DD Next Level on OTT: Why you should stream Santhanam’s horror comedy flick this weekend

A film that gives you both goosebumps and laughs

DD Next Level is a horror comedy film, which means you get goosebumps from the thrills, as well as have some laugh-out-loud moments as well. While there is a plethora of horror comedies in Tamil cinema, DD Next Level takes a unique premise and gives a bizarre spin to it, making it perfect for audiences of all ages to watch and enjoy.

Watch if you are a fan of spoof comedy

Santhanam, who started out his career in small screen by doing spoof comedy sketches, gets to revisit his old days with DD Next Level. With Gautham Menon’s Kaakha Kaakha song being spoofed by the filmmaker himself, to a comical reference to the Jailer sequel, the film entertains by driving comedy from spoof material.

Star-studded ensemble

With Santhanam leading the cast, DD Next Level has comic artistes in abundance. The cast of DD Next Level includes Santhanam, Geethika, Selvaraghavan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Nizhalgal Ravi, Kasthuri, Redin Kingsley, Yashika Anand, Rajendran, and Maran. With each getting their due share of screen time, the laughs are in abundance.

A quirky take on film reviews and critics

In the film, Santhanam plays a film critic who gets invited for a screening by a ghost. With this as the premise, DD Next Level only gets quirkier and interesting. The screenplay shows the critic getting sucked into the film and his family members play characters and do not recognize him. It is up to him to save them before the end credits roll. The film makes a subtle and comical dig at film reviewers and critic culture.

A different take from the successful film franchise

DD Next Level is the fourth part of the successful film franchise. The previous parts of the film, Dhilluku Dhuddu 1, Dhilluku Dhuddu 2, and DD Returns, also revolve around the hero getting trapped in a haunted house. However, with the fourth part, the makers have pushed the limits to set the film on an island and a cruise.
