Only a few horror movies make us question why they were even created, despite the fact that the majority of them are entertaining, especially for the chills they provide. A movie like this is Bestie. It's an intriguing concept put out by director Ranga to write a horror movie in which individuals, scenes, and events are repeatedly seen, much as in a time loop. However, a movie that lasts for more than two hours cannot be supported by this alone. Story concept generation and screenwriting are two distinct processes. On paper, your one-line might sound good, but developing it into a feature-length film requires a lot more work.
Bestie begins with a young couple (Ashok Kumar and Yaashika Aanand) travelling on a date to a lonely beach resort, similar to how most horror thrillers do. They see strange things there, which makes them fearful. The doorbell rings every time ashok attempts to approach his lover. They are being disturbed by a watchman, a vegetable vendor, an electrician, and a courier. While we anticipate additional jump scares and the introduction of the supernatural component, the director catches us off guard with a turn. We learn that the pair is locked in their automobile after an accident and that all of these things took place in the hero's dream.
The events then repeat themselves, but in a slightly altered order, as we are forced to journey with them once more to the seaside resort. Is a ghost actually present? Who is responsible for this? The movie begins off as a horror thriller before transitioning into a drama about revenge near the end. There are a lot of twists in the second half, but they don't really hold the audience's attention since the filmmaker doesn't understand that they will only be interested in the post-intermission sequences if the first half is tolerable, which it isn't in this instance. We become puzzled, just like the main characters in the movie, as the sequences keep repeating in the most monotonous ways.
