(note - this is not horror and I could not find any other suitable caterogy so put thriller/suspense)
Yes,
for all the people going Phoonk considering that they will get scared, let me clarify this - it is NOT horror movie but it is movie based on BLACK MAGIC. Now if you don’t understand the difference between this, you lose your all expectations watching this film
There are no scary faces, no that great sound effects that shek you up. I really wonder on which basis, RGV Company announced 5 lac for who sits alone and watches the movie. Everybody can do that and in that way, he might lose all his money earned out of Satya and Rangeela!
Well, let us talk about the movie now. Sudeep suits as Contractor, in fact very good acting. Ehsaas as a child captured by black magic is okay and not award winning. The dispute between doctors and aged people is shown nicely! Granny of Ehsaas(Raksha) always tries to make all the family member understand that there is Black Magic and medical science can do nothing about it. Sudeep who is shown atheist denies all that asks believing in God including the demand of workers at his site to build a temple where they had found a stone resembling Ganapati.
What I liked the most is movie’s end wherein Sudeep’s wife(ah, she is very beautiful!) says him that thier daughter is saved only by dint of doctor who is child psychiatric! The fun is this is the same lady who believed in God but then says that what God is doing when this all is happening to her daughter! She loses her faith in God a bit and then believes doctor. Oppositely, Sudeep, an atheist is informed that his daughter is caught by Black Magic and there is nothing medical science can do. He goes to a Tantric(Black Magic Master) and sees that he can really do something. He takes him to the culprits where he kills them. He then firmly believs in God then on! With all blood stains, he comes to the hospital to see his daughter where he finds his wife with his daughter all well! His wife says that dialog then that their daughter exists only because of Doctor! This fellow chuckles and says Yes!
I mean I cannot explain this in words, it is to be seen to realize!
So finally,
The movie is NOT scary, all can watch(including children. yes.!) Again, don’t waste your money if you think you will see scenes something those were in Exorcist! There is no blood, ghost, devil, evil, horror etc. Go and Watch it by all means.!
Acting is okay by every person. That Tantrik, Young Couple, Amma, that Black Magic Woman, Kids . everything is okay but not noteworthy!
If you watch movie, there is nothing wrong, if you don’t watch it. you don’t lose anything!
Now I am looking forward for 1920! Let us see what Raaz people can do there!
