Movie: Pizza Rating: 4/5I generally don't watch horror films at all. But I had been excited for Pizza, a remake of the Tamil super hit Pizza. I had known that I might have some horror and all I needed was to watch it whenever it comes on TV, since the film originally was given A certificate, while for TV, it was recertified U/A. I sat to watch this film in HD. Believe me, I loved it and fully enjoyed watching it!Pizza is a sure shot entertainer and a treat for thrill lovers. The storyline is pretty good and there is no single dull moment. Coming to performances, Akshay Oberoi is quite impressive as Kunal. His performance steals the show at various places. Others were also good. Talking about the screenplay, its quite gripping and is an edge of the seat thriller. You would surely love this tasty Pizza and would wish for more, just like me. I haven't seen the Tamil original, so I can't compare between both the films. But I would have to say that the Hindi Pizza has done a full justice to the story written by Karthik Subbaraj, the director of the Tamil original. Nevertheless, I will watch the original version soon.On the whole, Pizza is a very delightful, crisp and entertaining film, that would entertain till you finish eating the last piece, and even after you eat it. In other words, this is a truly awesome pizza!

I enjoyed this film immensely. Indeed, it is shoulders high over current films like Creature 3D. One can say that this film has put a new sub-genre to the horror film. I can just say that if you've seen many horror films in your life and are often accurate at foretelling or predicting the end of the film, you are in for the surprise of your life.Even I couldn't see the ending coming. Though I shouldn't be amazed if they make a sequel to this film.The casting and acting is excellent, the script is smooth and polished. The newbie cast performs much better than older much experienced Bollywood actors/actresses which is a bonus. The sound effects and special effects enhance the film. I think this film will gain a cult-status and be proudly placed with the older Bollywood horror films.Plot: Kunal(Akshay Oberoi)is a pizza delivery boy who lives with his girlfriend Nikita(Parvathy Omanakuttan). She is an aspiring novelist and is researching for writing a horror story, whereas Kunal does not believe in supernatural powers, and is afraid of anything supernatural. Nikita, keeps telling him that he would soon realize the presence of supernatural beings. At first, Kunal is confused and scared, and his fears are confirmed when he comes to know his boss, i.e., the Pizza restaurant owner's wife is possessed by a spirit. Meanwhile, Nikita becomes pregnant, and after a brief altercation, Kunal And Nikita get covertly married. One particular day, Kunal goes out to deliver a pizza to a customer and returns to the restaurant in a state of shock while covered in blood; he is apparently injured, keeps constantly muttering Nikita's name, and seems to be worried about her. When his boss questions him, Kunal explains that he had been to deliver a pizza to a customer in a bungalow and recounts the events that happened at the bungalow.See this superb film and find out what happens next...Other Hindi Horror films: Raat(1992 Cult film), Ramsay Brothers Films: Tahkhana, Veerana, Purana Mandir, Purani Haveli, Bandh Darwaza.

Most of the horror aficionados would agree to the fact that this genre has still an untapped potential in Bollywood. In Pizza, which is the official remake of the Tamil eponymous thriller, first time director Akshay Akkineni attempts something fresh by departing away from the conventional tropes that you find in regular horror stories which makes you scream, ending up in despair .Pizza tells the story of a delivery boy , Kunal ( Akshay Oberoi) working for a local pizza joint who is constantly cautioned by his girlfriend- turned-wife, Nikki(Parvati Omnakuttan) a struggling horror novelist that he is soon gonna have a spooky encounter. Wearing a perpetual gloomy expression on his face, Kunal is not quite happy in his life as his aspirations are higher and with the kind of income, he can barely sustain the financial overload. And as his ordeal would have it , the home delivery at a pregnant woman's place lands him amidst the spirits – Kunal is trapped inside the haunted bungalow , and with a mere torch light to guide him through , he tries each possible way to escape!Relying on the efficient shock value and eerie atmospherics, Akkineni makes Pizza consistently watchable. As the narrative progresses and pizza slices get bafflingly consumed by the unknown forces , you get more and more involved with its underlying tension without finger- plugging your ears or closing your eyes. The writing is tight here and if you consider the technical aspects, the 3D effects work in the film's favor.The film devotes most of its screening time to the protagonist 's struggle to break free from the entrapment and Akshay Oberoi does holds your attention with his one-man show until the shocking and amusing twist in the closing stages. Apart from a sweet mobile ring-tone which works as an ode to the 60's noir cinema, Akkineni employs good inserts of unintentional humor for relief; Sample this – in a fit of paranoia, one character screams at the ghosts , " Chupp kar kyun baitha hai, saamne aao Darpok !!"Acting as the delectable topping to the crust, the supporting cast is quite effective. Rajesh Sharma as the superstitious and stingy owner of the joint, Hussain Dalal and D Santosh as Kunal's friends are endearing as ever. Parvati is competent and has a natural flair and perkiness. Cast as Mrs. and Mr. Ghost respectively , Deepanita and Arunodaya suffer from the deficiency of scope and make-up. On the whole, if you are game for a horror fiesta, then you must relish this Pizza. It's not great or path-breaking , but you will love it.
