It is a performances centric movie
Did you people see the same film I saw?
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreI voted just two stars, just for Sunny Leone who happens to be the best thing about this movie. This is a horrex movie about shooting a horrex movie. Actually it is not a movie at all. It is just selling Sunny Leone in Indian market. You can look at the main actors of the movie and can say right about then that they have never acted in their life before apart from Divya Dutta( I don't know why she chose to do this movie). As many of us already know, Bollywood just copies Hollywood movies(almost all) scene-to-scene, and take credit for it and does award functions and share awards with each other( for best direction, scriptwriter and cinematographer etc. Can you believe this audacity?) and make real good money by doing it. You can just imagine about this mentality. And, even after that they somehow screw the movie. They can't even copy a Hollywood movie properly. So, basically you know this "movie" will suck and if you choose to pay and watch it you are surely going in for Sunny Leone.(Yes, why watch her naked for free when you can pay to watch her in clothes? Right?)I just took some time out to slam this movie because I love cinema and hate rich people who want to screw it. I really want Hindi cinema to improve and so I am helping in my own small way by writing this review on IMDb to discourage such waste of money and the initiative of many directors in Hindi cinema who want the audience to look someplace else for real entertainment.Thank you.
View More'Ragini MMS - 2' A bone chillingly scary horror flick mashed with sensuous erotic masala that you won't forget any sooner! It is all about combining horror and sex into an ultimate package that evokes emotions of excitement, both erotic and that of horror. The scenes are so well planned, conceived and executed that this film indeed becomes worth a watch, along with its characteristic erotica, which is one more reason why you may love to watch it so badly. Performances by lead roles are impressive which certainly prove as an inseparable asset for the film. If the director would have kept some unwanted 'Bollywood-ish' stuff and trite jokes away from the film, it would have been much better.Though music is not much part of the film, the song 'Baby Doll' is the grooviest and also a bit teasingly sexy number in the film, which actually carries the mark of the film's identity.'Maine Khud Ko' and 'Char Bottle Vodka' are just cursory songs in the film but still do well, but definitely not as much as 'Baby Doll'. The Screenplay works, but its more erotic than terrifying. Bhushan Patel's Direction is atmospheric. Cinematography is average. Editing is fine. Art Design & Make-Up, are superb. Songs are peppy.
View MoreMaking a good horror movie is a tough job. Modern day digitally connected, and increasingly rational audience is notoriously demanding fresh takes at traditional horror concepts. This is also leading to fusion of genres. Ragini MMS2 is one such genre mix- horror and sex. I know Balaji Telefilms has taken it upon them to be "bold" but a movie such as this starring a porn star in and as a porn star is questionable. The original Ragini MMS had some amount of originality- a couple unknowingly going to a haunted house to shoot a MMS and becoming the target of an evil spirit. In a recent interview, Sunny is quoted to have said that directors approach her with scripts just to find a reason to meet her. Parvin Dabas plays one such sleazy director, who comes up with this brilliant idea of shooting a movie based on the plot of the first movie, at the same spooky house. He also wants real actors, not big stars and strangely so, he selects the one actor who has made a career out of faking it, as the lead. Rest of the plot is a lift from the recently released The Conjuring- creaky house, an angry poltergeist, possession, levitating chairs, missing children, human sacrifice, a tree hanging, the spirit embodied in an object from the past- all is been there done that category.It is a known fact that clothes and Sunny do not like each other. So much to the satisfaction of front row whistle blowers, all throughout the movie, she features in various stages of undress. At one point, Sunny says that she wants to research for her role. To which the director pulls out an epic quote- "Porno se Rituporno kab ban gayi". In many ways, this statement sums up Sunny's real life quest for respect in the acting world. But can the audience ever stop objectifying her? Surely, not when she is thrusting out her assets at the slightest instance, and indulging in sex in the lake, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and in the rain.And surprisingly though, she acts pretty well, especially considering how insipidly written the other characters are. Director Bhushan Patel ensures that decent actors like Sandhya Mridul, Dabas, and Divya Dutta come out unintentionally funny. Divya Dutta is an incredible character in herself- she is a psychiatrist who moonlights as an exorcist! The crazy cinematography has ghosts appearing in almost every alternate frame, but with no sense of drama and hence leaves little impact. Even her porn movies have seen better direction. So ultimately you only get to do the guy thing and admire Leone's body. So there it is- baby doll and bottles of vodkas notwithstanding, Ragini MM2 is generic horror, devoid of logic and scares, it is little more than an uninhibited skin show. But maybe that's something deep down in our hearts we actually wanted- 4/10
View MoreThe movie aspires to be "Horrex" (combination of horror and sex). There is even a dialog in the movie stating this aspiration. However, it fails to deliver either horror or sex.I like Karenjit Kaur Vohra AKA Sunny Leone but not the kind of porn she does. You know, screaming, making faces, fake demeanor and all that. Had started to watch one of her porn movies out of curiosity but stopped it midway. But most other men like it. If you are one of those, chances are that you may feel a bit titillated in some scenes. There's even kiss shot between her and Sandhya Mridul as a mock-up of her lesbian porn-scenes. However, after having watched her hardcore porn, these 2-3 abrupt, censored, scaled-down-on-sexuality, fit-for-mainstream-movie scenes may not satiate you like you expect to.The horror part is ludicrous, to say the least. The kind of horror nuggets you've been watching in movies since the beginning of time have been very badly mashed up. Mashed up with deafening sound in the background. The makers thought the louder and the more jarring the sound, the more scared the audience would be. Stupid thought.As usual, Sunny Leone has played herself - porn-star turned mainstream actress. Even her name is Sunny Leone in the movie. In one scene, she even tries to justify her porn career by spoofing a porn act. I would like to see her in hot, glamorous roles indeed but not playing a porn-star. Enough of it.Saahil Prem tries hard to look the macho, silent type. Ends up looking and acting constipated.Divya Dutta didn't have much to perform.Everyone else, who had some "comedy" to do, overacts; be it Parvin Dabas or Karan Mehra or Sandhya Mridul. I don't blame it on them, I blame it on the director who must have asked it from them to make them look funny. Most of the time, they look irritating instead. Sandhya Mridul is one of the finest actresses and she did act really well, given the scope and the director. Plus she looks sexy at 45 playing a young actress! Kudos!Just like the first part, there is mispronounced and incomplete Hanuman Chaalisa that runs with the titles. And to drive away the evil spirit, Divya Dutta recites a sacred stotra very improperly and the evil spirit is shown mimicking it in a ridiculing way. Being a Hindu and a Hanuman devotee, I didn't like that. However, I won't demand a ban on the movie or vandalize the theaters. :)If you like Baby Doll song, as I do, and are planning to watch the movie just for it, watch the song on Youtube instead. There are two very slightly different versions there, one little bit bolder than the other.If you want scary entertainment, you can watch a good and real horror movie, if you want sexual thrill, you can watch explicit porn of Sunny Leone. Most people in the movie were there for the "let's see a porn-star do another mainstream movie" amusement-factor. You may watch it for the same reason. There's no other good reason I can think of.
