The acting..is sad. The actor even sadder. The actress..she looks cute but that impression is valid until she starts talking. The dialogues..well they did make me laugh (This was supposed to be a serious kinda movie :P)
The direction..I'd give it a nice try. The music..hardly matters. The background score..good.
Besides that, its a typical bollywood masala movie. You name the concept and it is there in the movie. pyaar, mohabbat, izhaar, ikraar, judaai, takraar etc etc. And then, you wouldn't believe it, the movie also has a twist of time travel to it :D
So, the story starts with our hero coming all the way from US to complete a deal..selling this age old villa. He reaches the villa only to find out that there is something wrong there. He hears someone playing the piano and then someone yelling out her guts. He has to find out the truth about this, before the new owner turns up in 10 days. So, he goes to talk to this uncle who stays in the same city and has obviously heard about the villa. And when his uncle refuses to believe that there is a ghost, our hero says "Mein pagal nahi hoon. Maine MBA Stanford University se kiya hai". Okay, so point proven :P
So anyhow, he tries seeking help from a "spiritual walker" But she gives up saying that this soul is 80 years old and has grown very strong and evil. But the hero won't give up. (Would have been better if he gave up on acting actually :P) Some tantrik baba then sends him back 80 years in time. (Ohh how wonderful, bollywood comes up with time travel..but not with the use of some big machine...but some tantrik) Now he tries to prevent the evil teacher from becoming a soul but he doesn't succeed (obviously) and so has to protect the girl, because he has fallen head over heels in love with her (I wonder how anyone could like her voice?) Then follows the drama of the two innocent love birds trying and escaping the evil spirit to reach some other tantrik baba who tells them how they can free the evil spirit to send it back to its right place. There is running and screaming and yelling and destruction and howling and a scary background score which finally ends with the hero returning to his present and the actress being free. (Whoa that was a lot to write)
For the whole story with details..you can read this
If your bored..and are craving for some horror :P this is the movie you want to go to. But, go with a group who will not shy away from passing witty and funny comments. Thats the best part of the movie. The crowd in the theatre was so jovial that I ended up enjoying this movie more than any other comedy movie I have seen. Awesome fun :)
