Sangeeth Sivan, brother of Santosh Sivan, makes his directorial debut with the horror-thriller ‘Sandhya’. The film stars Jackie Shroff and Ashutosh Rana. The story is about Dr. Singhania (Ashutosh Rana), a psychiatrist who works in an asylum. One day his family is ruthlessly murdered in their home and the shock causes him to go insane. He ends up being admitted in the very same hospital where he was practicing. Time passes and when evaluated, he appears to be normal and has recovered from the trauma. Upon his release, he even decides to go back home, renovate it and turn it into a nursing home called 'Sandhya'. But normalcy doesn't last long as Singhania starts remembering his family. He goes back into a depression.
As the anniversary of the day of his family's death approaches, he becomes more and more erratic. To relieve his suffering, he decides that the best way out is to join the rest of his family. He then decides to hire Jaggu (Jackie Shroff) to murder him on his family's death anniversary. Jaggu reluctantly agrees and on the fateful day, everything is in place for the event but then something goes wrong. The killer now has to fight for survival himself as he realizes that he has been deceived.
Sivan has probably decided to test the theory that after Raaz it is only movies that make one's hair stand that are successful commercially. From an audience point of view, Sandhya will be an interesting look into the minds of the insane and also a thrilling ride.
The highlight of this film will be its musical score that has been composed by Anand Raj Anand. Veering towards the 'rock' style, it will definitely entice the audience with fear as Sandhya reveals its horrendous secrets on screen.
