Ragini MMS 2

The camera-footage films was popularized by Hollywood film Paranormal Activity which was later utilized in Ragini MMS, touted to be the India's first film to do it. Ragini MMS 2 kicks off from where the first part ends but is saddened by over-the-top performance and lame script.

After brutal incident at a farm house which killed Uday and left Ragini in unstable condition, a director is inspired to shoot the film at the same farm house based on unfortunate events.

The trailer of Ragini MMS 2 was catchy and interesting but when you will watch the film, you will be flabbergasted to watch half-porn sleazy skin show with no spooky moments enough to scare the hell out of you. In fact, the movie will remind you early 80's Ramsay' classics like Purana Mandir and Veerna which had C-grade actors , blazing lights, big-old broken house. Screenplay is weak with no sense of storyline. Cinematography is bad. Art direction is worse. Editing is loose. Sunny Leone gets ample scope to show her well-curved figure but that is it. She is still has long way to go in terms of acting. Other actors are pathetic including talent like Divya Dutta. Songs are the only silver- lining in this boring flick with "Baby-Doll" and " Chaar Bottle Vodka" being pick of the lot.

Overall, The original Ragini MMS was fun to watch with enough scary moments and fabulous acting. The sequel is a disappointing follow-up. Forget it .Poor 1/5

Ragini MMS 2 review:

As a kid, the first horror film I saw was Ramsay's Veerana (1986). I remember quietly sneaking in the video cassette and watching it on vcr when my parents were away. The film had an evil force (Ramsay regular Anirudh Agarwal with mud pack on his face), a hot and sexy Jasmin under a shower and typical exorcism tamasha.

As I watched Ekta Kapoor's Ragini MMS 2, I was reminded of Veerana. It has all the above story elements only with bigger production design, slicker technical effects and ofcourse, Sunny Leone in place of Jasmin. Still, I aint impressed. Clearly, Hindi horror hasn't matured yet. Come back Ramsays, you are being missed...

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.

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

I voted just two stars, just for Sunny Leone who happens to be the best thing about this movie. This is a horrex movie about shooting a horrex movie. Actually it is not a movie at all. It is just selling Sunny Leone in Indian market.

You can look at the main actors of the movie and can say right about then that they have never acted in their life before apart from Divya Dutta( I don't know why she chose to do this movie).

As many of us already know, Bollywood just copies Hollywood movies(almost all) scene-to-scene, and take credit for it and does award functions and share awards with each other( for best direction, scriptwriter and cinematographer etc. Can you believe this audacity?) and make real good money by doing it. You can just imagine about this mentality. And, even after that they somehow screw the movie. They can't even copy a Hollywood movie properly.

So, basically you know this "movie" will suck and if you choose to pay and watch it you are surely going in for Sunny Leone.(Yes, why watch her naked for free when you can pay to watch her in clothes? Right?)

I just took some time out to slam this movie because I love cinema and hate rich people who want to screw it. I really want Hindi cinema to improve and so I am helping in my own small way by writing this review on IMDb to discourage such waste of money and the initiative of many directors in Hindi cinema who want the audience to look someplace else for real entertainment.

Thank you.
