Shaapit: The Cursed

Shaapit is worth a watch.

The good- Great songs, Good concept, good acting,especially by Rahul Dev,no vulgarity, quite a few thrills.

The bad-1 item song( something which should never be used in horror movies as it can spoil the essence of that genre), some silly scenes, amateurish acting on the part of some of the cast.

But like Phoonk 2 it should be watched ideally on the big screen else you may not appreciate the effect.

Surprising this was a flop. Donno what people expect. However it's much better than olden day horrors,that's for sure.

Shaapit is not a bad movie idk what the audienecs want. The story is nice acting okay and direction fantastic. The atmosphere is spooky and unsettling. The execution is fine. But the way The King is portrayed is not very nice. The item song ruins it. The ending is childish. They did not give any time to design the ghost properly. But whatever when u warch the film u enjoy and u dont feel like u wasted 2 hrs. U enjoy it. I like it. Not a bad film. Worth watching one time. Surprised to know it was a flop.

Just saw this movie, couldn't help myself to write the review. Well I was tempted to see this movie as I liked some the Vikram Bhatt movies, but this was totally out his league (inversely). Well the plot building was pretty good. But somewhere in the middle he lost it.

Initially the reason for the curse was something and in the end it changed to something else. Then I thought the Kaya was from the royal family, so I couldn't reason why Aman would not be able to manage a free ticket to the palace. Then if the spirit was suppose to be so strong why would it possess the professor's body. So ultimately the plot was a waste.

But the direction again was awesome. The set was good. So was the environment and the music. And even the spirit was pretty impressive. But what with the crawling on the wall. So ultimately the rating from me would so-so.

PS: Here comes Aditya Narayan, pretty impressive, watch out for him. He is a talented actor.

Shaapit was my first horror movie seen in a theater. and believe me, it justified the price paid for the ticket. Most of the theater was empty which added to the atmosphere. It may not be the best Vikram Bhatt horror flick but still has some good jump scares. I consider Vikram's Raaz as one of the best bollywood horror films.

the positives: spooky atmosphere, great story setting and build-up, a good mix of science, mythology and history, melodious music, some scary effects & BGM considering it was a low-budget film

the negatives: the cast was new except Rahul Dev so acting was a bit hit-n-miss, Aditya Narayan looked a little childish for the the part of hero but his efforts are worth appreciating, the CGI effects on ghost's design were cheesy

On the whole, a very entertaining fare from Bollywood horror veteran Vikram Bhatt

Okay if u are a fan of horror and have seen the both Raaz movies, you will enjoy this one. The only problem I saw was that they used a lot of graphics and they were really cheesy. But the sounds effects were really good and the places were really spooky looking. The concept was nice but it wasn't at the level of the first RAAZ. In fact a lot of scenarios were taken from the the first RAAZ. If only they had better CGI technology, this would've easily become more scarier than the first RAAZ.

Aditya Narayan was quite decent being it's his first movie, he didn't overdo his acting anywhere. And offcourse Rahul Dev was just as good as he usually is. It was interesting to see him not playing a negative role for once.

Overall if u have time to waste, and ur alone and in a mood for something in horror, this will get u where u need to go!
