I see this movie has got great reviews by critics and glorified as a very different, intelligent, horror/suspense, layered, textured, trend setter, daring, best and many other ephitets. And Radhika Apte was glorified as giving an Oscar winning performance which would put even Meryl Streep to shame (or words to that effect).
The reality - Movie is boring and the same scenes seem to keep repeating again and again, because the movie is all shot in one place indoors. Director has mixed up Agrophobia with psychic nonsense to come up with a movie which is hard to dive inside and feel any empathy with the so-called victim played by Radhika Apte. It is too much to see her continuously for 2 hours making various weird faces, searching under bed, poking thru bathroom holes etc. And all this glorified as a great movie, great direction. Ridiculous. I love watching so-called art movies and even bear thru "heavy" movies, but this was just too much to tolerate. With the benefit of remote, i could barely see thru the whole nonsense. Probably, the high expectations raised by glowing reviews made it more disappointing.
I would suggest to watch "Kaun" (from Ram Gopal Verma, during his glory days), to which this movie is being compared. The comparison of course is unfair. Kaun was fun to watch. Not much to see about fun here.
