Move over, typical Bollywood masala – Kiss Ka Call is here to mess with your mind! This ShemarooMe original, directed by Shantanu Anand Tambe, serves up a chilling tale of obsession, mystery, and unanswered calls that’ll make you think twice before picking up your phone.
Plot Twist Alert: When Mumbai Dreams Turn Dark
The film follows Rocky Sharma (Raayo S. Bhakhirta), a small-town guy chasing Bollywood fame but stuck in the OTT grind. Six years in, he’s still stuck doing adult films (no, not that kind of adult – think low-budget thrillers). Just when he’s about to give up, unknown calls start haunting him. The catch? They disconnect the second he answers.
Cue the suspense! What starts as an eerie nuisance soon spirals into a mind-bending psychological game. Is it a prank? A stalker? Or something far darker? Buckle up – this one’s a rollercoaster of paranoia.

The Good: Raayo’s Raw Performance & Relatable Struggle
Raayo (remember him from Pyaar Ka Punchnama?) delivers a gritty, believable act as the frustrated actor-turned-victim. The film nails the struggles of outsiders in Bollywood – the endless auditions, the typecasting, and the OTT takeover by big stars.
The Bad: Repetition & Low-Budget Blues
Here’s the hitch: the constant unknown calls get old fast. What’s terrifying at first becomes annoying by the 10th ring. The film’s shoestring budget shows – weak cinematography, recycled scenes, and dialogues that lack punch. And that awkward adult scene? Yeah, skip this one for family movie night.
Verdict: Worth a Watch?
If you love slow-burn thrillers (think Raman Raghav 2.0 vibes), give it a shot. But keep expectations low. The mystery payoff? Decent. The execution? Could’ve been tighter.
Final Reel Rating: ⭐⭐½ (2.5/5) – A one-time watch for thriller junkies. Just don’t blame us if you start ignoring unknown numbers!
P.S. Fans of Anurag Kashyap-style dark cinema might dig this. Others? Maybe wait for the next Dhamaka-level thriller.
(Pro Tip: Watch with headphones for maximum creepy-call effect!)
