NOTE: If you've watched Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity Series, Mama (2013), The Possession (2012) & Spanish thriller The Orphanage, DO NOT bother to watch this flick.
To start with, Aatma has extraordinary special effects and a wonderful climax. That's all. And to end with, the story is clichéd and boring with dull soundtrack. What could've been told in less than ten minutes has been made up as a movie which doesn't send a single chill down your spine, if only lights turning off and doors shutting scared the Jack of YOLO times. Not a chance.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the guy behind me going and spending 300 bucks, has a very small role. His dialogs are vague and is totally wasted. The main characters are Bips & the debut child artiste with not-so-happening smile. The remaining cast performance is below average. Now, since the story has a parade of loopholes here and there, even if you try to enjoy this movie, you abruptly fail at every juncture because of large implications and imagination left to interpret in free space.
A maze where the exits are closed and the screenplay so dramatic, this horror turns out to be a big let-down for an industry crippled with nonsensical movies. If this suit follows, then I am afraid the horror genre cannot be bounced further; not to mention about the other genres' plight.
BOTTOM LINE: An inventive thought and hard work invested with indigenous story, but Aatma fails at every point of categorizing it as an unconventional horror Bollywood flick due to poor execution and sound effects. Not recommended.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

once again being a horror freak and desperately in search for a good horror movie i stepped into the theater and after 100 Min's i came out with a sarcastic smile on my face. The movie started of good and ran good for about half hour but then the movie totally lost its control and not at all scary even in parts.
Especially the climax is absolutely childish.
The story line is very simple and it is about a mother rescuing her child from the ghost of an abusive husband. Though the story line is simple there are movies which created chills by the screenplay and background music but this movie has nothing in the credit of the director and musician the title song being the only positive thing.
The performances by the main characters are good enough,bipasha has improved her acting and siddiqui is talented as always.

Hi, Yesterday night i went to see this movie, there is no proper screenplay in this movie and zero percentage horror. Not even sound effects scare you, nor the "AATMA" Bipasha Basu is not at all learned acting till now except showing her legs and chest. No logic in the movie and the ending of the movie is also funny. This shows our Indian director not good to make horror movies . If you die hard fan of Bipasha go and watch otherwise save your time. camera work is good unnecessary songs if you remove the songs this is just short film. editing is bad and very low performers as cast. totally the movie is waste of time to watch
This movie has a weak plot , Nawaz has been sort of wasted in the movie , wish they would have utlilized him properly .
Yasai yasai pdi hutti lku hutti thaththawa yawala karagaththu de 👍
"Aatma (2013)" turned out to be more of a comedy than a horror film. Despite the initial anticipation for a spine-chilling experience, the movie took an unexpected turn, providing more laughs than scares. The climax, particularly, left me baffled - how did the mom manage to change her clothes so swiftly? The inexplicable fight among the evil spirits added a bizarre touch to the narrative. Perhaps, the film could have taken a more impactful route by concluding with a tragic end for the mom. This is like a fairy tale which can say to a child.
