Pizza 3 movie review
Story:
A father returns home with a small ancient Egyptian statue. Though he does not know its history, he desires to keep the antique piece safe.
Little does he know that the statue was created by an Egyptian princess several centuries ago to contain all the evil energies that were around her at a time when her kingdom was surrounded by enemy troops.
The powerful statue, we are told, has the power to invoke evil spirits around the place it is placed.
Soon after, the scene of action shifts to a newly started restaurant that is being run by an enterprising youngster called Nalan (Ashwin Kakumanu).
Nalan is in love with Kayal (Pavithra Marimuthu), an app creator. She is now looking to create an app through which one can communicate with evil spirits.
However, Kayal’s brother Prem, a police officer, is not impressed with Kayal’s interest in Nalan and is looking for an opportunity to get rid of Nalan.
It is under these circumstances that one day, a customer who visits Nalan’s restaurant brings a doll which he forgets to take back with him.
Soon after, strange things begin to happen at the restaurant. A sweet with a divine taste keeps appearing in the restaurant’s refrigerator and the hotel staff think it is Nalan who has come up with a new recipe.
Initially, Nalan is surprised but not worried. However, he starts observing some movement in the night.
He instals a video camera inside his hotel’s kitchen to investigate and finds out that there are evil spirits moving inside. What happens next is what the movie is all about.

Though, there is nothing new in the premise, it manages to keep the audience interested.

Ashwin Kakumanu’s portrayal of his character is impressive and appreciable. He effortlessly slips into the character
Pavithrah Marimuthu has done her part well and makes her mark.
Rest of the cast including Kaali Venkat, Anupama Kumar, Abi Nakshatra and Gaurav Narayanan have all delivered what was expected from them.
