Seeing Red(2025)

Storyline

In a 1980s Tamil Nadu home, a peaceful morning turns chaotic when three women say they see a ghost no one else can. The family's panicked efforts to fix the situation, including hiring a ghost hunter, only make things funnier and more confusing. Their struggle starts to blur the line between a supernatural haunting and a form of quiet rebellion.

“Three women see a ghost. The whole house loses its mind.”

Trivia

• A key prop, a vintage radio, was sourced from a collector in Madurai and actually functioned during filming.
