One of those whodonnit inspired by I Know What You Did Last Summer... did I see race it with Kuch Toh Hain - a flick with similar theme? How-ever a small problem - both of them faltered big time. Reason: Not backed up with adequate storyline to keep the audience glued to seats. And the ending was not at all justified the killing spree.

Must admit however that it was technically good.... shot at great locales..... sound department and cinematography are quite good for Indian standards.

Being Kajol's sis, Tanishaa could have chosen a better movie as a debut vehicle. She does have striking similarity to her sibling sister. Acting wise, none of the younger lot showed any potential.

For starters, this movie had terrific sound effects, camerawork, etc. Tanishaa's debut was not too impressive. However, if you scrutinize her, you can find some glimpses of Kajol. The serial killing just got way out of control and became totally unbelievable. Like Kucch To Hai, person after person was being murdered. The murder sequences were also predictable. Now, the end was completely unpredictable, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. It was one of those endings were it is absolutely impossible to guess the culprit because there was insufficient information. This was a good try at making a movie of a very demanding genre.

This is a fascinating little film to catch. It's an Indian production that imitates every cliche of American mad slasher films of the 1980's. All the cliches are here- a killer, in clown get-up, targeting pretty young college girls. EVERY cliche is here, even down to the bit where our heroine hears a stange noise in her deserted house, and it turns out to be a cat. But, what makes the film interesting are the Indian characteristics. Unlike American genre films set in colleges, the students here are VERY SERIOUS about studying. There is no sex, women are not seen as sex objects (They are seen as second class citizens here.) The biggest culutre shock is the scene at the Indian frat party. The students are thrilled over the only beverage avialable- Pepsi.

yeap, horror from India, or should we say thriller, since the murderscenes are not that explicit like in other movies. However, it is a refreshing thing: though there are still some songs, they are really part of the movie, without disturbing anything in the story.

I definately don't agree with the other comment I read. It is realistic, and the outcome, if you REALLY were watching, was definately predictable. Maybe you will know for 50%, the other half is still a bit surprising, but as long as you don't fall asleep, you will know 'who did it'. It is not an unique story. You will find much alike in other horror movies, but don't we all repeat sometimes?

The only problem I have with this movie is that a big part is filmed in a kind of Swiss village, only inhabited by Indians..... Regualry you have the feeling that you are walking through a 'one-street-only' village, where behind the facade of the houses you will only find empty space.

Anyway, the actors are all doing great, new talents give their best, and all in all, I would say 7 out of 10. Worth watching! nope, not Bollywood horror, but horror from Bollywood.
