In Ghost House Inn

I was looking for a few laughs when I picked this movie. No matter how hard I looked couldn't find any. Mukesh & Siddiqui were adequate in their roles. Jagdeesh was extremely irritating being overly dim witted and he was supposed to be a dentist. The plot didn't have much to go on while the dialogues not witty at all. I guess the Director decided to cash on the reputation of the Harihar Nagar series so he didn't put much thought to this project. A few scenes copied from "Exorcist" & "The Ring" stole the original feel of the previous movies. At the end I wondered, did I watch a supposed comedy film or a horror movie. Safe to say it failed at both.

I'm puzzled by why some people criticize. This movie is fantastic! The theater was filled with laughter, and everyone stood up with applause at the end of the show. The captivating storyline, brilliant acting, and impeccable direction made it an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. The atmosphere was electric, with each scene evoking a range of emotions from the audience, from uproarious laughter to heartfelt moments. It's clear that this movie has struck a chord with viewers, as discussions continued long after the credits rolled, with people sharing their favorite moments and eagerly anticipating future screenings.

The original Harihar Nagar was a classic and its sequel, 2 Harihar Nagar worked pretty well despite its flaws. But this movie is an exercise in mediocrity, further pushed down to the level of being a below average movie due to its horrible finale. Sure its a twist, but it only exists for twist's sake as it does nothing to the storyline and makes the whole movie lose its authenticity. The actors work well except for Jagadeesh, who after a stupendous performance in the sequel, hams it up with rather unfunny jokes, for which Lal has to shoulder the blame. Ashokan does well in the few serious scenes and Mukesh and Siddique are as reliable as ever. The ladies have nothing much to do although Lakshmi Rai does well in the dance inserted to appeal to the masses. Nedumudi Venu gives an excellent performance but is let down by the script that is not sure whether to be a horror movie or to remain as a comedy ultimately resulting it to be a disappointing movie. I've given worse movies better rating but they haven't disappointed me as much as this did.

The film In Ghost House Inn is a comedy based horror-drama directed by Lal. It is the third film by four Harihar Nagar friends, and it continues the tradition of the prequels.

Thomas Kutty purchased a palace, where already setted for rumours of ghosts and haunted stories. In order to demonstrate that these stories are false, the four friends and their wives took up residence in the palace. They also experienced some disturbing incidents, which prompted them to seek the assistance of a priest. Subsequently, the priest discovered the presence of a ghost in the body of a maid. They all continue to work together to prevent the ghost from manifesting. The director incorporated an evocative twist in the climax, which makes the film engaging.

The film is worthy of recommendation overall. The comedic scenes are an integral part of the narrative and are well executed and entertaining. However, there are instances where the humour falls flat. The performances of the cast are noteworthy. Furthermore, the musical scores were particularly commendable.
