Once suspicion is fallen on Sarfarosh and his friends, all sorts of supernatural and unexplained events start unfolding. A spiritual force seems present, watching and controlling the environment. Sarfarosh is convinced that there is some unseen power that will lead him to the truth of the murder. With time against him and his life collapsing around him, he has to find out the secrets that lie hidden before becoming the next victim.
“Salmon 3D” provides a mix of mystery, suspense, and supernatural horror. Vijay Yesudas presents an engaging performance as a man torn between the real and the unknown. Though the film creates intrigue through its unusual premise, there are moments that feature conventional horror tropes. The suspenseful visuals and tense atmosphere, however, make it an engaging flick for fans of horror thrillers.
