Ragini MMS

Brings back memories of dirty weekends, for sure :-) At least that part of the movie seems authentic enough. The protagonists rock for their natural performances. The connection with MMS scandals (net blogs are full of such scandals), isolated farmhouses, spoilt brats on overdose of hormones and sleazy film-makers are genuine. The MNS chudail (ghoul) becomes repetitive, but is scary at times. In short, not a bad deal.

What jars are some of the horror sequences, the director's sudden realization that horror movies should have horrifying effects - and hence a surfeit of effects (sound and visual) at the end. The jarring music jars, and the movie ends, presumably to be continued in a sequel, which will explain some of the loose ends of the prequel. Good marketing strategy.

The house of Balaji Telefilms is not known for quality productions, whether for TV or for cinema. So it is useless to expect a Spielberg or Stephen King masterpiece here. The heroine is top-heavy and sensuous enough.. the hero is sufficiently rough and rugged. Both play their respective roles with aplomb.

If you take the proceedings with a pinch of salt, the movie is not a bad deal. I voted 6/10.

So, after a loooooooooong time, I came out of the theater impressed, entertained and committed to buy the DVD. Ragini MMS thrilled the hell out of me at every junction of its Paranormal Activity-type film-making.

The lead actors are perfect but I don't think they go parallel to what I hear where the true events. The girl is voluptuous, bigdi-baap-ki- bigdi- beti and gullible whereas the guy is a prick! The story is straight and tells us what it intends.

Music is good, so is the direction and the effects. But, the editing and camera work could've been a little more professional. Cut that out, I totally enjoyed the 90 minute-scare!

This is a must watch and very recommendable. I hear Sunny Leone is the lead in its sequel. Although I don;t know the story, I guess she will be all right as the character Ragini because she's got what Kainaz has. Where is the pre-book counter?

WATCH OUT FOR: the message!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Language: Strong | Sex: Mild | Implied Sex: Very Strong | Foreplay: Very Strong | Mouth-Kiss: Very Strong | Alcohol: Strong | Smoking: No | Violence: Strong | Gore: Very Strong | Drugs: No

Although not as impressive as the 'Blair Witch Project' or 'Paranormal Activity' (most of the horror elements have been borrowed from these movies), Ragini MMS still delivers 90 minutes of entertainment. The sexual theme will keep the viewer mildly amused at the beginning and then gradually introduce the scares of the movie. The CGI will not leave you stunned but you definitely won't take your eyes off the screen. Good performances by both the stars and decent direction. This popcorn-flick could have been done much better. Don't watch this movie if you want to be on the edge of you seat because this movie is a little off that mark but it does give a good competition to the rest of the horror flicks in Hindi cinema. Might scare you or may make you hysterical but it will be fun nonetheless.

Enjoy it in the dark.

6/10

To begin with, I am a little disappointed with Ragini MMS in terms of originality. The film has a little resemblance with paranormal activity (as it was seen in movie trailer).However makers have added the Desi spices to the movie by some Indianized dialogues (or say abuses) and strong story and sub-plots.

The genre of the movie is a winner itself.The combination of sex and horror (which was used indirectly in Bhatt's movies is the stream line here). Intentions of the film makers are very clear here.Just two elements horror and sex, no melodrama or Bollywood masala.

Rajpal is very influential on screen.His screen presence and comic timing is bang on!Kainaz has improved a lot after her bubbly role in Wake Up Sid.Explicit scenes are done comfortably by the lead and their chemistry is extra ordinary.

Story is straight without any twists and turns.Screenplay is tight and tangling.Dialouges are surprisingly fresh,witty and sultry.The dialogues (and slang) gives a good flavor to the horror movie.

Background score is a mile stone for horror movies considering the fact that high pitched digital sound and scorching guitars are used for score in an Indian horror movie.

Minus some originality and faulty editing, the movie is the scariest date movie of India till date.

It was only matter of time,before Bollywood get into the found footage genre.

Ragini MMS (2011) Hindi movie, no need for any subs, as most of the times, they speak in English!

Two couple who go to farmhouse and most of time, all they think of is having Sex.

when get into the mood, there friends come, thing start to get scary.

We see the ghost here and there, it is a shame , cause it take the tension away, however there were some scenes, that were actually surprising good.

Near the end, after some descent scenes, it loses it tension again , which makes go down hill.

This is actually Bollywood version Paranormal Activity

4 out of 10 I think worth watching for least once! (Just for laugh).
