Please don't spend money on this.
An action-packed slog
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreI 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 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.
View MoreIt is awesome, to hell with all those who wrote tripe about this movie it was slow to start with but later on picked up and it is first time in Hindi cinema that the main protagonist dies and evil doesn't lose but is subdued and i feel that is the best part as it doesn't show any fake views but reality that evil cannot be destroyed so cheers RGV for making something new with your new golden boy Mr.Milan Ghadekar. Also i must say that barring 1920 in recent times no horror movie in Indian cinema has shown gore .Also must mention 13b which is also a great movie. With regards to Phoonk2 the camera-work and the shocks are the best i felt scared and i am sure very confidently that without consuming alcohol no one can watch this movie in the hall alone.
