Analysis:
In the last few years, Bollywood has opened up more towards horror genre and it must be said that it is proving to be a fetching option at the box office. The key is, more than having a proper plot and essence, it is important to come up with the right kind of jolts to the audience and giving that creeps to audience when they watch the film. This attempt seems to have worked in this film and due credit goes to the sound, lighting and direction. Script was not great, screenplay was taut, background score was impressive, editing was good, costumes didn’t have to do much, art department was excellent. Among the performers, Karan was experienced, Hasan was alright, Ravish was good, Nishant was natural, Nandini was neat, Aparna was good, Radhika was ravishing. Sheetal Singh was apt. Overall, this is a film which will cater more to the taste of the horror seeking audience than regular ones. Commercially, it would be a viable project at the box office.
