Review 

Asmee is a dark-themed film that should come with several trigger warnings since it is not suitable for sensitive audiences who cannot fathom the trauma and gore. Although coming to the plot, the writer/person behind the film plot did a great job curating a story that has the potential of what could be a great suspense thriller. The main lead of this film, Rushika Raj, carried the entire film in her palms as she sways the audience away with her remarkably astounding performance. She brilliantly portrayed the trauma, despondency and emotional wrath of people who experience the horror of being kidnapped and tortured.  

What weighs down this film into disappointment is the poor performances of the supporting cast. With a sensitive film like this, we expect the supporting cast to have a little more personality and profundity that was entirely missing in this film.  

Some feels also feel very much exaggerated and the acting goes feeble in the scenes that suck out the thrill of watching this film. The director did a decent job carrying out the climax of the film.  

Due to these drawbacks, the acting of Rushika Raj is discredited and clouded out of appreciation.  

Verdict

This film is worth watching for its gory concept and Rushika Raj's fine acting.
