‘Warning’: Nothing to be scared of
Warning is an attempt to make something different in that it chooses an underwater theme with 3D effects. However, trying to be different does not amount to being original. Thus, the film borrows heavily from an English film, Open Water 2: Adrift.
A bunch of friends decide to go mid-sea for a break and celebrate their reunion. These seven friends decide to go for a swim and sure enough all of them jump into the sea leaving only a year old toddler aboard. While they are having fun they don’t realise they have no way of getting back on the yacht because, in their joyous mood, they have forgotten to lower the ladder to board the yacht again.
When they realise, they try to devise ways to climb back while they ward off sharks and struggle to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the little baby is alone on the yacht and crying. As would happen in any reunion, the past incidents catch up with the group. Past enmity too resurfaces. To add some tense moments, one of the girls forced to jump into the water suffers from aqua-phobia.
There is no suspense in the film as such except how many will be sacrificed while efforts are being made to climb back aboard and how many will make it out alive. In fact, the film takes recourse to the original source in plotting its sequence of events.

The film is well endowed with good photography and background score but despite a readymade subject and 3D effects to play with, it is the treatment that is seen to be wanting. The film fails to scare or even cause anxiety in any sequence. Performances range from average to passable.
Warning 3D will prove to be one of those also ran films.

Kridhan Infra enters film production with AI-led feature film
Infra firm debuts AI-powered film marking RSS centenary
MUMBAI: Kridhan Infra Limited is swapping hard hats for headsets. The infrastructure company has announced its entry into film production and media technology through its subsidiary, Kridhan Mediatech Private Limited, with the nationwide theatrical release of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh, an AI-led feature film.
With Shatak, the company is not just stepping into cinema but staking a claim in what it describes as one of the world’s early full-length AI-driven feature films. Artificial Intelligence has been embedded across the creative and production process, from script visualisation and environment creation to modelling and production design.
The film commemorates 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, tracing defining moments, personalities and historical phases that shaped its journey. By combining archival storytelling with algorithm-powered creativity, the project attempts to blend heritage with high technology.
For Kridhan Mediatech, this is only the opening scene. The subsidiary’s broader ambition spans AI, CGI, virtual production systems and scalable content models for both theatres and digital platforms. The move signals a strategic diversification for Kridhan Infra, traditionally rooted in engineering and construction.
The timing aligns with India’s growing push to become a global AI powerhouse. At the 2026 AI Impact Summit, prime minister Narendra Modi urged innovators to design in India and deliver to the world. Kridhan Mediatech’s initiative positions itself squarely within that narrative, aiming to export technology-enabled storytelling beyond domestic audiences.
India’s media and entertainment industry, valued at over Rs 2.5 lakh crore, alongside a rapidly expanding AI economy projected to cross Rs 1.4 lakh crore in the coming years, offers fertile ground at the intersection of cinema and code.
“With Shatak, we proudly present one of the world’s first AI-led full-length feature films while marking our strategic entry into film production and media technology through our subsidiary,” the company said in a statement. “Our vision is to combine India’s rich narrative heritage with forward-looking innovation. This is just the beginning of building globally competitive, technology-enabled cinematic experiences.”
From infrastructure to imagination, Kridhan’s latest venture suggests that in today’s India, even storytelling can be engineered.
