The indie horror film 'Obsession' has emerged as a significant success, grossing $170 million worldwide against a modest budget of $750,000. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma expressed his admiration for the film on social media, suggesting that every woman possesses a bit of the character Nikki, which ignited controversy online. Critics argued that Varma misunderstood the film's core message, which revolves around a male character, Bear, who uses a supernatural toy to wish for his crush, Nikki, to love him, ultimately leading to dire consequences. Varma praised the film's unique editing style and sound design, noting its departure from traditional filmmaking norms. Director Curry Barker also acknowledged the film's success, thanking audiences for their support. Released in India on May 29, 'Obsession' has earned ₹32 crore at the Indian box office, further solidifying its impact in the horror genre.
