Kriti Sanon is earning widespread acclaim for her performance in a promotional recreation of a chilling sequence from the Hollywood supernatural thriller Obsession. The actor teamed up with Varun Dhawan to recreate the heavily discussed no-no-no-no scene originally performed by Inde Navarrette, sparking strong praise from audiences regarding her versatility and acting range.
Both Kriti and Varun have contributed their voice talents to the Hindi-dubbed version of Obsession, with Kriti voicing the character Nikki and Varun voicing Bear, under the creative direction of filmmaker Amar Kaushik. Ahead of the movie's digital release, promotional footage of the actors staging the intense scene was shared publicly, prompting a flood of positive reactions online.
Viewers quickly singled out Kriti's delivery and physical acting in the ad, with many taking to social media to argue that mainstream Bollywood cinema continues to underappreciate and underuse her capabilities as a performer. Commenters highlighted her skill, noting that her acting depth deserves much more challenging roles in the industry.
Obsession follows a strong run at the Indian box office and is scheduled to premiere in its original uncut format on JioHotstar. The project brings the Hollywood thriller to local audiences through a specially curated Hindi-dubbed edition featuring the two prominent Bollywood stars.
