Haunted - 3D

Haunted is a spine chilling 3-D extravaganza offered by Vikram Bhatt.The director has created another enjoyable horror flick after movies like raaz,1920 etc and has an excellent combination of horror and technical perfection.The movie does entertain the viewers,but the storyline is seen many a time before and may result in a less critical acclaim for it.The 2.15 hour long movie is a visual treat for the mass viewers who look for entertainment and not recommended for the critics who look for story inside the story and so.

Synopsis::Rehan,a real-estate broker comes to sell an haunted mansion which has a sympathetic story behind it and tries to unlock the mystery there.

Performances::Mahakshay Chakraborthy(earlier Mimoh Chakraborthy) has certainly grown up in his acting skills from his debut movie Jimmy,but can improve more.Tia Bajpai(Sa re ga ma pa challenge fame) has done her role with full commitment and requires appreciation.Arif Zakaria does another good job as he have always done before.

Music by Chirantan Bhatt is absolutely brilliant and amazing(my personal favorite album of 2011) and the songs are really soothing to the ears.All the songs ranging from a hearty ""Tum ho mera pyar " by K.K to an ear-haunting Sau baras by Tia Bajpai are excellently crafted and deserves a 9/10.

Some +ves::An excellent background score and hummable music.*The entertaining Full-3d effects,which is a novel experience for Indian viewers,who could witness it only in Avatar before.*Some good horror scenes,which make you jump off the seats.*Cinematography by Praveen Bhatt which is catchy for the eyes of the viewers.

Some -ves::The similarity of plot to films like Hawa.*The lengthy narration of the movie.*Some scenes in the first half, which are too graphic.

Verdict::Haunted is a visual treat for the mass viewers,who goes to the cinema hall to get entertainment only.The plot may be old and seen before,but is sure to scare you and is paisa vasool.

Ma Rating::8/10

I'm not gonna lie...but I had little expectation from this movie...the actors were all new and the story looked similar to that of 1920 and movies of the (EXORCISM) theme... The movie was quite good....actually better than 1920 ....the acting could have been better(specially female lead(Mira)) but I understand ,all the actors were new and it was a job well done at last. The movie had some scares and amazing scenes ...but the best part of the movie was a beautiful love story amidst a disturbing horror tale.In fact, the strength and dominance of the love story overshadows the horror element at some occasions.This movie however, didn't forget to add a little Indian touch to it despite the fact that the director tried to make it look pretty Americanised.If 1920 was a classy horror movie....this was maybe classier and the 3D did nothing but adding positives to the movie. The soundtracks were awesome and the cinematography was classy like 1920. horror element-7/10 acting-5/10 script-8/10 direction-6/10 soundtrack-7/10 IN short, don't miss it...:)

Another Vikram Bhatt magic horror Flick after 1920,Shaapit & Raaz.

But the surprising thing is Mimoh (Mithun's son)'s acting.The girl also acted well and the ghost also acted well.

Some potion of movie(mainly makeup and horror activities) is inspired from Exorcist(which is common for every horror movie).But its not a bad thing..Because Exorcist is the benchmark.

The story is interesting.A ghost can not safe herself from another ghost.

Music is good.Direction is top notch.Camera work is also good.

Now waiting 4 Vikram Bhatt'r next horror Flick-Raaz 3 :D

My rating for this movie 9/10

Must watch this movie

First of all if you've seen earlier Vikram Bhatt's flicks and you liked it, you will like it as well. The story remains almost on the same theme as earlier but this times it come with the 3d effect. The movie visually is very appealing with all the make ups and effects. It lacks on the verge on sound effects. Being the first stereoscopic horror movie it achieves it and manages to thrill the audience. It has some scary moments and the 3d effect enhances them on a vast scale. The romantic side is well stuffed in. The 3d effects are commendable. Overall I would recommend at least one watch for the great effort. If you love the horror genre you would like it.

It is a nice attempt by Vikram Bhatt. Good acting skills shown by lead actors. Story is different from regular horror movies and no beating about the bush is there. The central part of the movie is the emotion and pain of the actress. Thats is heard superbly in the track 'Sau baras guzre'. There aren't any superb extremely scary horror scenes. I feel the emotional part of the movie took over the horror part and scenes are loaded with emotions, if watched in true sense of a movie without any prior expectations related to the element of scare or horror. Overall, its a one-time watch movie. Enjoy India's first stereoscopic 3D horror flick. This is my personal opinion about the movie. NOM to anyone.
