Another horror flick from Vikram Bhatt after the super successful Raaz. The story is the same old formula of a spirit possessing a body of the female who comes to live in the house. There is a story to the spirit doing that and there are cliches galore in the movie.
The heroine Adah Sharma has to look pretty in the 1st half but when she turns into a woman possessed by a spirit, she is in super duper form. The hero is a model and it shows. The music is so-so.
I must say this - I found this movie a wee bit scarier than Phoonk.
Verdict - 2.5/5 - Time pass movie - nothing great. Catch it if you have nothing to do.

Movie Review - Righteous Kill
With Pacino and De Niro, I expected the movie to be a zinger and it was a ho-hum bore. A few witty dialogues here and there and some solid acting by both super stars (expected) - still cannot hold your attention. The plot is quite like a Bollywood pot boiler with a twist in the end that you can see coming from miles.
Verdict - 2/5 - If you miss it no sweat, catch it on HBO / Star.

Movie Review - Hijack
A very poor confused attempt at copying various Hollywood movies dealing with the same theme and not exciting at all.
Verdict - 0.5/5. Bandal, Bakwaas - Don't even look at the poster.

Movie Review - A Wednesday
The police commissioner of Mumbai gets a call on his mobile from a unknown number telling him of bombs that have been planted all over the city and will go off at a stipulated time unless the commissioner does what the caller says. And thus starts a movie that is entirely gripping and thrilling. The police have to find out who this caller is before it's too late. Do they ?
2 of India's finest actors - (Anupam Kher plays the police commissioner and Naseeruddin Shah the caller) - are in simply SUPERB form. And it's an absolute treat to watch both of them. Even the support cast is in fine form - Jimmy Shergill and Aamir bashir as the upright cops are very good. The only sore point is Deepal Shaw as the TV reporter.
The movie delivers a message and does it very nicely as well.
Verdict - 4/5. Do not miss this.
ps - This is the 3rd movie by UTV that has impressed me. Aamir, Mumbai Meri Jaan and now this. Way to go UTV.
