Story: Anthony (Sriram) travels to Suklapet with his mother, wife Mary (Kushi), and two children, Sophie (Leisha Surampudi) and Tara (Chaitra Peddi), after landing a position as an accountant in a rice mill. Mary, his wife, is expecting another kid. A few days later, the family encounters strange incidents and suspects a ghostly presence. Tara gets possessed by the ghost and puts her life in danger. Annamma (Eashwari Rao), an exorcist, tries to help them. Who is the spirit in the house? What is the backstory of the house? Did Tara get saved? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Ishwari Rao was perfect in the most crucial character of the movie. Avrasala Srinivas, Ravi Varma and others were ok.

Pindam Movie Review and Verdict:
Pindam Movie is a typical horror thriller with a few striking moments. Arresting and spine-chilling backstory, pre-climax, few emotional scenes, and background score work well for the movie, whereas dull proceedings in the first half, and predictable narrative apart from the flashback work against it. Horror genre lovers can watch the film with little expectation.
