Asvins movie review
Story:
Twin children of a farmer die by drowning in a waterbody. Heartbroken by this, the farmer prays to the god Ashwini Kumaras.
The Ashwini Kumaras appear before the farmer and say that they will be able to resurrect only one child and also say that he will only die a natural death and nothing else can cause his death.
They also give the farmer a twin horse golden statute and say that they should always be kept together failing which the world will be taken over by evil people.
Devil approaches the resurrected boy and offers to trade his twin brother’s life for one of the golden horses.
The child also agrees to it, after taking the horse statute, the devil makes a Saithan from hell to dwell in that village.
Several people from the village die after this, including a researcher who is living in a palace in London.
