Ragini MMS 2

Making a good horror movie is a tough job. Modern day digitally connected, and increasingly rational audience is notoriously demanding fresh takes at traditional horror concepts. This is also leading to fusion of genres. Ragini MMS2 is one such genre mix- horror and sex.

I know Balaji Telefilms has taken it upon them to be "bold" but a movie such as this starring a porn star in and as a porn star is questionable. The original Ragini MMS had some amount of originality- a couple unknowingly going to a haunted house to shoot a MMS and becoming the target of an evil spirit.

In a recent interview, Sunny is quoted to have said that directors approach her with scripts just to find a reason to meet her. Parvin Dabas plays one such sleazy director, who comes up with this brilliant idea of shooting a movie based on the plot of the first movie, at the same spooky house. He also wants real actors, not big stars and strangely so, he selects the one actor who has made a career out of faking it, as the lead. Rest of the plot is a lift from the recently released The Conjuring- creaky house, an angry poltergeist, possession, levitating chairs, missing children, human sacrifice, a tree hanging, the spirit embodied in an object from the past- all is been there done that category.

It is a known fact that clothes and Sunny do not like each other. So much to the satisfaction of front row whistle blowers, all throughout the movie, she features in various stages of undress. At one point, Sunny says that she wants to research for her role. To which the director pulls out an epic quote- "Porno se Rituporno kab ban gayi". In many ways, this statement sums up Sunny's real life quest for respect in the acting world. But can the audience ever stop objectifying her? Surely, not when she is thrusting out her assets at the slightest instance, and indulging in sex in the lake, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and in the rain.

And surprisingly though, she acts pretty well, especially considering how insipidly written the other characters are. Director Bhushan Patel ensures that decent actors like Sandhya Mridul, Dabas, and Divya Dutta come out unintentionally funny. Divya Dutta is an incredible character in herself- she is a psychiatrist who moonlights as an exorcist! The crazy cinematography has ghosts appearing in almost every alternate frame, but with no sense of drama and hence leaves little impact. Even her porn movies have seen better direction. So ultimately you only get to do the guy thing and admire Leone's body.

So there it is- baby doll and bottles of vodkas notwithstanding, Ragini MM2 is generic horror, devoid of logic and scares, it is little more than an uninhibited skin show. But maybe that's something deep down in our hearts we actually wanted- 4/10

I voted just two stars, just for Sunny Leone who happens to be the best thing about this movie. This is a horrex movie about shooting a horrex movie. Actually it is not a movie at all. It is just selling Sunny Leone in Indian market.

You can look at the main actors of the movie and can say right about then that they have never acted in their life before apart from Divya Dutta( I don't know why she chose to do this movie).

As many of us already know, Bollywood just copies Hollywood movies(almost all) scene-to-scene, and take credit for it and does award functions and share awards with each other( for best direction, scriptwriter and cinematographer etc. Can you believe this audacity?) and make real good money by doing it. You can just imagine about this mentality. And, even after that they somehow screw the movie. They can't even copy a Hollywood movie properly.

So, basically you know this "movie" will suck and if you choose to pay and watch it you are surely going in for Sunny Leone.(Yes, why watch her naked for free when you can pay to watch her in clothes? Right?)

I just took some time out to slam this movie because I love cinema and hate rich people who want to screw it. I really want Hindi cinema to improve and so I am helping in my own small way by writing this review on IMDb to discourage such waste of money and the initiative of many directors in Hindi cinema who want the audience to look someplace else for real entertainment.

Thank you.

A sequel to the well-made Ragini MMS, 'Ragini MMS 2' is a Fun watch! An Erotic-Horror flick, along-with some intentional & unintentional humor, makes up for a good time-pass fare!

'Ragini MMS 2' starts off from where Ragini MMS ended which revolved around a young couple Ragini & Uday who went to an isolated house for a dirty weekend and the creepy and paranormal happenings that took place to them there. Uday had planned to make an MMS scandal of Ragini in that house. But the MMS shot goes viral, Uday goes missing and Ragini after that incident became crazy & ended up in a mental hospital. The Ragini MMS scandal catches the attention of a filmmaker who plans to make a film on it. He casts a Bollywood actress in his film to play the lead, Ragini. The film crew goes to shoot the film in the same house where the MMS scandal took place, leading to further horrible & creepy happenings.

'Ragini MMS 2' focuses more on sex, than horror, at least in the first-hour. The protagonist, played by Sunny Leone, shows off quite possibly everything in here, which, definitely, will work big time with the masses. The horror element, however, strikes in more prominently in its second-hour, where some spine-chilling moments are presented, along-with a noisy climax.

'Ragini MMS 2' shouldn't be taken seriously. In fact, this film belongs to 'The Evil Dead' category of film, where the focus is not only on horror, but also on sleaze & surprisingly, even comedy. The Screenplay works, but its more erotic than terrifying. Bhushan Patel's Direction is atmospheric. Cinematography is average. Editing is fine. Art Design & Make-Up, are superb. Songs are peppy.

Performance-Wise: Sunny Leone looks sexy, flaunts her body without any inhibitions whatsoever & participates freely in sex scenes. As far as her performance is concerned, she is strictly okay. Saahil Prem seems to have taken this film a bit too seriously. Sandhya Mridul is entertaining. Parvin Dabas is gloriously over-the-top. Karan Mehra is fair. Divya Dutta is efficient. Kainaz Motivala is sincere in a cameo.

On the whole, 'Ragini MMS 2' isn't great, but its entertaining till it lasts.

The camera-footage films was popularized by Hollywood film Paranormal Activity which was later utilized in Ragini MMS, touted to be the India's first film to do it. Ragini MMS 2 kicks off from where the first part ends but is saddened by over-the-top performance and lame script.

After brutal incident at a farm house which killed Uday and left Ragini in unstable condition, a director is inspired to shoot the film at the same farm house based on unfortunate events.

The trailer of Ragini MMS 2 was catchy and interesting but when you will watch the film, you will be flabbergasted to watch half-porn sleazy skin show with no spooky moments enough to scare the hell out of you. In fact, the movie will remind you early 80's Ramsay' classics like Purana Mandir and Veerna which had C-grade actors , blazing lights, big-old broken house. Screenplay is weak with no sense of storyline. Cinematography is bad. Art direction is worse. Editing is loose. Sunny Leone gets ample scope to show her well-curved figure but that is it. She is still has long way to go in terms of acting. Other actors are pathetic including talent like Divya Dutta. Songs are the only silver- lining in this boring flick with "Baby-Doll" and " Chaar Bottle Vodka" being pick of the lot.

Overall, The original Ragini MMS was fun to watch with enough scary moments and fabulous acting. The sequel is a disappointing follow-up. Forget it .Poor 1/5

The film is a sequel to the 2010 horror movie Ragini MMS.The horror scenes are very similar to the recent Hollywood horror movie.First half of the movie is good with horror and other stuff but when it comes to second half the story loses track and quite frustrating. The director had concentrated more on horror scenes rather than the story.Pros of the movie are few scenes like in which Sunny manages to show a spark of brilliance in a scene where she parodies herself and fakes an orgasm, few horror scenes are good.Cons of the movie are music, sound effect are uncomfortable.By infusing it in almost every scene to add to the horror value. This works on a basic level but as it progressed towards the climax, the movie begins to jar on the ears.The makeup work is atrocious.The acting of the cast is just average. It is better to avoid this movie.
