Synopsis
What starts off as a normal day for Nikhil quickly turns upside down when something sinister unravels an ugly truth.
Our Review
Hawaa by Varuna Nigam is truly remarkable for its ability to resonate on a personal level. It doesn’t just tell a story; it forces the audience to reflect on the facades they encounter—or wear—every day. The final moments are chilling, not because of a dramatic twist, but because of their quiet inevitability.
A gripping, visually striking, and emotionally profound film, Hawaa is a cinematic triumph. It doesn’t just reveal the truth—it makes you question everything you thought you knew about the people around you. It also encourages self-reflection on our perceptions of others and raises the question—what if they saw our true feelings instead of the masks we wear?
