Smrithi
I believe ‘Gu’ is very much a children’s film at its core. It’s rooted in the world of a child’s perspective, where logic is fluid, and imagination fills the gaps adults ignore. The entire movie operates through the lens of childhood: cousins meeting during holidays, spooky stories around the house, exaggerated fears, and the thrill of believing in something magical or terrifying. That nostalgic mood of short vacations, cousin bonding, and myth-like ghost stories is the emotional heart of the movie.
And about the unreliable narration I believe The protagonist, being a child, doesn’t fully understand the deeper games being played by the elder cousin Mithran(Ayurvedha cousin) and Minna. To him, it’s all mysterious, and that ambiguity lets the film play in a subtle space. That Mithran’s spinning tales isn’t of being afraid I guess, he’s performing, perhaps manipulating the atmosphere, maybe even playing with the children’s gullibility for his own reason, or to protect them from something darker. And the film never overtly confirms any supernatural events , it’s the child who perceives everything as eerie or magical, leaving room for interpretation.
So yes, if someone watches it expecting a direct horror or suspense plot, they will miss those narrative layers. The film isn’t about ghost, it’s about how children experience fear, how they process adult behavior, and how memory distorts things with age. In that sense, it’s more psychological than visible horror moments.
