My Thoughts
Anthony (R Madhavan) is murdered in a
haunted villa. Was he killed by the ghost as people believe or is there something
more? This is the storyline. This means there is an element of horror, mystery
and suspense that could be expected. There is also a deaf and muted Anthony’s fiancé
- Shakshi (Anushka Shetty) which opens a gateway for lots of love and emotions.
However, what we get in return is a sloppy screenplay and bored looking
zombie-like actors. There is lot of emotional plotlines, but we simply don’t get
the emotions. There is supposed to be a ghost angle and there are no jump scare
moments, not even eerie or scary moments. The background score takes us to a
trance caused by general boredom and doesn’t exactly keep us at the edge of the
seat. R Madhavan and Anushka Shetty gets a song which is shot as montage with
beautiful backdrop. That’s the only few minutes that looks refreshing. Other
than that, everything seems staged. This is supposed to be bilingual. But people
don’t even lip-sync properly. Even muted Anushka’s robotic voice app had more
emotions than the people who had dubbed for human beings.
In short, this movie opens with a problem
of solving a murder and ends up being a problem altogether!
Having said that, if you already have
Amazon Prime subscription and are generally bored with the current Lockdown
situation, why not watch it? After all, boredom is something we have common
with everyone who had made this movie – we certainly have something to relate
to at a personal level!
