A wealthy young traveller arrives at the hut of an impoverished family in a remote village and asks to stay the night. The father, mother and daughter are struggling to survive, and when they glimpse the money and gold he carries, desperation begins to whisper an unthinkable idea. Over one long, dark night, temptation, guilt and suspicion tighten around the four characters. Aa Karaala Ratri ("that terrible night") is adapted from a Kannada play and directed by Dayal Padmanabhan, who keeps it compact and claustrophobic. Rangayana Raghu and Veena Sundar were praised as the parents. It was later remade in Telugu as Anaganaga O Athidhi (2020).
