Junglemahal: The Awakening

The story and plot both are amazing one of best Indian horror movie I have ever watched .. Sanjeev (lead actor) I watched first time but liked his acting. Actresses who did Maria and Neelama both did great...Ramu's dialogue was great at end of movie" kya mai apke sath aa skata hun saab". The overall story.. shooting location.. music and direction work is amazing....the movie is based on true stories and looks like shot at real location. I recommend to watch the movie if you are true lover of horror movies... seems all cast is new but amazing work done by director and all actors...a must watch movie...

Another thriller by the Hindi Parallel Cinema, and they dont fail to deliver! This movie is destined for great things!!! Not at all predictable, this thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing the entire time.

In a nutshell the movie is about a young people who travelled to a haunted house for reaserch . And things they encounter during their journey and the hidden threats they should face .

Excellent performances by both the male and female leads . The supporting actors were pretty decent too. This is a movie thats worth spending your time to watch, so hurry and catch it, you wont be disappointed!

This is film making at its best which shifts your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and senses into the space and time of the narrative.

This movie IS NOT like yet other cheap horror flick whose entire goal is to use special effects and sounds to jolt you off into spams of shock.

This slowly releases a spider to you and you start by getting the sting, then the scratch, and you feel the pain spread until it hits you that it is all happening under your skin. And grip of fear becomes palpable.

A great movie after a long long time. A must watch. It is best recommended to watch it in a hall otherwise in a dark room with great speakers.

Film Review: Jungle Mahal : The Awakening Streaming free on YouTube!!

I happened to stumble upon this one ( literally 🙂) during one my YouTube searches. This film is a brilliantly made horror film directed by Arunava Choudhary.

Loosely based on true events & set in the 80's during the peak of the Naxalite uprising , a group of 5 travellers find themselves stranded in the dense jungles somewhere in Bihar & are forced to take refuge in an abandoned forest guest house in the middle of nowhere. As time passes, strange things start happening and it becomes a matter of survival for our protagonists.

The film has been shot with a retro theme which adds to the charm of this period flick. Dense eerie jungles, a dilapidated bungalow, oil lit lamps, old black and white photographs go a long way in showcasing the nostalgic look of a bygone era and at the same time beautifully create a feeling of horror and unease as the film progresses. Doesn't rely on blood & gore at all and yet manages to send a shiver down ur spine !!

Cast of the film ( mostly unknown !! ) Deserve a special mention - Masoomeh Ab · Aditya Baliyan · Farhad Khairy · Suraiya Parvin · Amit Raina · Prashant Shinde.

Somehow such brilliantly made films that r on par with Cult Classics like " The Blair Witch Project" or " Paranormal Activity" never seem to do well or find an audience here in India .. a travesty indeed!! Probably absence of big names in the starcast also ends up pulling the film down 😔

If you r a true horror film buff then u will definitely find this enjoyable!!

Going with 3.5/5 for this... Adios 🙂!!

The movie captures the location and settings of rural, interior eastern mountain ghats and jungles of Bihar like never before. It captivates the audience right from the start and probably holds them till the end. Full marks to Cinematography and the DOP. Use of lights was done exceptionally well in the constrained budget. Actors were decent although there wasn't much scope for performance given the weakest link of the movie - script and screenplay. It's an average story described in a stale way, thus leaving very little for the actors. Overall, the movie does succeed to haunt you in some parts.
