These turn the film somewhat predictable. Vijay works with tropes that are too familiar - lonely apartment block, freak accidents, bumbling cops (the comic scenes with RJ Balaji are quite jarring compared to the somber tone of the film), and underwritten characters who we never come to care about. Surprisingly, despite these strengths, Diya isn’t compelling enough. Nirav Shah’s cinematography lends a sheen to the visuals while Sam CS’s score maintains the element of dread. And Sai Pallavi comes up with a competent performance, both as the mother who pines for her lost child, and the wife who is frantically trying to save her husband. And the victims are its own family! The script doesn’t have a lot of flab, and at about 100 minutes, the film feels sprightly enough.
And Diya’s next target is her own father!ĭiya is structured as a revenge thriller, the main difference being that it is the ghost of a child - an unborn one, at that - which is on a killing spree. All these deaths seem accidents, but Thulasi realizes that there is something sinister at play - the aborted baby, whom she calls as Diya (Baby Veronika) is responsible for the deaths. But very soon, their family members who coerced her to choose abortion to end up dead even the doctor who performed the procedure dies. We also learn that Thulasi’s pregnancy was aborted so that she can pursue medicine and Krishna can get a job. Cut to five years later, and we see the two getting married. Diya opens with the parents of Thulasi (Sai Pallavi) and Krishna (Naga Shourya) coming to know of the pregnancy that has resulted out of the 20-year-olds’ relationship and wondering over the next course of action.
