Synopsis

A reimagining of masala cinema, Namaslay is a pyroclastic, genre-smashing horror satire that eviscerates the appropriation of Yoga in the West—proving culture is the blood that keeps the dead alive.
Moviegoers are saying
Namaslay strikes viewers as a sharp, culturally aware comedy that tackles yoga world appropriation with genuine laughs and cutting social commentary, though audiences consistently note it stumbles in its horror elements which feel more 'live action Scooby Doo' than genuinely scary. The sibling directing duo's debut shows clear promise with its approachable take on racism and strong production values, even if first-film pacing issues hold it back from greatness.

    Q&A with Rish and Kanish Namaslaayyyyy 💅 Never trust a white person who does yoga.  Really fun movie! I laughed a lot. This movie definitely shines with its humor but lacks in the horror department. The horror elements felt very live action Scooby Doo. I wasn’t sure…

    Fun film. The Q&A with Rish & Kanish afterwards was insightful.

    Reyna does not need to misunderstand yoga to exploit it. She understands exactly which fragments can be turned into merchandise, instructor packages, social media credibility, and the reassuring appearance of diversity. That distinction gives Namaslay its sharpest…
