Freddy Hindi Movie Review: With each movie, Kartik Aaryan becomes a larger star in the Hindi film business. His most recent success, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,” was a smash hit that brought in a lot of money for the producers. After such great success, he has now created the suspense film “Freddy,” which is currently streaming straight on Disney+Hotstar. The movie’s teaser, which showed both Freddy’s good and nasty sides, looked quite intriguing. Let’s go into the full assessment of this film to find out if it lives up to the teaser’s promise of intrigue.
Story
Dr. Freddy Ginwala, a quiet, lonesome, and socially uncomfortable individual, is the focus of the film Freddy. He only has one companion, a pet turtle by the name of Hardy, and he enjoys playing with his model airplanes. But nobody is aware of Freddy’s sinister side. The rest of the story is about what caused Freddy to become dangerous enough to kill people and how he dealt with those who were murderers.
Cast & Crew
Kartik Aaryan, Jeniffer Piccinato, Alaya F, Tripti Agarwal, and others make up the cast of the Freddy movie. Shashanka Ghosh is the director, and Jay Shewakramani, Ekta Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor are the producers.

Verdict
The Freddy movie takes its time introducing the character of Freddy and longer to illustrate his daily activities. These scenes go longer than usual, which causes the viewer to lose interest quickly. Only when Freddy’s shadowy side is shown on screen does the movie pick up the pace and become entertaining. Despite the fact that a few scenes are intriguing and have the potential to send chills down our spines, we can sense that something went wrong and rendered these sequences to look quite ordinary. Even though the movie is a thriller, it is impossible to pinpoint what went wrong with the sequences because they have no dramatic impact. The movie’s climax is equally predictable and just passably performed.
In terms of acting performances, Kartik Aaryan’s character “Freddy” is the main focus of this film. A few days before the film’s release, the production team published a video showing Kartik Aaryan’s transformation into Freddy. Kartik has undergone a noticeable physical makeover, yet his performance is lacking. The character of Freddy has a lot of room for performance, showing off various sides to him and emotions that could make a big impact, but Kartik Aaryan’s portrayal of the role failed to make that impact and he frequently comes off as very artificial. All other actors performed admirably in the brief parts that were given to them, and Alaya did fine in her small part.
The Freddy movie looks good technically. Pritam’s music and background soundtrack are among the film’s standout features. The action is made more fascinating and heightens the gloomy tone in part thanks to the movie’s background music. Ayananka Bose’s cinematography looks fantastic in a few instances but has some rather mundane framing in others. Good editing eliminates any superfluous scenes. High production values.
Shashanka Ghosh, the director of the already digitally released film “Plan A Plan B” this year, was unimpressed once more with his creation. Although the plot of the film is straightforward, he could have made it more engaging by emphasizing Freddy’s persona and creating interesting characters to surround him.
Overall, Freddy is a mediocre thriller that you can stream this weekend on Disney+Hotstar. There aren’t many scenes in this film that are very captivating.
Plus Points:
- Production Values
- Background Score
