Description: Boomika, a 2021 Tamil film, stars Aishwarya Rajesh and is directed by Rathindran R. Prasad, a promising filmmaker known for his notable segment in Mani Ratnam’s Navarasa. The movie’s teaser and trailer generated significant anticipation among fans, but did it meet expectations?
The story follows Samyuktha (Aishwarya Rajesh), whose husband Gautham (Vidhu) secures a contract to develop a township villa in a secluded forest. Gautham enlists the help of his architect friend Gayathri (Surya Ganapathy) for the project. Along with Gautham’s sister Aditi (Madhuri), they visit a guest house in the forest to plan the construction. However, they soon encounter terrifying paranormal activities, leading them to uncover the forest’s dark secrets.
Aishwarya Rajesh delivers a solid performance, showcasing her talent for selecting unique scripts. Vidhu and Surya Ganapathy, both debutants, also perform well in their roles. While Madhuri’s character seems exaggerated, Avantika Vandanapu impresses as an autistic child. Pavel Navageethan stands out, adding authenticity to the story with his portrayal and dialect. The rest of the cast provides decent support.
