This film, which has been well-received by fans, is now expected to be brought to OTT, which will help it reach even more people.

A film blending fear, humor, and emotions

'House Mates' stars Arsha Chandni Baiju, Vinothini Vaidyanathan, Deena, Abdul Lee, Master Henrique, and many others. The plot revolves around the mysterious events that occur after a newlywed couple, Karthik (Darshan) and Anu (Arsha), settle into their new home. The film takes us on a journey of shock, laughter, and emotion, suddenly shifting from an ordinary family scene to a supernatural situation.

Reviews highlighted smart direction

Among the reviews of Housemates, “The suspicious conflict that develops between Karthik and Anu is brilliantly portrayed. The director has captivated the audience by using familiar fear instead of directly showing the devil scenes. It can be said that this will be enjoyed by more people after its OTT release.

Sivakarthikeyan shares praise for 'House Mates'
