The Gaslight (2023) movie was released on March 31. This movie has been directed by Pavan Kirpalani, and the writers are Neha Sharma and Pavan Kirpalani. This movie has been categorized into the genres of crime, mystery, and thriller. Pavan Kirpalani has also directed the movies Ragini MMS (2011) and Phobia (2016). But looking back at the work of Pavan Kirpalani as the director of bringing the stories with thriller aspects, such as The Gaslight, which is categorized in the mystery and thriller genres, might disappoint the viewers.
The story of the movie ‘Gaslight’ begins with the homecoming of Sara Ali Khan (Misha) after 15 years. The story starts to unfold as Misha (Sara Ali Khan) starts to grow suspicious that her dad is dead and that her stepmother (Chitrangada Sen) might be hiding something. The story gains a little momentum as Misha tries to dig more into her family’s history and twisted relations with the help of Vikrant Massey (Kapil). But at the end, every plot twist wasn’t engaging because it was very predictable.
As a true fan of thriller movies, ‘Gaslight’ movie is a total disappointment, as you can predict the flow of the story and the climax as well. Although the title of the movie does justice to the story. The acting of the cast is very shallow, except for Vikrant Massey as Kapil. The only lifesaving thing about the movie is Vikrant Massey and his acting.
In conclusion, the Gaslight movie is a total disappointment in every aspect. In my opinion, if you are a true fan of the thriller genre, then Gaslight’ is not recommendable.
