Ragini MMS 2

A new horror movie having 30-40% occupancy in its first early morning show once again strengthened my strong belief that Indian filmgoers are always ready for a good spooky movie without any doubt. However on the other side, the sad fact remains that 8 out of 10 times, they mostly feel like fools walking out of the theater after watching these badly made films in the name of horror, trying to earn some quick bucks through a cunningly planned promotional campaign.

Following the same intentions, here is RAGINI MMS 2 ready to make a fool out of the viewers once again, with the western porn star Sunny Leone promising you the glimpses of something which you must have already seen in its complete form earlier. And when a clever production house signs a famous, gorgeous girl who has no hesitation to bare it all in front of the camera for a Hindi horror film then there is no better recipe to make such a project, especially for our 'sex-starved' Indian market and that too with two hit party tracks working as a perfect icing on the cake ensuring its safe run.

Hence telling you the truth, RAGINI MMS 2 is not any so called horror film or a sequel at all. Instead it's just a specially written and designed project (with no script as such), simply aiming at giving all its male audience a kind of 'mental sexual pleasure' in that dark ambiance of the theater & nothing else. En-cashing the buzz around their earlier hit RAGINI MMS (2011), the famous production house vaguely takes the story forward and then conceives the whole project just like 'a soft-porn' made in the name of horror.

The so called sequel revolves around a movie shoot happening in the same haunted house of its first part. But in reality its every single scene has been written to use or exploit the 'all willing star', Sunny Leone in the best possible manner on the screen. To give you a fair idea of its story progression, after a good scary sequence right in the opening, we have the 'Babydoll' song and then the director straight away shows Sunny undressing in her green room, being watched by the (in-film) director openly. Next she does a detailed moaning scene as if involved in a sex act in front of the whole unit to prove her acting skills followed by a long, bold bathroom sequence where even blurring effect has been used to hide her visible assets. A lesbian act involving Sandhya Mridul is thrown in without any purpose post the interval and then Sunny takes off all her clothes deep inside a lake seducing a lusty man to jump inside. After all these deliberately inserted suggestive scenes the director returns back to his basic theme of horror in the last 15 minutes, exactly like a clean-up activity required post the dirty act. And that is all what the film has got to offer in its 2 hours of duration.

Along with the sexual content, RMMS2 also features few cheap double meaning dialogues keeping everything focusing at the sex element alone. Plus we have some foreign film references too as usual, like the two little girls reminding you of A TALE OF TWO SISTERS (2003) right away. In the performances, Sunny Leone perfectly knows why she is being signed by these Bollywood producers eagerly and she daringly delivers what is expected from her too with a visible ease. The girl has an expressive body language and speaking eyes but her well known background doesn't let you think of her as an actor even for a minute to put it honestly. Still it seems she is really trying hard to learn the basics of this art-form fast and may achieve what she wishes to in the near future.

The supporting cast has many over the top acts, repeatedly giving you an indication of the project being nothing but a quickly made, sexy marketing product to gain some quick profits. And it is really weird to see actors like Parveen Dabbas, Sandhya Mridul& Karan Mehra playing it so loud, forcefully in their respective roles. On the other hand, Saahil Prem at least plays it decently as required, Divya Dutta remains wasted in her short role as the ultimate savior but watching Anita Hasanandani in such a silly role was nothing short of a shock as I strongly felt. In fact this simply tells you a truth, that how a powerful production house can make or break the career of aspiring actors so cruelly as per their own wish.

For friends who wish to know about the horror element in the film, it just has the scary faces popping out from here and there, with some screechy sounds as usual and nothing beyond that. The camera remains more interested in capturing Sunny's inviting curves throughout and does a pretty routine job in canning the creepy scenes, probably as instructed by the producer and not the director. So its only the two hit songs 'Baby Doll' & 'Chaar Botal Vodka' (used in the end credits), which give you some relief moments in this otherwise sick, sex product coming from a reputed production house, disguised as a horror film.

To sum up, looking at this film presented as a HORREX venture, I feel relieved that we have CENSOR BOARD here to stop these people to go over the board following their greedy intentions. Otherwise with a lead like Sunny Leone available to show it all, these production houses are capable of making any kind of sleazy product in the name of Cinema as it seems in order to make their quick money.

A very amateurishly made 'horrex'(a heady cocktail of horror and sex) movie,marred by a hollow script,footloose screenplay and uninspiring performances. Balaji Telefilms takes this franchise a step forward and director Bhusan Patel invests all his efforts in the sleaze content,making it look like a B-grade erotica with Sunny Leone playing herself! A film unit led by a over-complacent director (Parvin Dabbas) with a bunch of TV stars and a weirdly disinterested scriptwriter go the same haunted building where the actual horrific incident had taken place in the prequel.Quite expectedly, menacing things begin to happen when the vengeful spirit kills the crew members one by one.

