Featured reviews
Thought the first story directed by Zoya Akhtar was having a good potential to do well but somehow after 12 to 15 minutes the story loses its interesting factor and becomes boring. The second half of first story somehow fails to satisfy what the viewers what to see.
The second story which is directed by Anurag Kashyap is the worst out of all four. From very starting the story is being dragged and when it comes to ending most of person who will watch it will feel that it was rubbish. One thing which i am still wondering about this story is that why it was black and white.
The third story directed by Dibakar Banerjee is the best one out of four and has something different to tell which we haven't seen much in Indian movies or web series. Dibakar Banerjee has made his one in a nice way so that the viewers doesn't feel bored which watching. His directing and cinematography style is good.
The fourth and the last story which is directed by Karan Johar is ok but somehow while watching i felt like it was narrating a too common story which i have already seen in lot of movies/series/short film. Over its story was very predictable.
Overall if i asked to me about the whole movie ( 4 stories together) i will say that get boring from the very beginning. Only a small portion of the movie is good which is Directed by Dibakar Banerjee.

Yes, only 3rd story is interesting, others are just a waste of time.
Story by Anurag kashyap was the most boring one, Karan johar's story had very stereotypical scenes and again boring story, zoya's story could not maintain the interest till end, But the exception is the Dibakar banergee's story, its interesting, gripping, good cinematography and set design, lights and camera work is really good!
Zoya's short :- well performances were good, setup was good but horror element was missing. Unfortunately this zoya's story is forgettable comparing with her lust story short. I think zoya could have done a better job.
Anurag's short :- creepy as hell. I understand 25 mins of it but after that I had tons of questions and this short didn't gave me anything. I think anurag is only best at showing human horror like he did in ugly. this is anurags worst. forgettable movie.
Dibakar's short :- The best amongst all. Dibakars truly understands the horror. It was intriguing, funny and thrilling, I wish it was longer and I don't know since inception everyone wants to leave their ending incomplete. I love this short wish I could see this in a movie with runtime of 2 hours atleast.
Karan's short :- Predictable story. Performances were good, setup was nicely done but I think karan is still an immature director. There were many bollywood cliches and ending was illogial

The only scary part of Ghost Stories is how these 4 are supposed to be amongst Bollywood's top film directors. Serious rubbish and scary thought about the future of Bollywood. Dibakars segment is relatively better but Anurag Kashyap needs to retire. He is going the RGV route. Except that Anurags peak has been much lesser than RGV.
Cliche !! only thing that came into my mind while watching this Horror Anthology. Indian literature is enriched with bone chilling horror stories yet filmmakers relies on western crap. And watching Karan Johar trying his hands on horror is just pathetic. Anurag Kashyap's Story was dull and boring so is Zoya Akhtar's. Only saving point of this Anthology is Dibakar's take on Warewolves who actually looked more like Big Foot, was interesting and had bit of gore which is new for Indian movies. Avoiding this one won't be a loss. Rather watch Ghost Stories 2017, which is actually a good Brit Anthology horror.
