4/10
It is how Sasta Rooh-Afzah was invented !
17 February 2024
Yes I am so late to watch this movie because I got some mixed reviews from various reviewers as well as audiences regarding this. But after rewatching Stree & Bhediya I thought let's give it a try. And in one word I can explain it ; that is Rooh-Afzah (a low budget Stree). Ha Ha Just Kiddin'.

This movie had a lot of potential to achieve the level of Stree and Bhediya But It lacked so much in every technicality.

The best part of this movie is Acting Performances of both Rajkumar Rao & Varun Sharma. Their comic timing was too good and the way they pronounce English words were funny. Their English photographer also did his little role decently. At certain points Jahnvi Kapoor impressed with her acting but it became repetitive and the calmness in her face in horror scenes became boring a bit. And of course the romantic songs ruined a horror scene and it feels like forced comedy rather than horror in nature. There were 2/3 jump scares in the first half of film which was good in my opinion.

The Music was average, Environment was Okeyish and background score was sometimes over amplitude based ; that's why some conversations of Rajkumar Rao was hard to understand in the first go. The screenplay was good and gripping but could have been more tight in the second half especially.

Overall it's kind of One time watch without having any expectations like Stree or Bhediya. I will call it an average movie and it's good to go with whole family as it doesn't have any kind of offensive scenes. From my side it's 4 Out of 10 Stars for it.
