Post RGV Sholay, I dreaded to watch another Film Factory product. With expectations pined below zero, I begun watching the movie.
Should the ghosts and spirits movie necessarily scary? RGV seems to have been inspired by Shaun Of The Dead which was a horror flick loaded with comedy.
Fardeen Khan's role is akin to Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya only more sleazy husband.
Isha Koppikar doesn't have much scope as a doting housewife and obviously running on older version when it comes to matters behind the closed doors. Seriously if you put the jigsaw pieces together it reveals what RGV is fetish about!
Eesha Deol gets the meaty pie and this time she dons the Urmila's role in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. Only more freer, vengeful and spirited.... literally and figuratively.
Zakir Hussain (a RGV regular) gets it wrong completely this time he irritates. And so does Kota Srinivas Rao, both the roles should have been chopped completely.
Upendra Limaye role should have been given more depth. And her killer-looks assistant was hilarious.
Background score adds to the eerie atmosphere.
The RGV style of camera-work is predominant here. Thankfully not struck (permanently at least!) to heroine's back as in his earlier works. Seriously is the cinematographer partner in crime too?
Last but not the least, stop the close-up camera work. We have had enough!
Darling does invoke good laughs thanks to the efforts by the lead actors. Though the end is contrived.
