

An amazing ‘other world’ experience. Absolutely stunning.




By Paresh B. Mehta

Genre: Horror   Recommended: Parental Guidance   Released: 22 September 2017
Starring: Kunaal Roy Kapur, Ananya Sengupta, Archana Shastry, Elena Kazan, Reyhna Malhotra, Scarlett Wilson
Directed by: Directed by Dhwanil Mehta

It is generally believed that the ‘other dimension’ or ‘other world’ always exists in our life. Made by a debutante director this film depicts layers of emotions of the characters. The audience will actually sense it throughout the film. This makes the viewer actually feel involved with the characters.

The subject of other dimension has been taken in several Hollywood films but it is for the first time that a Bollywood film delves into this complex issue. Almost every body, knowingly or unknowingly has experienced it, be in his sleep or during closed eyes or while in a trance or a state of unconsciousness and then finally at the end of one’s life.
