Shark thriller Thrash isn’t the only aquatic creature feature arriving on Netflix today; the streamer has also unleashed India’s remake of the Thai killer croc movie The Pool.
Watch the trailer below for Tu Yaa Main, a vibrant update on Ping Lumpraploeng‘s The Pool that’s now streaming.
In Tu Yaa Main, “A rapper from Nalasopara and a South Bombay influencer see their romance tested when a monsoon traps them with a man-eating crocodile.”
Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor star in the film directed by Bejoy Nambiar.
The original film won the special mention award for “Most Fun Movie to See with an Audience” at Fantastic Fest in 2019, where our own Trace Thurman raved in his review, “Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is so stupid and so aware of that stupidity that you can’t help but be won over by its charms. It knows exactly what kind of movie it’s trying to be and doesn’t have any pretenses about being ‘high art.‘ It knows what viewers are expecting and playfully toys with those expectations, stringing them along on a roller coaster of fun.”
In other words, The Pool leans into its preposterous setup and has a blast with it, and Tu Yaa Main appears to follow suit on a much bigger scale.
With The Pool currently streaming on Screambox, you can make this one a double feature this weekend.
