CTRL, from director Vikramaditya Motwane, presented new on-screen flavors and acting versatility of Ananya Panday in the as-yet-enthralling sci-fi thriller, which hits theaters on October 4th. The movie was about the dangers of advanced AI, but the movie successfully appealed to critics and audiences alike due to its impressive plot and PANDEY’s scintillating performance.
Ananya Panday’s Role
In CTRL, Panday essays Nella Awasthi, a social media influencer who hears that the seemingly perfect life she shares with her boyfriend, Joe Mascarenhas, played by Vihaan Samat, is not as perfect after all when she finds out he cheated live on the internet stream. Despondent, she calls on an AI tool called “CTRL” to delete whatever is left of Joe from her life—literally, both online and offline.
The movie quickly changes to all kinds of action-packed moves, digging all the way into issues created about AI dangers. It is quite compared to popular pictures and series like Ra. One and Black Mirror in generating a spooky ambiance on artificially self-aware artificial intelligence.
Comparing Ra.One and Black Mirror
Audiences have already discovered similarities between CTRL and Ra. One by their AI theme. “CTRL is just like Ra. One; is an AI entity taking control and doing all shady things. interesting movie,” said one viewer. “It is also like Black Mirror,” said another, adding, “Very accurate depiction of digital life. #AnanyaPanday solid.” These similarities will be drawn on as the movie provides sharp commentary on the growing importance of technology in our lives.

Panday’s Breakthrough Performance
She is garnering accolades as her performance in CTRL has really gained her a lot of recognition. She performs well in acting out the emotional journey of her character from heartbreak to grappling with the connotation that AI dependency brings along. According to several reviewers and viewers, portrayed by Panday as Nella, “this film calls out a frightening AI future, echoing Elon Musk’s warnings about AI’s dangers.”
With CTRL, Ananya Panday has amplified her presence in the industry and transitioned from previously lightly played roles to playing richer characters.
Warning: AI Influence
CTRL is not just a thriller; there is also a danger warning about excessive dependence on social networks and AI. Questions such a film poses, and its pointful questions about how advanced technology might change our life, do not let it be ignored by viewers.
