One of the most intriguing releases of the week is ‘The Vvaan – Force of the Forest’, Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s folk horror drama, which hits theatres on September 25. The film heads up a packed slate of releases arriving between September 24 and 27.
Positioned as a folk horror with dramatic roots, the film is a genre Sidharth has not attempted before, and it pairs him for the first time with Tamannaah Bhatia. The title and its “force of the forest” tagline point to a story steeped in folklore and rooted in the natural world, territory Bollywood has only rarely explored.
The film faces a crowded weekend, sharing the frame with Nani’s action thriller ‘The Paradise’ (also releasing in Hindi), the delayed Hindi suspense drama ‘Love Lottery’, and a wave of South releases. A distinctive genre pitch could be exactly what helps ‘The Vvaan’ stand out from the pack.
