Vikramaditya Motwane's film starring Ananya Panday was recently released on Netflix, and here's what the Janta is saying about this screenlife thriller and Ananya's performance!
Helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane, CTRL primarily unfolds through a gaze inside a person's digital life. It stars Ananya Panday as this young, popular, and successful influencer, Nella, who is dating Joy (Vihaan Samat) and they're popular as 'NJOY'. After a very public break-up, she ends up relying on an AI assistant, Allen that helps her digitally erase Joy from her life which co-incidentally also makes him disappear in real life. While exploring influencer culture, the film is a commentary on the repercussions of the digital era that has made us so reliant on it that we have forgotten how to exist or feel human without it.

The Janta seems to be in love with this film because it explores a new innovative format of screenlife to warn us about the horrors of technology. Apart from praising Vikramaditya Motwane for constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with filmmaking, the Janta cannot help but show appreciation for Ananya Panday. Most people refer to her as a new Gen Z actor who, with her choices, is slowly showing her mettle as an actor and a future star. People also seem to be effectively in utter shock after watching the film and what it portrays!
Check out the Janta's reactions!
Absolutely loved this film. It is what most of us are doing these days and will literally push us to introspect ourselves before agreeing to any random app's Terms and conditions

The movie is abt how social media, AI and corporates are controlling us and not vice versa. Ananya Panday is good. Vihaan Samat is brilliant. The movie cudve been much better. Esp the climax.Theres no closure!#CTRLpic.twitter.com/SHM1wC6KNa
Okay, Ananya Pandey can act, and I love this new Gen Z OTT era for her. But Ananya cheated on Vihaan in 'Call Me Bae' and Vihaan cheated on her in '#CTRL' so it's a break-even, right? In the third show/series, they'll start fresh, right?

What are your reviews about #CTRL on Netflix??

I just finished watching it and damn! That might be reality in the near future. It's high time we realise that the Internet is only for our help, not to take control of our lives!

Vikramaditya Motwane skillfully portrays a frightening AI future, echoing Elon Musk's warnings about AI's dangers. The film shifts smoothly from lighthearted to haunting, making it highly recommended, particularly due to Ananya Panday's standout performance. pic.twitter.com/Ccbyq3vU2N
Creepy times ahead when AI takes control of your life and happiness. #CTRL #netflixmovie

#CTRL is interesting. Don't think Vikram Motwane has made anything that's not.

But let's talk about Ananya Panday. I've seen her in 4 titles so far—Gehraiyaan, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Call Me Bae, CTRL—and found her good in each. Why does she get such hate?! pic.twitter.com/iKIHmYjT2h

We all owe an apology to Ananya Pandey for trolling & being mean to her. Although I never trolled her but I never really like her either. Since her last few movies and shows I’ve become so fond of her! She is amazing. Really! #CTRL #AnanyaPanday

"I thought #CTRL was a cheap movie choice, but I guess it's a real-life hack. Life can truly be horrible if this is how technology manipulates personal life..

Okay, Ananya was great! She has improved…
Movie was a decent watch..well made !! Should have had a stronger ending ..may be! Although the somber ending it had was more realistic i guess…
Vikramaditya motwane is one of my most favourite filmmakers working today.

First 30 mins i was like wtf is this travesty but when the actual conflict comes it turns very scary and unsettling resonating with our generation.
Back to back banger performances from my anipie❤️#CTRL
ALLEN the personal AI assistant of NELLA ( Ananya Pandey) adds much humour to #CTRL movie. ALLEN seems like witty version of actor Ranveer singh. His facial expressions are just hilarious 😆 😄 pic.twitter.com/W5UhNGAxgE
