Plot: This film follows a family as they travel to their farm residence for the holidays. On the way, while eating at a restaurant, they experience an incident that they only learn about after arriving at their farm house, and they can’t believe it could happen. A stranger enters the house without alerting anyone and goes inside. Will the stranger return? Why has he come to their residence, and what is he doing? How did he find out about the farmhouse? To get the answers to all of questions, watch like a hawk.
Tone and Theme: This picture has a Supernatural Horror tone, and its theme is Suspense and Tension. The goal of making this film is to convey a message while providing amusement.
Acting and Characters: Ajay Devgn‘s performance as Kabir is excellent; he portrays pain, sadness, and suffering for his beloved, and his facial appearances show that he is helpless but unable to do anything. His acting reflects the sorrow he is experiencing. Jyotika‘s performance as Jyoti is also splendid; she is powerless to intervene after seeing her husband and daughter in such distress; she appears helpless and alone.
R Madhavan has done a superb acting in the role of Vanraj; the terror that shown in his face and eyes, seems so near to the real-life character, no one else can perform this job better than R Madhavan.
This is Janki Bodiwala‘s first Hindi film in the role of Janvi; she works in the Gujarati film industry and has appeared in a few Gujarati films; her acting in this film can be described as brilliant; she took the role of a daughter very seriously; it is not easy to act in such a scary and terrifying manner. You’ll be scared after viewing some of her parts because of how fully she’s acted. Anngad Raj‘s performance as Dhruv is also good.
This film was Directed by Vikas Bahl. Previously, he directed films such as Chillar Party, Queen (for which Kangana Ranaut received the National Award for Best Actress), and Super 30 (Hrithik Roshan’s acting in this picture praised, and he received numerous award nominations); all of these films are among his most successful, and this film will be as well.
He did an excellent job directing this film; he attempted to tell the story in a very terrifying and scary manner; there is no complexity in the story anywhere; he maintained the suspense throughout the film until the end; the audience will glued to their seats from beginning to end. No body knows what would happen next in the film. He was able to elicit exceptional acting from all the Krishnadev Yagnik wrote the story for the film, which is a remake of his original Gujarati film Vash.
Aamil Keeyan Khan’s Screenplay has magnificent dialogue. There are no mistakes in the script’s sequence of events, scene endings, or character development. The dialogue has also been tailored to match the mood of the film’s story.
Costume Design: Radhika Mehra‘s characters are all fine, and there is little room for experimentation.
Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti‘s Cinematography is excellent; there was little room for him because the film was shot in a single house, but he captured the camera movements and aerial vistas quite beautifully.
Subhash Sahu’s Sound Design is fantastic; it fits the film’s tone and environment well.
Production Design: Garima Mathur‘s sets for the house are good; he did his best to create the appropriate ambiance.
Music & Background Score: Amit Trivedi‘s music for all the songs is excellent, and the background score is just outstanding; the audience feels linked to the film.
Kumaar’s Lyrics are good, especially the Shaitan song.
Sandeep Francis’ Editing style is fast-paced and crisp. One or two parts, such as the dance scene, slow down the film’s pace and may have been edited out.
The Actions of Vikram More and R.P Yadav differ.
Visual Effects: Excellent; the film’s greatest strength is its graphics.
Climax: Very good and vibrant, with plenty of suspense.
Opinion: Must See!
There is suspense in the first scene of the film; who is at that moment? Whose secret disclosed at the end? While watching the movie, the suspense of two sequences revealed at the end.
Flaws: There is no proof as to when Jyoti phoned the phone to the police, Vanraj continually checks the time on his watch; it is unclear why he does so.
Message: We should never take food from a stranger, Nobody can hypnotize us or make us do anything.
Filmfare Award Nominations: This film can garner nominations in numerous categories that will be contested in 2024.
Especially Best Villain, Best Supporting Actress, Best Visual Effects, Best Background Score, and Best Editing.
