404 is a suspense thriller with a twist in the end that blows your mind. The highpoint of the film lies in the fact that it explores paranormal activity without abandoning science and rationality. And that indeed is a rare achievement.

Following a linear structure, the narrative stays focused right through.The film is a must watch for all 'thriller' fans. And also horror buffs! Don't miss it.

And yet "404" is one of the most terrifying movie experiences in recent times.

Go for 404 with a bottle of patience. It runs for so long that you could start hallucinating whether the movie is real.

404 turns out to be a very different experience . An intelligent concept,well thought of and researched work by Director Prawaal RamanTruly a mind game .

Very unpredictable and you are made to think even after the movie is over. The film is a much watch for people who prefer something different and exciting cinema.

First of all , let me start by saying that I have seen many good to epic movies , but never cared to review them. But only this film inspired me to write my first review.

The whole plot of the movie and the acting of actors is what made me watch the whole movie. The story of the film is really intriguing. I just feel pity for the director that this film will remain little known to the movie lovers.

The movie starts with the protagonist Abhimanyu starting his higher education in a medical college, coming to the hostel. He comes to know of the creepy room 404 where one student(Gaurav) committed suicide. And then some seniors ragging him. Only Abhimanyu is resistant to ragging and he also stays in the room 404(which has been opened after 3 years).The seniors tells him that the boy's(Gaurav) ghost haunts in that room. Then the main story starts when Abhimanyu starts seeing Gaurav, and his teacher tells him that its only in his mind and not real. Is it really in his mind or is it the ghost of Gaurav? Decent horror flick. I will give it a 8/10 for such brave attempt.

Firstly I want to give a standing applaud for the brave and bold experiment in Boolywood by Mr. Director "Praval Raman". Mostly the fate of these movies are pre judged and decided in our country, same happened with 404 too. Not many movie enthusiast even know about this. What a pity! The movie is for every sincere movie lover, for all the Hollybood maniacs who claim Indian film industry having no sense, generates no meaningful movie.

The movie is based on the Psyche of human mind, its vulnerability to so called unexisting objects and ghosts. The movie is plotted in a medical college where freshers are being ragged and a boy named Abhimanyu, kinda stand against it. Also he insists his warden and teacher (Satish Kaushik) to allot him room no. 404 where a student died 3 yrs ago and a rumor was in the air about Ghosts and spirits in the room. In the parallel Prof. Anirudh is immensely impressed with Abhimanyu and working on a thesis on Bipolar Disorder. As movie gradually picks the pace, a series of events unturns and enters a slightly dark mode. Last 15-20 minutes are nail biting as the mystery unfolds.

As a psyche senior Imad Shah and his friends did a decent job. None of the actors is a biggie yet has done a full justice to their characters. Background score is commendable and is fullon successful in creating the aroma of mystery, fear and suspense. Few scenes of ragging like one in the room with red light in the room is surprisingly esthetically shot. Also Ranjan deserves full points in creating the environment of a college, sketching each character with solidity.

Hats off to him for such a brave experiment. Kudos :)

Must say before you read this review, I prefer thrills of minds rather mare eye candy pleasures. I really liked 404 for its build up, twists and turns between person's psychology, academic experiment, ragging setup, bi-polar disorder, haunted room and ghost existence. 404 movie is brilliantly knit together with these different concepts with great timing and sequences. I also liked the shade of movie print and backdrop of college. Though, Rajvir acting was superb but Imad Shah's mischievous look and dimple took major limelight.

English movies like Beautiful Mind, which falls in line, but in Indian context, this is one of few movies where director has taken courage to EXPERIMENT with such deep psychological concepts without casting biggies like Amitab, SRK or Ashwarya. Must watch movie!!!
