A phantom family's game show is hosted in a haunted bungalow. The characters entered the setting for certain reasons. The only way they can survive is if they succeed at the game. Lollu Sabha fame Premanand has made his debut as a director and he has stuck to his basic strengths just like 'Lollu Sabha' and has succeeded mostly.

The first 20 minutes lay the groundwork by describing the ghostly setting and introducing all the individuals and their current situations. Although it now moves as a mixed bag and lacks any strong stretches, it promises to search for something greater. The movie succeeds in what it sets out to do by creating a few absurdist sections and persuasively connecting more than a dozen of the main characters. The comedy is effective because of the clever use of timing in language and practical jokes. The first half is mostly amusing, but there are a few potentially funny spots that fall flat.

The concept of having the ghosts say the smoking card and bringing up the Dhillikku Dhuddu connection are just a few examples of the numerous tiny details the filmmaker got correctly. The movie's core substance is also presented in a satisfying way, in addition to the extras. The premise of levels following levels makes the second part feel like a game show. In this approach, the sequences are varied and the humor is naturally incorporated into the screenplay. There are a few flat areas when the lag is noticeable, but the regular jokes with a smooth narrative flow cover up the little shortcomings. Although there is absolutely no logic, the film precisely follows the conventions of cinema, and nowhere are the spectators treated inanely.

There is only one song here, and it is heavily influenced by Parrys Jeyaraj. The music in the game segments lifts the mood above the usual horror template tunes. The cinematographer did a nice job of keeping a consistent color scheme throughout, and the maze segments and the library scene are both well-captured. By maintaining a strict 2-hour time limit, editing is crisp. Every time poor VFX is employed, the picture may have been more aesthetically attractive if the CGI was of higher quality.

Overall, An Ultimate Laugh Riot despite a few flat jokes...!
