12 'O' Clock review :

In the 90s and early 2000s, Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) redefined horror genre in Bollywood with Raat (1992), Bhoot (2003) and Darna Mana Hai (2003). His latest horror offering titled 12 'O' Clock appears like a pale shadow of these super fine films, particularly Raat and Bhoot.

A college kiddo (Krishna Gautam) from a lower middle class family gets possessed by a ghost of a psycho killer who goes on a killing rampage. The hapless father (Makarand Deshpande) seeks help from one and all - doctor (Ali Asgar), tantrik (Ashish Vidyarthi), police (Manav Kaul) and even a top psychiatrist (Mithun Chakraborty) - but all efforts go in vain.

Admittedly, the film has its moments and some scenes like the girl sleep walking around the house and later, the chilling interaction with her parents has the vintage RGV touch. But some clumsy writing and a highly unsatisfactory climax kills the film completely. The solution given to cure the possessed girl is in very bad taste and will send a wrong message to the society, particularly the superstitious folks. Wonder how a noted director like RGV could even think of ending his film with such tripe!!

Of the cast, Krishna Gautam reminds us of the wonderful Revathi from Raat. Here is an actor to watch out for. Mithun Chakraborty has a small role but leaves a mighty impression. Makarand Deshpande aka Mak is convincing as the hapless paapa. Ashish Vidyarthi overacts in the two scenes he gets. Manav Kaul is earnest as the inspector. And yea, why is the oh so lovely Flora Saini wasted in such an inconsequential role. RGV hasnt utilised her at all. Or has he already planned a sequel which will be entirely based on her character. Well, time will tell!!

Not good movie to watch for especially the buri aatma character the movie is dull with no storyline but waste of time the characters are weaky.

Worst screenplay, worst story line , worst acting. Its a torture for the viewers. Don't waste time and money. Better you can watch any other movie. Bollywood don't know how to make horror movies. Nonsense movie

One of the most worst movie that i had never seen in my whole life.. Dont watch it dont waste your time.... In movie there is no horror.. Such a stupid movie.. Drama has also not done properly..i waisted my time watching this movie..

Just like any RGV movie (except RGV's foray into porn direction); the premise starts with a boom and ends with dust! A spirit so strong that can control other spirits, then it doesn't even need a body to continue on its killing spree... the script is not ambitious at all!

A psychopathic killer is shot dead by the cops. But he just refuses to die. His aatma wants to carry on with the act of killing random people. So he enters the body of a college girl and the mayhem continues. The only way to stop the buri aatma is to kill the innocent girl. There was enough scope to create a petrifying, psychological thriller, but this never happens. Performances r decent. Music by MM Keeravani is worth a mention. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. #12OClock rating 2/5.

RGV recently not much grip on horror type movie, all story loose it. Worst horror movie, no storyline, no plotting, no script. Why RGV makin this movie? I don't know. Only sometimes new comer actress Krishna Gautam acting was good. But miserably script is poor.

This movie is so bad..with bad direction and screenplay!!! The acting of the dad is worst than ever!!!! Don't watch it!!

Thanks to Ram Gopal Varma for bringing such a Unique, Logical & Fresh content with this film.

The practical presentation of spiritual concept, non traditional supernatural incidents and their consequences make this film apart from other regular horror movies.

It needs understanding.

Horrible movie and story, with even worse direction. What a waste of time. I am surprised how some of the top actors agreed to work in this...rgv is still living in the past and has lost touch over the changing tastes of audiences.

I regret every minute spent watching this disaster of a horror film. It fails on every level-bad acting, a predictable plot, and laughable jump scares that wouldn't even startle a child. The cinematography is uninspired, and the eerie atmosphere that defines true horror is completely absent.

Compared to the classics by Ram Gopal Verma, this movie is a joke. His films had tension, gripping narratives, and genuinely terrifying moments. This, on the other hand, feels like a cheap knockoff with no sense of direction. The scares are either nonexistent or so over-the-top that they become unintentionally comedic.

The characters are paper-thin, making it impossible to care about their fates. The dialogue is forced, making the cast's performances even worse. Not to mention the pacing-slow when it shouldn't be, rushed when it should build suspense.

The biggest crime this movie commits is insulting horror fans. It lacks originality and fails to deliver even a single memorable moment. I kept hoping for a redeeming twist, but all I got was disappointment.

If you value your time, skip this mess. Instead, rewatch Ram Gopal Verma's classics like Raat or Bhoot-films that knew how to create dread and tension. This film, unfortunately, is a masterclass in how not to make horror.

Please if you have any brain don't try to use it in this movie.

Worst acting from decent actors, worst script, worst storyline execution. Too boring with no twists. Felt the movie is made just to add number of movies directed under his belt and no other thoughts.

Makrand over acting was not expected and worst. Story line is too stretched and slow moving. Unnecessary abusive words. Bad cinematography with wide lens. Disappointed -----------------------

RGV is getting inspired from YT cheap grade horror flicks I guess. Writing this much is actually more for me for a time waster movie like this one.

For a movie that claims to be a horror film, 12 'O' Clock has almost no genuinely scary moments. The supernatural elements are poorly executed, the exorcism scenes are ridiculous, and there is no psychological depth. Instead of making the audience feel uneasy, the film makes them laugh at its absurdity

12 'O' Clock is a complete failure in every aspect-storytelling, direction, performances, and horror elements. It's painfully slow, filled with bad acting, and doesn't offer even a single memorable scare. Ram Gopal Varma, once a master of horror, proves that he has lost his touch.

This movie is not worth watching, even for die-hard horror fans. If you value your time, skip this disaster and watch something else.

Final Rating: 1/5 - A pathetic excuse for a horror film.

All actors acted well except for the actress who played gauri. Shes stiff and not expressive. A seasoned or theatre actress would hv made a lot of difference. Mithun, makrand, ashish & manav kaul in a minor role were superb. I still believe that this was better than some of his older horror films. Watch it if you like horror. Dont have high expectations.
