Jagraj Motion Pictures and Peter Wilson Entertainment’s Obsess (A) is a psychological thriller.
A woman, Sara (Eisha Singh), meets a man, Peter (Peter Wilson), in a road rage confrontation. She finds him to be a victim of anger, humiliation and emotional instability. What initially appears to be a simple road rage incident slowly transforms into a terrifying psychological nightmare. As tensions rise, the man becomes emotionally consumed by the incident, allowing his wounded ego and inner trauma to push him deeper into obsession and revenge. The woman soon realises that the encounter was not temporary, as fear and uncertainty begin invading every aspect of her life. The situation escalates beyond control as obsession starts blurring the line between reality and emotional chaos. Every decision made by the characters leads them deeper into conflict, paranoia, and psychological destruction.
The story explores how anger and humiliation can completely alter the human mind and destroy peace within seconds.
Sam Bariah’s story and screenplay are engaging but only up to a point. At times, the drama becomes predictable and even boring. Hence the overall impact is not one that would make the viewers become a complete part of the proceedings, which is what was needed. A psychological thriller must necessarily make the audience believe that they are part of the unfolding drama. But that just doesn’t happen as this drama unfolds on the screen. Sam Bariah’s dialogues are okay.
Peter Wilson is no hero material. He plays Peter in a routine manner. Eisha Singh is average in the role of Sara.
Peter Wilson’s direction is good in parts but not up to the mark in other parts. Radiant Aura’s music and Ozil Dalal’s lyrics are below average. Kevin Roy George’s background music is weak. Sarfaraz Ali and Hasan Khan’s camerawork is ordinary. Moses Fernandes’ action and stunt scenes ought to have been more exciting. Sam Bariah’s production designing, and Manoj N. Bhoyar’s art direction are not of standard. Peter Wilson’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Obsess will go largely unnoticed.
