BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

kcalpesh Its not so scary. A lot of hype was given to this movie because of the contest in which the participant had to view the movie alone in the theater. A strictly one time watch on a DVD.I'm not going to go much into the story as it is simply about a non- believer being haunted by the supernatural and his family.Performances are good. Background Score, Visuals, camera angles etc were supposed to play a major role in a movie which was made to scare the audience. However, all of these were strictly OK.Some Facts Related to the Movie: There was even another contest where participants were supposed to submit their real life experience horror story. This was all on the Phoonk website www.phoonk.in which is now non-existent. However the sad thing about the second contest was that the winners were intimidated over the email but never announced on the website and were also officially never given the price money. I'm one of them.All in all a one time watch movie which doesn't completely fail to impress as a horror movie.

Vaisakh Super I don't know whether it is actually directed by RGV. It lacks the power of a RGV movie.Event though it is not a complete copy of any other movie, some scenes will remind you the Hollywood movies 'The Exorcist' and 'The Fourth kind'. The emotional scenes are a little boring. The basic story idea is good but, they failed in elaborating it properly.Thank God, there is no ghosts in funny make ups like in typical Indian horror movies. It follows the path of J/K horror movies and the appreciation goes to the director. We must also appreciate for selecting a plot like 'black magic' which can be rarely seen in contemporary horror movies . And he also won in telling it in a purely Indian way.

mohommed_r I saw this movie and it seems completely absurd. Some concept taken from Hollywood movie exorcist, while main concept being a girl is under spell of black magic. And finally at the end of movie, Indian black magic women becomes some mutant from Hollywood movie X-men, throwing peoples in air by powers of her hand. This whole concept appears to be ridiculously crazy. To any horror movie fans, an advice, just completely avoid this movie.Even in this modern age, renowned directors like this one makes movies that what we all consider superstitious and that only old and illiterate peoples in India believe. To make it worse, this movie gives justification in stupid way as to why we should believe in "Kaala Jadu" Black Magic. Although, I believe Black magic in scientific way, but this doesn't means all the rubbish beliefs among illiterates have some basis. In one shot the main actor is talking to a guy who cures peoples suffering from possession, He tell him "I don't believe in God" to which that guy gives a weird explanation as to why we should believe in black magic. He starts by telling him if he takes some medicine for headache,why does he believe in that headache pill.For this question our main actor has no answer. I was in complete disbelief while watching this as to how low this movie can go down further.

Liakot Ali I cant believe some people are saying this film was poor, well i guess some people have shite taste. This movie is a little predictable fair enough, but if you are a expert like myself then 90% of movies are predictable. Thats not the point, the point is this film is a little different from other horror movies. It seems like a ghost has possessed the little girl in the film, but you later find out its something else. The subject in this movie is something rarely seen in movies and that is black magic. I personally know consequences of black magic and have seen how dangerous and evil it is. Black magic is no surprise in some parts of asia and many parts of Africa. Most Nigerian African movies are about black magic. Maybe some people don't believe in it, but this film portrays it beautifully. Superb acting and Excellent direction. Great movie for people with good taste.