Barring a few chills, this spooky fest has nothing more to offer.Even the back-story falls flat.Sunny Leone does a good job where she has to display sensuousness. Sandhya Mridul adds a comic dimension to her character and perhaps the only saving grace amidst the non-actors.Divya Dutta is wasted.

I would Rather recommend you to watch the prequel if you want to indulge in an horror affair.

The movie is an inspiration from the Japanese movie Reincarnation and scenes of some classics like Shining (scene with 2 kids at the corridor), Ringu (makeovers), Exorcist (the exorcism scene) etc were added to screenplay. There is a flashback like most Indian movies which breaks the suspense before the climax. The director actually wanted the movie to be more sensual and more frightening than the first. Sunny Leone displaying her assets (you must know what i mean), walking half-naked at nights, baby doll song etc added some sensuality to the movie. There were some frightnening images to fear kids and sensitive viewers but no substance to fear others unless you're easily scared. The script and screenplay could have been much much better.

Bottom line : Too many inspirations from foreign movies. Still a film to watch lonely late at night for an okay/average horror. You'll be displeased to watch for sensuality.

watched RAGINI MMS 2 ...as we all know its prequel was "inspired" by the film PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (BUT that was still worth a few scares)...this one too carries-on the legacy of its preceder + it also takes it to the another level..MEANS this time its "makers" got so shameless that they ripped off the material from another films AS F**KING IT IS

Here's a list of what they stole...THE SHINING(two girls concept), THE CONJURING(main theme+chair exorcism+toy concept), THE GRUDGE(make- up+placement of "horrors"), THE RING(again make-up/hair), THE POSSESSION(fingers in the throat)..AND many more thing that I might have missed...STILL the quality of their plot was lower than bull's sh!t

NOW should I also tell how poor the "direction" was? How the whole cast collectively performed bad?(THO Sunny Leone has improved a bit since JISM 2..still acting remains a far cry for her)..How tacky the film's editing, script n set was(its filled with useless scenes)..Hell they even tried do comedy here!(LEAST pretend you're serious for the genre)..& How the cinematographer's main focus remains on the Sunny's cleavage for least 30 minutes in this 2 hour long film(personally I/guys don't mind that BUT if we wanted to see that..we'd have gone to the internet ..offering much more)

THE POINT of my bullsh!t mentioned above is that

_DO NOT WATCH_this carp

A sequel to the well-made Ragini MMS, 'Ragini MMS 2' is a Fun watch! An Erotic-Horror flick, along-with some intentional & unintentional humor, makes up for a good time-pass fare!

'Ragini MMS 2' starts off from where Ragini MMS ended which revolved around a young couple Ragini & Uday who went to an isolated house for a dirty weekend and the creepy and paranormal happenings that took place to them there. Uday had planned to make an MMS scandal of Ragini in that house. But the MMS shot goes viral, Uday goes missing and Ragini after that incident became crazy & ended up in a mental hospital. The Ragini MMS scandal catches the attention of a filmmaker who plans to make a film on it. He casts a Bollywood actress in his film to play the lead, Ragini. The film crew goes to shoot the film in the same house where the MMS scandal took place, leading to further horrible & creepy happenings.

'Ragini MMS 2' focuses more on sex, than horror, at least in the first-hour. The protagonist, played by Sunny Leone, shows off quite possibly everything in here, which, definitely, will work big time with the masses. The horror element, however, strikes in more prominently in its second-hour, where some spine-chilling moments are presented, along-with a noisy climax.

'Ragini MMS 2' shouldn't be taken seriously. In fact, this film belongs to 'The Evil Dead' category of film, where the focus is not only on horror, but also on sleaze & surprisingly, even comedy. The Screenplay works, but its more erotic than terrifying. Bhushan Patel's Direction is atmospheric. Cinematography is average. Editing is fine. Art Design & Make-Up, are superb. Songs are peppy.

Performance-Wise: Sunny Leone looks sexy, flaunts her body without any inhibitions whatsoever & participates freely in sex scenes. As far as her performance is concerned, she is strictly okay. Saahil Prem seems to have taken this film a bit too seriously. Sandhya Mridul is entertaining. Parvin Dabas is gloriously over-the-top. Karan Mehra is fair. Divya Dutta is efficient. Kainaz Motivala is sincere in a cameo.

On the whole, 'Ragini MMS 2' isn't great, but its entertaining till it lasts.
