Sangeetha

Sangeetha totally steals the show in Kaadumale (2025). The film’s a wild ride through the thick forests of the Western Ghats, where city life and ancient legends crash into each other. Sangeetha plays a botanist—yeah, the plant nerd who’d rather talk to ferns than people—dragged into a world where reality gets a little too fuzzy for comfort. She’s out there, trying to map rare plant species, minding her own business, until the locals start whispering about this old forest god. You know how these things go: mysterious symbols, creepy animal sightings, and the sense that something’s always watching from the shadows. Things spiral fast. Sangeetha’s character goes from rolling her eyes at ghost stories to straight-up questioning what’s real and what’s just in her head. Her skepticism gets chewed up and spit out by the forest, especially after a few run-ins with things that don’t belong in any field guide. And the cinematography? Just wow. The forest feels alive, almost like it’s breathing down your neck, and there’s this constant tension—like, is it magic, or just nature being weird? Of course, the film isn’t just about jumpscares or spooky vibes. It digs into what happens when science and myth butt heads, and Sangeetha’s performance brings a ton of heart to all that confusion and fear. All in all, Kaadumale manages to be haunting and gorgeous, with Sangeetha right at the center, making you root for her even when you’re not sure she’s gonna make it out.
