I am found of Horror movies and wait eagerly to watch specifically if it is a Hindi Movie. I was geared up to watch this one too. The poster at the movie theater made it look like a great horror movie and I could not wait to check it out. So maybe my hopes were too high going into it.
I had very much made my mind that I will not write any review for this. But then I convinced myself that I have to tell my friends so that they don't waste their money on this. If ask me, I would say that Bollywood Audience must abandon Horror movie to full(for the record I went to watch it on friend's request on his money). I don't remember when was the last time I had seen a good Horror flick made by Bollywood(may be the first 1920). And seriously saying, in the name of Horror movies they are providing nonsense. OK I will try to keep it interesting. The worst news is that the director Tinu Desai is a really bad director. I mean I didn't find the movie in control of someone, like nobody cares how bad actors are acting or how bad a scene looks.
Movie starts with arrival Shivangi(Meera Chopra) from London to Sikar(Rajasthan). She tells incidents that forced her to come back home to her Parents. Story goes into flashback incidents occurred with her husband Veer Singh(Vishal Karwa). Everything going well with them in London, until Veer receives a gift from Rajasthan. Suddenly strange things begin to happen with Veer Singh. Shivangi comes to know that her husband is a helpless victim of black magic and only Jay(Sharman Joshi) who can help her from these Black Magic. Jay is the person who is her past love affair and resulted to falsely imprisoned for 5 years due to Shivangi's Family. Shivangi reaches to Jay for help, but he ignores to help Shivangi because of past issues. After Shivangi's request, Jay accepts to help out Shivangi. His only crime being that of falling in love with a princess while he is a person from the lower caste(how very original?). Initially reluctant, he agrees to come to London and help her deal with the Daayan who has possessed her beloved husband. Rest of the film is about how they get about it and finally accomplish their goal. Now Question is will Jay is able to enslave the spirit and set Veer free from Black Magic?
Wait …… there is also a twist in the film which signals the intermission. Wont reveal it as it will act as a spoiler to the pitiful few who might be actually contemplating watching it in the theaters, especially after reading the reviews written by our esteemed critics! What a travesty of justice indeed! This is perhaps, the only wow moment in the film, something different attempted finally.
1920 London is really Scary in some moments and sequences. Some Scenes gives you goosebumps and makes you frighten. Especially, The Possession Scene, where Sharman Joshi set free to one women from Spirit, that Scene really gives you spine chilling experience. On the other side Movie struggles with lack moments, which makes movie boring for some time. But Its Background score which makes you connected to the Movie. Cinematography of Movie is top class. Cinematographer has done a good job of capturing the beauty of London.
The makers of the film time and again stop short of going all out, especially after building the base for really scary scenes .This makes the scenes look ordinary rather than coming out as really scary ones . This aspect could have been covered better. Intentional or not … only they will be able to answer . This may be a let-down for the die-hard horror film buffs who had enjoyed the first two movies of the franchise.
Acting. Sharman tries hard but fails his look in the movie no where resembles to a poor Tantrik baba( He looks like a model in a designer outfit). Meera Chopra pleasssse can you learn acting though not her but the director's fault because he cast ed her. Rest is forgettable.
*Bad Things of movie*
Ghost is great to play hide and seek and funny more then scary. One of the worst direction I've ever seen in my life. Bad story line, Very immature movie mistakes, example, when sharman joshi throws wood block to mirror and it cracks but the locket he threw got passed, but how?
Bad casting: Actors didn't know what the acting actually is.
bad CGI effects: sharman joshi doesn't look like mewad wale baba, LOL, c'mon he just look like a young man who can do good comedy but not horror.
One more funny moment, when a person(baba) want to control evil spirit, the spirit takes him in the mirror and beats the hell out of him and throws back outside of mirror, Its funny and I liked that scene because of that comedy which was actually should be horror.
Ghost just fly around. Why ghost took sharman's soul at the end but not anyone else? Hell, sharman could offer anyone else's soul to ghost, This is one more stupid mistake.
How ghost have the locket back if it was threw in the Thames river? is the ghost scuba diver?
At first ghost took control of the body of veer singh but later on the ghost was fighting with sharman joshi, basically director thinks that we are stupid, and yes that ghost has a body, lol a soul has a body(in mirror world though) then can we can call her a human?
