A gripping journey through deceit and digital shadows

The internet facilitates everything from sending a simple text to handling crores in cryptocurrency, so much so that it wouldn't be a stretch to say the world runs around it.

- A SHARADHAA

The internet facilitates everything from sending a simple text to handling crores in cryptocurrency, so much so that it wouldn't be a stretch to say the world runs around it. But what happens when a darker force takes control and the internet stops being a tool and becomes a weapon instead? India has recently taken steps to spread awareness about the dark web, a digital underworld that operates beyond the reach of regular browsers where secrecy is currency and crime is masked as business.

Directors Ravikiran D and Chethan SP's Kapati sets the stage for a story where nothing is as it seems. While Kannada cinema often plays it safe, Kapati takes a different route, peeling back layers of deception one scene at a time. It challenges the audience to question what's real and what's just another well-crafted lie. More than just a thriller, Kapati walks the razor's edge between fiction and reality.
