    Mind-blowing movie

    Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the human psyche, exploring themes of faith, fear, and spiritual manipulation. Director Kussh Sinha makes a stellar debut, crafting a deeply emotional and suspenseful narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

    Sonakshi Sinha delivers a commanding and brilliant performance as Nikita, a rationalist who confronts unexplainable forces head-on. Her portrayal is deeply human, making her character's journey all the more relatable and engaging. She is looking so versatile in whole film and totally nailed it. The supporting cast, including Paresh Rawal and Suhail Nayyar, add depth and complexity to the story.

    The film's cinematography is stunning, using silence and shadows to create a sense of dread that permeates throughout. The gloomy house setting becomes a character in its own right, enhancing the eerie atmosphere. The narrative is well-paced, with unexpected twists and turns that keep viewers guessing until the very end.

    While some may find the film's themes and plot familiar, Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness offers a fresh perspective on the dangers of blind faith and the importance of questioning the unknown. Overall, it's a thought-provoking and thrilling ride that's sure to leave audiences spellbound . Personality I loved it.

    Waste of time

    I had high hopes when I sat down to watch this film, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most predictable and uninspiring movies I've seen in a long time. Within the first 30 minutes, I could already tell exactly how the story was going to unfold, and sadly, I was right. There were no surprises, no twists, no emotional build-up-just a flat, uninspired storyline that dragged from beginning to end.

    Let's start with the acting. It felt wooden and lifeless throughout. None of the characters felt real or relatable except Paresh Rawal. But his role and character was soo obvious that his good acting didn't help. It was almost as if the male lead was just going through the motions, reading lines rather than actually performing or conveying any genuine emotion. There wasn't a single performance that stood out or made me feel connected to the characters. Whether it was a dramatic moment or a supposedly lighthearted scene, everything was delivered with the same dull, expressionless or overexpressive tone. It made it very difficult to care about what happened to any of them.

    The direction didn't help either. There was no sense of vision or creativity behind the camera. Every scene felt generic, as if it had been copied and pasted from dozens of other low-effort films. The pacing was all over the place-some scenes dragged on for far too long, while others were rushed through so quickly that they lost all impact. There was no rhythm, no build-up, and no sense of immersion. It felt like a series of disconnected events that never quite formed a coherent or compelling narrative.

    Speaking of narrative, the story itself was extremely weak. The premise had potential, but it was completely wasted. Instead of exploring the characters or presenting interesting dilemmas, the film settled for the most clichéd and overused plot points imaginable. You could literally guess what each character was going to do next. Every "twist" was painfully obvious and telegraphed long in advance. There was no tension or suspense, no stakes to keep the viewer engaged. It was like watching a checklist of tired tropes being ticked off one by one.

    Even the storytelling-the way the film attempted to deliver its story-was flat and uninspired. There was no emotional depth, no thematic exploration, and no creative risks taken. The film didn't trust its audience to think or feel-it just spoon-fed everything in the most boring, straightforward way possible. Moments that were clearly supposed to be powerful or moving fell completely flat due to the lack of proper buildup or character development. It was frustrating to see so much potential squandered.

    The cinematography, music, and editing were equally forgettable. There was nothing visually striking or stylistically unique about the film. The soundtrack didn't enhance the mood-it was just background noise. Editing choices were clumsy, with awkward transitions and a lack of flow that made the entire experience feel disjointed.

    By the halfway point, I was just waiting for it to end. I kept hoping for some kind of redemption, maybe a twist or a bold move that would turn things around-but it never came. The film simply limped toward its painfully predictable conclusion, offering nothing memorable or meaningful along the way.

    In short, this movie was a major disappointment. From the acting and direction to the story and presentation, everything felt half-baked and uninspired. If you're looking for something engaging, emotional, or even remotely original, I strongly suggest skipping this one. There are far better ways to spend your time. Watching this felt like a complete waste of two hours. Not recommended.

    Boring

    Disappointed I went in with decent expectations - the title sounded interesting, and I thought maybe this would be a decent horror-thriller with a fresh storyline. But within the first 20 minutes, I could already feel that something was off. The film just drags. It tries to build suspense, but instead of feeling tense or intrigued, I felt bored and disconnected.

    . There's no real depth in the story, and everything feels too surface-level. The so-called mystery or horror elements are predictable, and if you've seen even a couple of decent thrillers, you'll guess most of the plot twists before they even happen. It's not that every film needs to shock the audience, but at least keep us engaged - this one failed at that.

    Scenes feel stretched unnecessarily, dialogues are dull, and there's a lot of "build-up" that leads nowhere. It feels like the movie keeps promising that something big or scary is about to happen - but that moment never truly arrives. It just keeps dragging you through the mud.

    I didn't feel emotionally connected to any of them. Nikita Roy's character could've been so much more powerful and layered, but she's written so flatly that even her struggles don't evoke empathy. I kept waiting for her character to grow, or at least show some spark - but it never happens. The side characters feel like they were added just to fill space.

    Which I was hoping would at least make up for the weak story, is average at best. The lighting, angles, and visuals lack creativity, and the "darkness" element in the title hardly translates into anything visually gripping. The **background music** too was underwhelming. In horror or thriller films, music plays such a huge role in setting the mood - but here, it didn't really enhance any scene. In fact, it made some scenes feel even flatter.

    By the time the film reached its climax, I was just hoping it would end soon. And when it did, it didn't leave me with anything to remember - no moment that stuck with me, no performance that stood out, nothing. It's one of those films where you walk out of the theatre (or finish it online) and forget it within an hour.

    I'm not trying to be harsh, but as a viewer, you expect at least some return on your time and attention. This film honestly felt like a missed opportunity. There was a good concept somewhere underneath, but it got buried under poor execution, bad pacing, and weak writing.

    Watch it only if you have absolutely nothing else to do...
