Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

What makes it different from others?

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

(CONTAINS SPOILERS! PLEASE BE WARNED!)I thought I should not watch this having read critical reviews that rated this movie a -1. But, I wanted to see firsthand just what is so unwatchable in this. EVERYTHING! Right from the beginning to the end, the movie proceeds at a snail's pace, pausing at times to show the Corbett National Park scenery as if it's a National Geographic or Discovery feature. After all, this is what can be expected from Karan Johar. Mindlessness! Now, we know Karan Johar is one lick-lolly in terms of his brain maturity.For instance, certain scenes, like Vishal Malhotra slipping off the jeep stuck on a bridge, to fall in the river and die, look copied from a Hollywood sfx. There's no convincing here. Too, in a scene when the trekkers are resting around a campfire and then fall asleep in tents (or perhaps, inside a guest house?), the camera pans sometime around the scene in partial infrared and the next thing we see is something or someone dragging the poor driver. Just what went on here is totally perplexing and the director gives no clues either.All the 'ghost' point-of-view have been shot badly. Instead of colored infrared with distortion effect, the director should have opted for some aged film b&W noise effect. Or, it could have been monochrome infrared. the ghost point-of-view shots are so distorted that one wonders if it suffers from eye-lens degradation!Almost in all the related scenes, Vivek Oberoi shouts, screams, thunders and overacts his way to make his point, disappointing his fans. Esha Deol can't act. Or, she has made it a point to act the same in all her movies. Lara Dutta is terrified but convincing. So is Kushal Punjabi, to an extent. Vishal Malhotra is a confused character, unnecessary here. Parmeet Sethi looks believable as forest officer. Although some have rated Ajay Devgn's character as bad, after watching this movie quite a few times, especially his role, I could say his essaying 'Kaali' is as powerful as his persona.The one scene worth watching is when three tigers corner the trekkers in their jeep. That one is superbly shot. It's the only time Ajay Devgn makes his entry in his trademark style. So similar across his roles, yet so different in appeal!But all in all, for those who have not watched this movie yet, I'd say DON'T WATCH IT! There are better horror flicks out there to give your valuable time to.

I watched the promos. I didn't really pay much attention to the promos. The first screening and boom, so many videos on youtube. The one of SRK's item song really got me to go and watch the film. I sat through the first 20 - 30 minutes...bored. Then it picks up. The ending is very ironic. This movie is very hyping. My ratings for this movie are 1) Story - 9/10; 2) Direction - 7/10 (The Weaker point); 3) Performances - 8/10; 4) Character Development - 8/10; 5) Overall - 8/10. In my point of view, this movie is nice. If you're not such a big fan of thrillers, then this is not for you to watch because it is...well... it's a thriller.

i don't know how anyone didn't noticed that there is a major goof in the movie which destroys the whole logic. right from the beginning the character of vishal is shooting with his handycam. he also shoots the clip where kali is around with the three tigers. in the end when vivek and john discovers through his handycam that kali is invisible throughout. how come vishal didn't see it while he was shooting? the scriptwriter should have shown some common sense or they think the viewers don't have any? also in the end of the movie the song tauba tauba is shown when one of the characters is dead. it should have been in the starting swapping with the shahrukh song.

I watched the 1st hour and just couldn't take anymore of this torture.Everything abt this movie stinks - Direction, Special Effects, Background score, Cinematography and especially THE ACTING!! Vivek's 'tough guy' act had me cracking up the entire time. "Cut the crap". Who in their right minds would think such a lame line could make anyone look cool or tough? Vivek's delivery only makes it worse. This Srk-wannabe needs to take a lengthy break. All of his performances post-Saathiya have stunk. Who decided to make him the guy with the 'attitude'? He's abt as intimidating as an ant in the 1st half. Can't believe how quickly his career has sunk after such a promising start. Moving on, John Abraham is probably the most expression-less actor I've seen in Bollywood. Should've stuck to modeling. The awkward looking guy who played 'Sajid' was even worse then those two....he talks like a girl. The Mickey Mouse dude('Mambo' from Ishq Vishq) seemed like the only one who could actually act.This sleeping pill deserves a 2/10. .5 each for the three sl*ts(Malaika, Esha & Lara) who did a decent job in the 2 songs. Esha and Lara also weren't too bad for a little comedy(albeit, unintentional comedy). So .5 for those two.
