The suspense has arrived—Relay, the much-anticipated English thriller from acclaimed director David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), is now playing in theatres across India. Packed with intrigue and tension, the film features Riz Ahmed as Tom/Ash, a shadowy “fixer” who brokers secret deals through a covert telecom relay system. Joining him is Lily James as Sarah Grant, a brave biotech scientist turned whistle-blower, with Sam Worthington delivering intensity as Dawson, a corporate enforcer who will stop at nothing to hunt them down.
The film has already generated international buzz since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024 and its U.S. release earlier this month. With close to 1,500 theatres showcasing it worldwide, Relay is quickly establishing itself as one of the most intriguing global thrillers of the year. Audiences abroad have been captivated by its slow-burn storytelling, old-school conspiracy thriller style, and the magnetic screen presence of Riz Ahmed, whose restrained yet commanding performance is being singled out as one of his finest.
Set against a backdrop of corporate secrets, shadowy deals, and moral dilemmas, Relay combines sharp direction with a mood that recalls the classic paranoia thrillers of the 1970s. It’s a film that pulls you into its world quietly, then refuses to let you go. For fans of intelligent, character-driven suspense, this is cinema at its most immersive.
Now, with its release across major Indian cities, audiences here finally have the chance to experience the edge-of-your-seat tension and atmospheric storytelling that international viewers have already embraced.
