It was great to see that Indian cinema has propelled itself forward to a never seen before standards. The idea was so simple, a movie on witchcraft, a subject that has been ably dealt with before in Makdee, but the director really turns the heat ON here; he smashes all previous records and elevates this one to a whole new level. Yes, my friends, if you miss this you are missing out on a lot; after all this is a movie where 'daayan'-s conveniently name themselves Diana (aaaaaarghhh!), typing the 6th floor button thrice in a lift takes you to hell (eeeeeeeeek!), 'loss of innocence' is as flexible as camera angles (aaaaaaaaaahh!) and best of all, I mean this takes the cake by a mile, the aforementioned 'hell' (jahannum, narak) ruled by Shaitan (Satan) has a brand new brown colored leather sofa!! I have rarely confronted so much lameness in such a short span of time, this film really shows what 'modernization' has done to us and how 'technique' has led to the death of 'logic' in Bollywood. Idiots.

Review : We were invited to the Ek Thi Daayan movie premier. We went to the premier without high expectations, and boy I was surprised! I haven't seen the trailer either. After a great hype on the movie it was a great outcome at the end. Story was very riveting.This film is paced quite slowly but thanks to the originality of the story we're kept interested however this movie could have easily been a bit shorter to quicken things up more. Director could have done a better job, he was inconsistent, the lack of experience in the field of direction was visible.The story was very fascinating. Thanks to the writers, it's not that regular Bhootiya Isshtoorry (story), the plot stands out of them all… The biggest part of a Thriller movie is its Climax and I must say the climax was Baaang-On. I was Flabbergasted to be frank.The plot is unique, in that it relies on imagination and psychology to scare you and make you think twice about the world around you. I genuinely did not know about the ending until it was revealed. Quite a shock!Emraan Hashmi turns in a stellar performance, complimenting his co-stars while never overshadowing them. It is a tribute to his respect of the material in so much as he fine tunes his delivery to seem reserved, yet not too toned down. It is such a relief that the performances of Hashmi and the excellent Kalki live up to an excellently written quality storyline.As for the twist at the end? Well it totally disoriented me, my mind spinning back throughout the whole film.To be honest, the biggest minus of the movie is the director himself, the booooooring second half is completely his fault . He tried to experiment a lot, which was un-called for.Cast Performance : Emraan Hashmi : Undoubtedly, its one of his best works and his performance stands out of all the casts. He is the one who carried the whole movie on his shoulders.Konkona Sen Sharma : Did a fantastic job and was justifiable enough. She did live up to the expectations.Kalki Koechlin : Her part was a bit confusing, her character was a bit messy but she did a splendid job.Huma Qureshi She could have done a better Job….Huma Qureshi : She did a decent job. A mixed performance.Indian Box Office Online Verdict : If you don't mind a slow pace then this unique little gem is very rewarding. At the end of the day, ''Its not that regular Bhootiya Isshtoorry, the plot stands out of them all, it's surely is an Experimental Plot, but not written by an Idiot."

Ek Thi Daayan is not the 'every day horror flick' that Bollywood churns out more than often,courtesy :Vikram Bhatt. Its a story of one of the most feared creatures of Indian mythology with elements of psychological thriller fused together in a way which is scary enough to send down thrills down your spine and intelligent enough to keep you on your toes almost through out the movie.The story is brilliantly narrated through the eyes of a promising storyteller who had the guts to tell a supernatural story with enough creativity that it would leave marks on its viewers in real life:Girls with braids beware,people might come at you with knife in their hands to chop off that lovely three strand structure emanating from your head. :pEk Thi Daayan is a must watch even if you are not a big fan of the genre.Watch it for the sheer creativity and guts of a storyteller who has something new to offer .3.5/5.Pros:Good Script,performances,cinematography,music Cons:The curse of the second half,does not live up to the excitement and fear that it builds till the interval.
