The film is about Inspector Sonia, a dedicated police officer haunted by an unresolved rape case that challenges her like no other. As she uncovers a chilling conspiracy hidden behind ghost stories and land scams, Sonia must fight corruption and fear to bring justice to the victims. Gift follows Inspector Sonia, a determined police officer haunted by one unsolved rape case that has stayed with her for years. Renowned for her astuteness, she certainly gets an opportunity when a murder case leads her to a new investigation of an old case. As Sonia probes into the matter, she finds a really unexpected connection: a land mafia of great power that is resorting to false ghost stories and fear to make the people of Kodaikanal leave their houses are the ones at the root of the problem. Having very few friends and being hunted from all directions, Sonia sees the picture clearly: those women who went missing, the locals who were tricked, and the fake haunting that all the same criminals were hiding behind. She pushes herself beyond her fear, corruption, and resistance to bring the truth out. At the last moment, she collects enough proof, makes the key leaders who were behind the case of the victims, and solves the case. The movie depicts not only a crime that is getting solved but also the psychological pain of the victims and those who support them, which is caused by such cases. Gift is an upcoming crime drama that only aims to thrill the audience, but it also has a profound emotional element, which is related to justice and victory. The movie is very realistic in depicting abuse, fear, and silence that is presented as a systemic issue. The film beautifully portrays the pain of unhealed trauma. Because of its real voice and the investigative emotions, Gift tries to tell a meaningful story. It was planned to be released in theatres on July 25, 2025. It is a must-watch!
