It was a long time that I watched a Mahes Bhatt production and was the 1st movie featuring Emran Hashmi that I managed to sit through the whole 16 reels. It was a Mohit Suri directed film and though at places it bears a strong resemblance to Hollywood movies especially the 'The Omen', but as a whole the fear factor was clearly very high and Ram Gopal Verma may take a few tips for the making of a horror movie. Specially the use of sound and visual angles deserves quite a round of applause. Though the individual acting is quite ordinary but the effects used to create the horror scene seems to be a success, at least to me. The plot is also very ordinary and I felt that the finishing to be supersimplified and also the tension had been marred at places by some unwanted songs. But this only shows the skill of the director who has created suspense and thrill that makes up for the loose threads and once again a praise for the director and crew for the audio and visual effects seems obvious. As to the detail it has not been taken proper care of as in the scene where the possessed girl creates a furious storm that blows away cars seems to have no effect on the lone watcher.
The main story revolves round a model Nandita, engaged to be married to Yash, an atheist who makes a blockbuster serial fighting against superstitions. Their life was more or less smooth sailing till Nandita was confronted by Prithvi, a freelance painter, who insists her that some evil is to befall her. He tells of his visions of Nandita which he depicts through his painting that reveals some future events portraying sadness and pain in the part of the subject. At first Nandita places a deaf ear to his pleas, but some unnerving incidents and horrific experiences convinces her to the truth in Prithvi's words and she herself gets possessed by a spirit during these events. Meanwhile the movie pans through two curious suicide cases of a priest in a temple in the village of Kalindi and one David Cooper, a CEO of a pesticide firm in the same village. The suicide note, etched out in blood, by the later matches with the shouts utterred by Nandini while possessed. So a mentally distrubed Nandini, assisted by Prithvi sets for Kalindi, much to the disgust of Yash, where the mystery unfolds with some frightful incidents revealing the true identity of some characters and gives the audience some terrifying moments that can be best enjoyed in a hall.
