Went for Phoonk yesterday thinking of getting frightened. I was little scared though while sleeping but not in the movie hall. Thats because you can predict whats going to happen next in the movie. Its typical of horror movies which has been made over years, you can think of Keanu Reeves starrer Constantine & then RGV’s very own Revathi starrer Raat which was fantastic.
This movie revolves around a successful builder(Sudeep) who is totally atheist and his daughter who is affected by the black magic. This is done by non other than his ex-parter in business Ashwini Khalsekar and his husband which runs into dispute because of some finance problem, which is not explained properly in the movie. Ashwini Khalsekar has acted superbly as a mad, sarcastically evil women, just looks could kill you and also not to forget little Ahsaas Channa who playes Raksha. This little girl has given a solid performance once again. And then there are usual RGV pyshco characters likes Manja(Zakir Hussain) who helps Raksha get to normal with his Black Magic and the supprting cast.
After seeing this movie you will actually start believing in Black Magic to some extent and will feel that all Science, technology, research is no match for powers of black magic. If you want to get scared go for it, worth watching once.
