I first saw Phoonk 2 years ago,felt it was OK;maybe not as scary as supposed to be.But me and bro were curious to watch the sequel, so watch we did on the BIG SCREEN,and by jove!It really was scary.The story is about Madhu(Ashwini) who returns from the grave to take revenge on Rajiv(Sudeep) and all his loved ones.I don't think it's a huge budget movie-only a small star cast,one can see that not much has been spent.The film moves on a very spooky note,unlike Phoonk. And one point worth noting is that NOTHING HAS BEEN COPIED FROM THE WEST,like many horrors in India do.And the climax keeps one waiting to watch a Phoonk 3. But the film is actually illogical. The makers have simply tried to make something scary. There's so much of unexplained and illogical stuff. Watch it if you want horror.Best seen on the big screen.
... View MoreI really don't know where to start. This seems to be one confusing ghost! One moment, she doesn't need to use a body to kill people, at other moments entering into more than one body(even if it's a doll) is not enough to kill! And no clear answer as to what happens to this lady spirit at the end. Lot of scenes in the movie either defy logic or sense.The only redeeming aspect is Amruta Khanvilkar as actor Sudeep's wife and Ahsaas Channa as Sudeep's daughter. Both brought life to their performances. Even Sudeep does a decent job. There's no point talking about the rest as it doesn't matter anyway.Verdict: If released, Phoonk 3 should say - Phoonk 2 retold, with answers!
... View MoreBy any standards Phoonk-I was no great milestone so I wondered what was the intent behind the sequel. Maybe the writer potentially can translate it better on screen and set a new benchmark. Sadly the reality speaks a different lingo. Major part of the movie is akin to waiting lounge. Twiddling thumbs. Admist the the eerie camera movement and spooky sound effects you await for the plot to get going. Sadly the snail twitches after a point when the audience has totally lost interest. Very similar to dilly-dallying a candy with a kid and offering it when he doesn't want any more. Owing to the failed engine, the performances of everyone gets awashed. Agreed that RGV believes in taking risks and providing platform to newcomers. But with Phoonk-II one can only advise that he should drop his entire team like hot potatoes and start afresh. And please leave the horror genre alone.
... View MoreIts absolute nonsense. Have a Ghost who kills everyone. No one even fights with it. No Tantra mantra nothing. Tantrik says "Take your daughter and run away, and hope that the ghost never finds you, there is no solution to this". This is Dumb, while they are running, wont the ghost know? LOL Also, end is the worst, you always hope, something should happen, but nothing happens. The ghost is in his wife, she is so powerful, but somehow slips from rooftop, falls down and dies? Along with her the ghost also dies? Give me a break.This movie is a Waste of time. Use it better by sleeping. It is not that it is badly directed, there is nothing new to be shown. Also a lot of scenes in movie don't make sense. They just show some weird angle to make you scare, but nothing happens.
