The trailer for Vikramaditya Motwane’s “CTRL” was released on Wednesday, delving into the shadowy realm of digital dependence and the ramifications of technology. Starring Ananya Panday as Nella, the trailer reveals her seemingly perfect life, disrupted when she discovers an AI-based app called Control Your Life. This app promises to provide direction, but the outcomes can be unpredictable.
As Nella logs into the app, her life spirals into chaos, especially after her boyfriend Joe, played by Vihaan Samat, cheats on her. In the aftermath of the betrayal, Nella faces intense trolling, leading her to express a desire to erase her ex. The app, however, takes her request literally—Joe’s existence begins to vanish, pixel by pixel, both online and in reality.
The chilling narrative escalates when Nella learns that Joe is missing, prompting a series of unsettling events. The trailer concludes with an AI-generated figure ominously reminding her, “But isn’t that what you wanted?” With its gripping premise and exploration of the dark side of technology, “CTRL” raises poignant questions about the consequences of our digital choices. Fans are left eager for the film’s release, anticipating a thrilling ride through the complexities of modern life.
