Phoonk 2 (2010)

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I first saw Phoonk 2 years ago,felt it was OK;maybe not as scary as supposed to be.But me and bro were curious to watch the sequel, so watch we did on the BIG SCREEN,and by jove!It really was scary.The story is about Madhu(Ashwini) who returns from the grave to take revenge on Rajiv(Sudeep) and all his loved ones.I don't think it's a huge budget movie-only a small star cast,one can see that not much has been spent.The film moves on a very spooky note,unlike Phoonk. And one point worth noting is that NOTHING HAS BEEN COPIED FROM THE WEST,like many horrors in India do.And the climax keeps one waiting to watch a Phoonk 3. But the film is actually illogical. The makers have simply tried to make something scary. There's so much of unexplained and illogical stuff. Watch it if you want horror.Best seen on the big screen.

I really don't know where to start. This seems to be one confusing ghost! One moment, she doesn't need to use a body to kill people, at other moments entering into more than one body(even if it's a doll) is not enough to kill! And no clear answer as to what happens to this lady spirit at the end. Lot of scenes in the movie either defy logic or sense.The only redeeming aspect is Amruta Khanvilkar as actor Sudeep's wife and Ahsaas Channa as Sudeep's daughter. Both brought life to their performances. Even Sudeep does a decent job. There's no point talking about the rest as it doesn't matter anyway.Verdict: If released, Phoonk 3 should say - Phoonk 2 retold, with answers!

By any standards Phoonk-I was no great milestone so I wondered what was the intent behind the sequel. Maybe the writer potentially can translate it better on screen and set a new benchmark. Sadly the reality speaks a different lingo. Major part of the movie is akin to waiting lounge. Twiddling thumbs. Admist the the eerie camera movement and spooky sound effects you await for the plot to get going. Sadly the snail twitches after a point when the audience has totally lost interest. Very similar to dilly-dallying a candy with a kid and offering it when he doesn't want any more. Owing to the failed engine, the performances of everyone gets awashed. Agreed that RGV believes in taking risks and providing platform to newcomers. But with Phoonk-II one can only advise that he should drop his entire team like hot potatoes and start afresh. And please leave the horror genre alone.

When I got out of a theater with an excruciating headache thanks to the movie that finds its place in the IMDb bottom 100, 'RGV ki AAG', I realized with a sinking feeling that the man who made movies like Satya and Company had undoubtedly suffered a severe concussion.But to come to this, RGV? Funding equally clueless film makers who have no doubt tottered up to your foot steps, jarring camera angles and irrelevant close ups et al. Who scripted this thing? Not the 5 year old child actor of this movie for sure. He looked far too sensible for it. For it is nothing but Bhoot, Vastu Shastra and Phoonk 1 sliced up and edited together. The tragedy is, this one might pass off as a parody of all of themI will tell you what is scary about this movie. The fact that film makers still think they can botch together a movie out of things that have stopped scaring people 25 years ago. During the entire course of this sham (I really can't dignify it by calling it a movie) I felt more emotionless than one of those frozen hibernating frogs. You see, I've been rendered so incredibly numb that I can't even elucidate just how vile a mockery of the craft of film making this is.However, I am eternally grateful to the makers for keeping it shorter than 2 hours. Had I been one of them, I'd have taken my name off the credits.The tagline reads 'The first one was a warning'. I'll tell you something, this review is one as well.
