Comment:
A Cocktail plot, lesser known starts and good-looking dames makes this a formula movie. But, the CGI is sufficiently horrifying. Although one might notice lapses in the plot, one could excuse them as ‘directorial license’. The movie is quite predictable, but scores way above Bollywood’s Ramsey flicks.
Rating: 3/5 – Time Pass!
