Asvins

Chapter 1: The lore told at the beginning was good. And the entire chapter 1 was in found footage format which was really good and entertaining. 7/10

Chapter 2: This chapter had really beautiful cinematography, but was just people talking. 6/10

Chapter 3: This where the movie starts to get mediocre. Cheap jump scares and the interval twist is very mid. But the sound design and bgm was good. 5/10

Chapter 4 and 5: These chapters made me regret watching this film. It starts to get very bad. The budget takes a real hit and it is clearly visible. The climax sequence was very childish and was like a serial. 2/10

Conclusion: This movie had a lot of scope at the beginning, but mediocre acting, amature dialogues, very bad second half made it forget what it was meant to be. You will be disappointed not because it was a bad movie but because it had a lot of potential and lost it on the way.

Sound effect and background music is good. Cinematography is not bad, except the usage of green, pink, violate lights. Acting is at the most average.

Location and venue selection wasn't good, how can you expect a haunted house with a well maintained garden and lawn? Weak and illogical storyline, one statue lost in India, but they need to find both the statues in the UK. Worst possible script writing, in many places incoherent, possibly due to editing. A forced inclusion of the mythological characters of Aswini Kumar duo which could be another Jay and Viru.

It is difficult to sustain the movie beyond the 3rd chapter. The movie has its potential but somehow the film crewmembers succeeded to finish it.

This is a classic example how to spoil good horror story like with over dose of creative ideas. Overall the movies is based on a very good Mythological story. It's the director who executed the idea with no head and tail. 1) No story line - 2) Confused directions 3) worst screenplay 4) Worst Editing

Only good part about the movie is the first 10 minutes , Art, background Music abs cinematography. There are some very good drone shots.

Great team and Great story with worst director = BIG DISASTER!

Don't waste time on this movie by sitting 1 hour 55 minutes. Just watch the first 15-20 minutes of the movie to escape from the mental torture.

Horror films stand out, create impression, leave impact in the audience when they are either intellectually stimulating (La noche del demonio (2010)) or absolutely mistifying (El aro (2002)).

Asvins is neither of the above but tries hard to be at least one of the above. Sure we can see influences of famous horror films (Actividad paranormal (2007)) but nothing can save the lethargic attempt at writing. I heard that the original script is developed from a short film. When you hear it, you think that the movie would have a lot to offer than the short film but it is merely a prolonged (dragged out) explanatory video of the same.

Somewhere in a foreign land, five Indians venture out in a country side to explore a haunted mansion where an archaelogist of Indian origin had seemingly killed all her servants and herself sometime before. They go here in the pursuit of capturing footages to use for the promotion of a black tour but unfortunately, as mentioned above, it is a haunted mansion and they go at night, what could possibly go right?

Only the first 15 minutes is entertaining. Tarun Teja, the director, must have taken his audience for fools, so he makes sure that we understand certain things by repeating what was told before at the start of the film during the entire course of the film through dialogues, characters and mark boards, which was annoying.

The back story should have been enjoyable like in Arundhati (2014) but is bland and often told through drawings. Apart from this, all the main characters are highly 2D like we don't even care about them whether they are dead or alive and it is a horror film, even if all of them are dead, I would not have mind. There was nothing at stake for the main lead to jump into actions.

Through out the whole film, I, along with all the audience who watched it in the theatre was like, meh, whatever.

Since I am fan of horror genre I was eager to watch this movie since it got positive reviews on its release but again like it happened in the past the reviews are totally wrong when you watch the movie. In horror movies music and location plays very important role like the actors if the casting is good. The movie scores in background music and location but actors lets not talk about it and why should they be blamed the real culprit is poor script and the director. The first fifteen minutes you feel the movie will be interesting but as it moves ahead what you get is boredom. Very bad attempt the movie pulls on with no sense you regret why you watched few scenes you find it comical too due to bad acting.three star only for the background music.
