Kataksha (2019)

“Kataksha branded as Pakistan’s first psycological horror film will leave you inquisitive and asking for more from the genre in future. Written and directed by Abu Aleeha, the film takes a path more traveled by in horror genre i.e, a car journey featuring four colleagues with well defined characters of ‘Saleem Meraj, playing a driver relatively more mannered than ‘Salu’. the DOP played by Kaism Khan a rather dual charactered guy who gets quite reasoned at times and cheesy at others. Kiran Tabeer playing ‘Nazish’ is charming and successful woman in her field with a disturbed past and ‘Aiman’, played by debutant Namrah Shahid is an audcious girl who doesn’t really give a damn about what people perceive.” – Pakistani Cinema

“Kataksha self-professes to be Pakistan’s first psychological horror. The psychological aspect is nowhere to be found here. It is, quite evidently, lost, like the horror and the storytelling.” – Dawn
