Anyhow, so...Shaapit. Debut movie for Aditya Narayan, who became popular (and girls went crazy whenever he came on stage) after hosting a singing competition on Zee(IIRC). He has done a good job for his first and it would surely be fun to see him do more roles where acting skills are all that the script depends on.
The story is about Kaaya(Shubh Joshi) who is under a curse and Aman(Aditya Narayan) who is in love with her and pledges to remain so till eternity. Kaaya's curse will not let her get married, and if she decides to do so, she will be killed. Aman will not let the curse do them apart and hence starts his journey to achieve the impossible. In his quest he meets a professor who has studied spirits and written a detailed book about live examples. The professor will not help Aman, just because fighting with spirits is not a cake walk and he can't stain his hands with Aman's blood (A typical dialogue you'd say right...but maybe the script writer didn't realise that in bollywood the lead protagonist (male) never loses :P)
So, Aman takes on a challenge and proves to the professor that he has what it takes, to fight the spirits (How he does so, find out by reading the book page 117 (IIRC) :P)
The story is quite believable and the effects are damn good, as per bollywood standards. The sound and light effects are good. If a little more time would have spent on effects and aatmas the 'thrill' i.e. the effect the movie should have, would have been noticed atleast. The script is a bit stretched towards the end which makes you ask "ye aatma kab nasht hogi?".
Overall, I'd say for the effects is a good watch. Acting is not bad. Direction is good too.
yep.. end kheecha hai..
