“Kaal Trighori” is a Hindi supernatural horror-drama directed by Nitin Vaidya. The film stars Arbaaz Khan, Aditya Srivastava, Rituparna Sengupta, and others in lead roles.
The story revolves around a mysterious mansion and a haunted doll. It is said that a dark force or entity called Trighori has awakened after a hundred years. Inside the mansion, a professor (played by Rajesh Sharma) knows the secret history of this doll and the curse surrounding the mansion. Arbaaz Khan’s character, initially skeptical of the entire myth and horror surrounding it, accidentally takes hold of the possessed doll. The film shows that when Trighori awakens, it doesn’t just bring back darkness — it also exposes the hidden fears, secrets, doubts, and confusion within people.
Edge-of-the-seat thriller feel
From a technical point of view, the film is quite well made. In any horror film, lighting and sound play a crucial role — and both have been handled excellently here. What’s remarkable is that the director is new, yet his work feels experienced and confident. Several shots in the film have an edge-of-the-seat thriller feel, and the background score enhances the tension effectively. The editing is decent, though it could have been slightly sharper. Interestingly, the movie isn’t only about horror — it also offers strong elements of suspense and mystery, keeping viewers guessing about who the real culprit is and what lies hidden.
Arbaaz Khan’s debut in the horror genre
After spending nearly three decades in the film industry, this marks Arbaaz Khan’s debut in the horror genre. His performance is impressive, and he expresses fear and curiosity convincingly. Rituparna Sengupta adapts well to the changing emotional tone of the story, which makes her performance engaging. Alongside them, Aditya Srivastava, Mahesh Manjrekar, Rajesh Sharma, and Mugdha Godse breathe life into their respective characters.
In conclusion, Kaal Trighori is a well-crafted horror treat for genre lovers. If you enjoy supernatural thrillers, this film is worth watching. However, if you’re easily scared, it’s better to watch it with someone by your side!
