404: Error Not Found

Must say before you read this review, I prefer thrills of minds rather mare eye candy pleasures. I really liked 404 for its build up, twists and turns between person's psychology, academic experiment, ragging setup, bi-polar disorder, haunted room and ghost existence. 404 movie is brilliantly knit together with these different concepts with great timing and sequences. I also liked the shade of movie print and backdrop of college. Though, Rajvir acting was superb but Imad Shah's mischievous look and dimple took major limelight.

English movies like Beautiful Mind, which falls in line, but in Indian context, this is one of few movies where director has taken courage to EXPERIMENT with such deep psychological concepts without casting biggies like Amitab, SRK or Ashwarya. Must watch movie!!!

Kudos to the director, writer and actor for this movie. I was not sure of watching this movie after watching the trailer, but picked the movie with a friend at half and watched it from the beginning. Well, he was scared for sure. It was not the special effects or the scary faces but the blend of idea that the characters were discussing and the perfectly timed appearances of events in room no. 404.

Satish Kaushik is himself in the movie, his character is always on the safe side of the discussion and he proves it. Tisca Chopra was good and Immad shah could do better than this, after his Dil Dosti etc. Nishikant Kamat delivers a good performance and Rajvvir Arora's character has to be poker face at times but he overdid it.

If you are thinking its based on college ragging, some copied or failed implementation of a great idea, you are wrong. To enjoy the movie it is necessary to be confused than to be sure about the existence of paranormal/what happens after death. The scene just before the curtain drops can haunt you for days.

404 turns out to be a very different experience . An intelligent concept,well thought of and researched work by Director Prawaal RamanTruly a mind game . Brilliant Acting by Imaad ,Nishikant and Tisca. Imaad is just too good as a senior.Nishikant's performance is brilliant and Tisca is excellent.Rajvir Arora is extremely good as this being his debut movie. The movie keeps you engaged all throughout .Prawaal Raman's direction is flawless. The movie makes your mind work all throughout.Very engaging.The climax turns out to be the best. Very unpredictable and you are made to think even after the movie is over. The film is a much watch for people who prefer something different and exciting cinema.

404 is a suspense thriller with a twist in the end that blows your mind. The highpoint of the film lies in the fact that it explores paranormal activity without abandoning science and rationality. And that indeed is a rare achievement.

Following a linear structure, the narrative stays focused right through.The film is a must watch for all 'thriller' fans. And also horror buffs! Don't miss it.

And yet "404" is one of the most terrifying movie experiences in recent times.

Go for 404 with a bottle of patience. It runs for so long that you could start hallucinating whether the movie is real.

saw 404.. most original script.. never saw such a brilliant film.. a film which is a philosophy in itself.. indeed a piece of art(subash k jha)it conveys a lot more than what appears.. it questions all in every way.. a true classic.. each view has a hidden meaning surfacing..and comparing it to other films is actually true horror..i pity the ignorance of the uneducated viewer.. i saw 1408.. a classic like 404 is way beyond compare with any world cinema..1408 is a regular horror film and other than the digital name nothing is common. 1408 is complete trash in front of 404..

i web searched and not a single film has ever been made on the subject 404 has dealt with... therefor the most original.. i pity those who couldn't understand such classics .. hats off to raman.. and to nishikant kamat and tisca chopra..looking forward for more such work Raman.. and congratulations.. 404 is this years most acclaimed film.. 14 four star ratings out of 23.. not a single film this year is rated so highly,.. congrats..hats off to you raman
