Director: Chaitu Madala
A single moment on a clock face rewrites two worlds at once in "7:11 PM," a 2023 Telugu-language science-fiction thriller from director Chaitu Madala.
What is 7:11 PM about?
In the town of Hamsala Deevi, an aspiring police officer named Ravi is pulled into an event that ripples far past the town limits, reaching all the way to a distant planet called Proxima-EV12. When the exact minute of 7:11 PM triggers a shift that threatens everyone Ravi cares about, he is forced into a journey across time itself to track down the figure responsible. The film uses that time-travel device not as a gimmick but as the engine for its mystery, tying a small-town crisis to cosmic stakes and asking what one person is willing to risk to protect the people and place he loves. Expect overlapping timelines, a methodical build toward the identity of the mastermind behind the disruption, and a hero whose training as an IPS aspirant becomes crucial once ordinary rules of cause and effect stop applying.
Cast & crew
Saahas Pagadala leads as Ravi, with Deepika Reddy, Tess Walsh, Bharath Reddy, Suresh Chinamuthevi, Vasu Rothu, Louie Athanasiou, and Sienna Lillie Ham rounding out the cast across the film's Australian and Indian settings.
Context & significance
"7:11 PM" is a co-production shot across Australia and India, released in 2023 and running 129 minutes. It blends regional filmmaking with a genre premise more commonly seen in bigger-budget science-fiction productions, and its cross-continental cast and crew reflect that hybrid approach. Carrying a 5.6 audience rating, it sits among the smaller-scale genre films that mix a personal, small-town crisis with a much larger interplanetary threat, a combination that gives the story two very different registers to move between.
