Apparently this is an attempt to broaden the Blumhouse banner into other countries. Funded by Amazon too. However, the end result is total tedium in the story of a young woman, her handsome new suitor and the secrets he holds. The only person who seems clued in is her mother. Some mystical talk but an almost total dearth of action and incident makes this a thoroughly boring oddity.

We can't escape our karma, although kismet would have made a better line.

Pallavi (Sunita Mani) lives in New Orleans, her parents in Delhi. Her mother is haunted by memories of a past boyfriend. Long story short Pallavi meets the perfect man and mom thinks he is the reincarnation of the man who abused her.

It takes a very long time for the story to develop and there are no Indian musical numbers or line dances as one expects in Bollywood. You know where the story is headed, to a final five minute climax scene that was not worth the wait. More drama than horror, mystery, or thriller.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I really like the actress who plays the mother And she has quite the difficult role to portray in this one. She has to walk a fine line and not be hated too much by the audience. There's of course only two options to this, either she's right or she isn't. I still think it's fairly obvious to what the movie leans on and what is going to be the "reveal" at the end.

So as predictable as a movie can be. And yet due to the fine performances (even when they contradict themselves or their character motivations at time),but especially to a message delivered almost at the end of the movie (which is really important, especially to women),this really makes a dent. Of course everytime something good is being displayed, there is at least a bump in the road. At the very end, the message almost gets completely evaporated by a cliche - even if meant in good fun ... maybe they had to put it in (politically speaking),but it really was unnecessary to say the least
