HINDI FILM INDUSTRY's Love & Tradition for SOUTHERN Remakes continue....
AKSHAY KUMAR's fascination with South gets another addition in this Decade ..(ROWDY RATHORE..BOSS..HOLIDAY..GABBAR IS BACK..LAXMII..) (Part Producer of this film)
2018's TELUGU film "BHAAGMATHIE" is adapted & helmed by the same director (G. ASHOK)..!!
The major USP of HORROR/ SUSPENSE film is its final revealation that should surprise /shock you..
Despite quite a few glitches & flaws ..film has enough ABBAS-MUSTANesque twists & turns to keep you hooked...
(P.S: Climax shall remind you of 2007's BIGGEST HIT)
The film begins with a CBI Investigation to frame a minister (ARSHAD W) for political gain...
His Secretary (BHUMI PEDNEKAR) who is serving a jail imprisonment is summoned..
Interrogation takes place away from the glaring public eyes in a mansion that seems haunted ..
What follows next is Intrigue..mystery & some secrets that come out of closet..
First half is too slow with screenplay being too repetitive..
Second half picks up steam that holds on..
A Beautiful premise could have done better with crisp editing
BHUMI PEDNEKAR ..is sincere but in comparison ANUSHKA SHETTY wins hands down...in original
ARSHAD WARSI...steers away from his forte but takes the cake
MAHIE GILL..good to see her other than being sensuous
JISHU SENGUPTA..KARAN KAPADIA provide able support
Does not match upto the original..but with a clean slate..makes a decent watch..
