Krishna Cottage

A group of dumb adults, old enough to have graduated at least 10 years ago, are still in college. Understandable as far as Sohail Khan is concerned. Suffered too many year-downs maybe. Anita Hasanandani speaks in a manner proving she's still suffering from hangover of her soap operas while the rest of the troupe rather than murdering her just keep listening. Enter Isha Koppikar as a demonic spirit, admitted to the college in mid session, maybe has a few backlogs to clear from her past incarnation. Wherever a mysterious book goes, it spells doom, be it for its transport be it for its reader. It can very well be assumed the book is actually the movie's script. Despite being multi-talented, years of sabbatical have forced poor Rati Agnihotri to work as a call centre between spirits and humans, some of the dead might've surely complained why Sohail Khan took acting.

Key takeaways from the movie: Anita Hasanandani should attend a speech therapist, Isha Koppikar no matter how brain dead should refrain from ever playing the dead again and Sohail Khan should visit the lavatory before facing the camera or perhaps accept roles where he's to play deaf, dumb and mute combined, it'll be tough but he can try for audience sake.

Recently, I revisited Krishna Cottage, a film I watched many times during my childhood. Back then, I found it mysterious and slightly scary - especially because of the horror scenes I often skipped. It held a strange charm for me, and I think that nostalgic connection is what made me want to see it again after all these years.

The film begins with an interesting concept - the idea of the "nine and a half stories." That part still feels fresh and intriguing, and it pulled me in right away. But sadly, after that promising start, the movie slowly starts to lose its grip. As the story unfolds, it becomes quite dull and predictable. I found myself feeling bored and disconnected from the plot.

The background score doesn't add much to the mood, and most of the soundtrack is forgettable. Only the last song stood out to me - it's well-composed and works nicely in the context. When it comes to the performances, most of the cast delivers very average work. No one really leaves a strong impression, except Isha Koppikar. I'm not sure if it's her acting or just her screen presence, but she seemed more convincing than the rest.

Overall, Krishna Cottage is an average film with a few interesting ideas that aren't developed well. The atmosphere, music, and acting don't do enough to lift the story. Still, there's something about it - maybe the nostalgic value - that makes me feel connected to it. I wouldn't call it a good film, but if it airs on TV again, I might still watch it, not for the quality, but for the memories attached to it.

Worth watching. Some very scary moments and story will compell you to think about the characters even after movie ends. Suna Suna song is like a cherry on the cake, one of the cult song with its own loyal fan base.

I liked the "Bindas" song. Sohail Khan and Natassha had good chemistry. Sohail's character was sensitive to Isha's character another plus point regarding the film. Overall the film was good and I like the TV serials of the production company (Koi Apna Sa was my favorite on ZEE, although I never had a opportunity to watch every single episode!)

The promos of "Aryan" look good. Sneha is definitely a new face to watch out for...I still have to watch "Lucky". From the advertising of "Aryan" she has potential and can play a teenager which most actresses cannot. Aryan is another summer movie I am looking forward to besides the "DaVinci Code".

Getting back to this picture, my favorite memory is the "Bindas" song, a very catchy, hummable sing-along-with type tune. Everyone should watch the movie and enjoy the fun filled song.

The acting is good considering most of the actors are young. Rati is a fantastic actress, I remember watching her films as a young girl. I am glad she is back!

I am partial to thrillers...most of the Hollywood movies I like watching are of the suspense/horror/psychological thriller variety. I have so much catching up to do as far as Hindi films are concerned. I need to make a list and stick to it. So many foreign movies, so little time.

It's a good movie, worth watching. Like many other ghost stories, this movie also starts with a group of friends travel late night and happens to halt in a haunted building. But no killing takes place there. The group of friends continue their life happily until they come across a book which turns their life.
