Another
travesty in the name of a horror, thriller film this one borders on a comedy it
times because it is so silly. It makes you wonder how anyone could conceive a
story like this and on what grounds somebody in his right mind would put it in
money to make such a film.
I can’t
remember the last time when I zoned out in the first 30 seconds of a film.
Right at the beginning we are told that in many cultures 3 a.m is supposed to
be the most haunted hour. Yeah, right – all the ghouls have alarms on their
cell phones to remind them of the
time.
Told in
flashback Sunny (Rannvijay Singh) an anchor and reality show director of sorts investigates
the death of his girlfriend (Annidita Nayar) who dies while filming a show at a
haunted mill.
He decides
to do on haunted places after getting approval from his producer – “Show ko it darawana banao ki log apne ghar
mein dekhne se bhi ghabra jaye” he says. Along with his friends, they set
up a rather shoddy production to capture the hyper active ghost who was the
mill owner. In case you get tired of him there are some songs thrown in for
relief before the ghost takes centre stage again.
At one
point, the caretaker warns them by saying “Amavasya
ki raat buri atmaye aur bhi powerful ho jaati hain.”
You can
consider this review as a warning.
