Indian Institute of Zombies’ Opens to Mixed Early Reviews

Early notices frame the film as an energetic campus satire with uneven execution.

Overview

  • The Hindi horror-comedy arrives in theaters to a split critical response that highlights both spark and slack.
  • Reviewers say a scientist’s “amrit” trial at a top-tier college unleashes zombies as a send-up of rank, pressure and privilege.
  • Deccan Chronicle applauds the lively direction, campus humor and select turns from Mohan Kapur, Anupriya Goenka and Jessey Lever.
  • India Today criticizes a stretched, repetitive script, tonal confusion and scares that rarely build tension despite heavy gore.
  • Scroll.in notes sharp moments and a backbenchers-rise theme, yet calls the film uneven and likely to find a cult student following.
