Dog

Having lost everything he ever loved suffering from PTSD and recently released from prison after serving a long sentence, Virendera welcomes the quiet and solitude of his secluded cabin in the Himalayan Mountains. But he is not as alone as it seems. A stray dog has already taken up residence in the cabin and despite being incredibly cautious of the new owner, he shows no intention of leaving. Despite his aversion towards caring for anything ever again, Virendra wins the dog's trust and loyalty, eventually naming him after a major source of his deepest heartbreak - Jesus. Even through the long, cold nights of unceasing nightmares, Jesus stays with him. He observes the strange behavior of his newest neighbors - a lesbian couple, Dolly and Sanjana - that seems strangely familiar - but steers clear of them at all costs. Jesus however, takes a keen interest in them and doesn't come home one night.

Directed by Shailendra Singh, Dog leans on a strong ensemble — Shailendra Singh, Rishabh Sinha, Srikant Dwivedi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2024.
