ReviewPsychological thrillers depend heavily on the ability of the actors to play mind games with the audience. Sowmya RajendranMade by a team of It professionals and students from the US, Gatham is an interesting attempt at a psychological thriller. Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, the film opens with an aerial shot of two people who are trying to escape in a desolate, snow-covered landscape and are gunned down. We then go back in time to unravel the events that led to the opening scene. Rishi (Rakesh Galebhe) wakes up in hospital with no memory of who he is. A woman named Adithi (Poojitha Kurapathi) tells him that she's his girlfriend and the two of them set off. Circumstances land them in the house of a strange man, Arjun (Bhargava Poludasu) and his disturbed son. Directed by Kiran Reddy, it's obvious that the film aspires to be on the lines of Hollywood thrillers.
