**Mumbai, India** – Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has joined the chorus of praise for Ananya Panday’s latest film, the cyber-thriller ‘CTRL’, which premiered on Netflix India on October 4th. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Samantha lauded Panday’s performance, calling it “outstanding” and urging her followers to watch the film.

“Highly recommend and a must watch #CTRL,” Samantha wrote, adding, “It is gripping from start to finish and exceptionally well-made. @ananyapanday you beauty, your performance was outstanding. It made me quickly grab my phone and uninstall several apps. Congratulations team #CTRL.”

Panday, who plays an influencer named Nella Awasthi in the film, re-shared Samantha’s praise on her own Instagram Stories.

While Samantha’s review joins the positive feedback for Panday’s performance, some critics have noted that the film’s themes are not entirely novel, with similar themes already explored in other content.
