The upcoming Kannada film ‘Nimitta Matra’ explores the consequences of a parapsychological experiment, drawing inspiration from a mysterious incident that occurred in Mangalore 15 years ago.
Written, directed, and produced by Roshan D’Souza, the film promises to deliver a gripping narrative. The recently released trailer has already captured audience interest.
Set in Bengaluru and Mangalore, ‘Nimitta Matra’ delves into the aftermath of forgotten secrets and unsettling experiments. It marks a rare venture into the parapsychological thriller genre for Kannada cinema, offering an intense viewing experience.
The story follows an investigative journalist, portrayed by actor Poornachandra Mysore, who is determined to uncover the truth behind mysterious events haunting the region for over a decade. Inspired by his father’s legacy, he confronts numerous challenges in his pursuit. The film raises questions about whether he will succeed in revealing the truth or if the reality is far more terrifying.
Director Roshan D’Souza emphasized the importance of the film’s trailer, stating, “Since the trailer serves as an invitation for audiences to watch our film, I took ample time to perfect it. After months of meticulous effort, I am thrilled with the response. ‘Nimitta Matra’ is a full-fledged commercial thriller, and for those unfamiliar with parapsychology, this film offers a completely unique experience.”
Lead actor Poornachandra Mysore shared his thoughts, saying, “Cinema is the director’s medium, and we are merely characters on their canvas. ‘Nimitta Matra’ is a complete commercial thriller with numerous twists, keeping the audience at the edge of their seats from start to finish. I hope they stay engaged until the end credits, as there is a special surprise waiting.”
Adding to the intrigue is Sangeetha Rajeev, who plays a pivotal female role. She remarked, “All the women in ‘Nimitta Matra’ play significant roles. When I first heard the story over a phone call, I was completely immersed in its world. We have already screened the film for select audiences, and they shared that the story lingers with you for days.”
Director Roshan D’Souza also highlighted the contribution of Aravind Kuplikar, who plays a police officer. “Aravind Kuplikar has a very special role in the movie. His subtle humor is exemplary, and his on-screen presence will definitely be talked about. I look forward to audiences seeing him in this avatar,” he noted.
With its engaging narrative, unexpected twists, and distinctive approach, ‘Nimitta Matra’ is set to release in theaters on February 14.
