Like any horror movie this one also open with a scene in which an extra/junior artist gets massacred or rather I should say butchered. Then it takes a romantic turn and reaches Mumbai; well good job by Vikrant Bhatt and his art director for showing trams on the streets of Mumbai. Yeah this effort is noteworthy throughout the movie he has paid special emphasis on the fact that the back drop should be of the 1920?s style even the mode of transportation in the remote place like Palanpur is shown as buggy and horseback. Although once you look at this place you can easily make out that it?s been shot in some European country and the haveli is nothing but some old knight?s castle. Any ways let?s stick to the topic. If you have seen exorcist then you can easily make out the striking similarities between some of the scenes. Some déjà vu sequences like the conflict of husband whether to take the Doctor?s advice or listen to a priest?s pleas that his wife needs god?s help and not a hospital. About performance Rajneesh Duggal has to work a lot on his acting, Adah Sharma looked pretty stiff when playing the character of Lisa (the normal one). But when it comes to play the character of the possessed girl; man she has managed to create the same magic like Urmila did in Bhoot. Direction is typical Vikram Bhatt style neither good nor bad but passable. There are a few scary shots which may not be very effective on small screen. So if you want the real adrenalin rush than better watch it on big screen. Just for the adrenalin rush otherwise it is advisable to wait for the DVD. |
