[2] Mandira

This Telugu horror film is available for streaming on Aha starting December 5 for suspense thriller enthusiasts.

The story is about a lady, Mandira, who, along with her boyfriend, goes to a small town that everyone says is quiet and plain. But things change rather dramatically when Mandira starts to see several disturbing truths concerning her family’s history.

The drama begins to take an interesting turn when she begins feeling that she is not alone. Some events that are really strange, terrifying visions and prickly feelings of his ghost company’s presence, create a premise that is equally creepy and emotional.

But this ghost is unlike all the other ghosts. For Mahindra, it is more than a dreaded figure; she experiences a deep connection. Then, what is that ghost? An enemy or perhaps a saviour? So, this is exactly what it tempts the viewers with and keeps them engaged.
