Lupt

During lockdown was searching for a horror movie and came across Lupt on Netflix. Lupt is a decent movie and yes not very gory and thankfully no sex and unnecessary songs. Direction is good, screenplay is good but storyline is same old and cliche. I liked Niki Walia and Vijay Raaz. Jaaved Jaaferi at some scenes i felt he over acted or may be the scene demanded. Rishab Chadha was good. Meenakshi is not bad. others were average. Overall it is a decent bollywood horror.

It's a little slow but i enjoyed. I wanted to see more of Vijay Raaz's scenes. He's incredible and all the movies are great that he's in. Jaaved Jaaferi is good as well in this movie. Minakshi Dixit was good. The dialogues and characters' demeanour are genuine and authentic. Loved few scenes. some scenes are very slow and thats the beauty of the film i believe. I found Sam's character to be annoying, but he quickly turned creepy throughout the film. Direction is not bad. What i dint like is theVFX part, they could've done a better job. Second half could have been edited a bit. Having said that, I gotta confess that I wasn't bored by it. It was relatively watchable. My rating 6/10

It's a decent thriller about a car breakdown that delivers a very interesting ghost story. Usually I don't enjoy horror movies because most of them are typically made masala movie, but this one is what I always expected from such a movie, a decent story told in a simple manner yet kept the interest with good performances. Loved the performances of Jaaved Jaaferi and Vijay Raaz. Rishab Chadha kept entertaining. Niki Walia comeback was good. Rest were average in their performances. Direction is not bad. I loved the slow pace of scenes which not everybody will enjoy. For me, it worked. Giving 6/10

It's a little slow film. A family on vacation are lost Their family member are killed. A claustrophobic story with an excellent performance by Jaaved Jaaferi, Vijay Raaz and Niki Walia. The boy who does prank is also very good in the film. The scares were... well there weren't many. Don't expect Lupt to be an exclusive horror film. Its a thriller and focussing more on emotional drama. like i said its a slow film. The direction is not bad. Story could have been better. what i liked the best is the title song. Very well composed. The makers should have promoted the title track of the film instead, they heavily promoted "Bhoot Hoon Mai song". The ending was a little fumbled, but otherwise it was quite enjoyable for me. 6/10

During lockdown the only entertainment was watching movies. Got to see Lupt on Netflix. There were some common horror cliches here. No network, car breakdown, getting lost on a strange road. However, I think that thats the case with most horror films. Moral of the story - always follow the known road and don't take shortcuts on trips because people that are close to you will either get murdered by a ghost, or go crazy, do something stupid and kill themselves. Nothing really special. Jaaved Jaaferi was good, Vijay Raaz is always the best, Rishab's comic timing was not bad, others were average. Story could have been better. Dialogues were ok. Direction was not bad. VFX not good. Although the plot twist was slightly predictable this was an overall one time watch for me. Giving 5/10
