Aake is a 2017 Indian Kannada language neo noir horror film directed by K. M. Chaitanya.[1] It features Chiranjeevi Sarja and Sharmiela Mandre in the lead.[2] Achyuth Kumar and Prakash Belawadi play the supporting roles. The screenplay was written by Sunanda and Carl Austin. The movie is an official remake of the 2015 Tamil movie Maya.[3][4]
The film runs on two seemingly separate plots simultaneously. In one, a single mother in Bengaluru is trying to make a living out of her floundering acting career. In the second, an artist is in London assigned to draw illustrations for a book about a ghost that haunts a locked out mental asylum.
It is only towards the end that the two plots merge and the audience gets to understand the suspense and the missing blocks.
