Story: A supposedly scary tale, the story is set on the backdrop of City Hospital and this place sees a series of gruesome murders happening at the night. A young doctor Dr Suhani (sayali) begins to experience all this and she is not sure who or what is causing these killings. A top league investigative agency is roped in and its best officer Vijay (shiney) enters the scene. In no time, love develops between Suhani and Vijay but the killings don’t stop. Vijay takes this case very personally and decides to find out who is responsible. Is he successful in this or not forms the rest of the story. Presentation: The director has come up with an age old storyline and while the presentation was alright, the narrative was lacking depth. The dialogues were regular, the script was written with loose ends and screenplay was weak. Background score was good but songs were there for diversion. Cinematography was worthy. Editing was not upto the mark. Costumes were natural while the art department was suiting the moods. Shiney Ahuja has come back and he gives his best to infuse life into the character. Sayali Bhagat has got this strange sexuality about her and she does her bit as required. Julia has less to speak but her makeup was not that effective. Tej Sapru was neat, Deepraj Rana was alright. The others didn’t have much to offer. Conclusion: With the kind of technology and the excitement that audience has, the horror movies are expected to have many shock points and beat the bulbs out of the viewer. However, that doesn’t happen in this movie. While the first half goes about with the regular spooky happenings, the second half loses the steam. The key cause for that was the unwanted songs and the botched up romantic track. Of course, there are one or two good moments that give the jolt. Overall, this is a film which takes off well but doesn’t land properly. At the box office, it would be a below average fare.
