Baseless thriller
AishFan12 July 2004
Looks like Ekta Kapoor produces another not-that-great thriller and also uses the same locales. A good thriller usually does have the shocking moments that make you jump in your seat, and this movie "kind of" has some of those, but you have no idea who/what is scaring everyone. Is it a ghost? Is it a murderer? Is it a victim? Nothing seems to make sense. Pointless scaring is not scary at all. The story finally makes sense towards the end, but it's too late by then. Some rather unconvincing scenes are more comical than they are scary. Rati Agnihotri is a good actress, but her ghost scene is absolutely hilarious. Songs are okay. Sohail and Isha gave a decent performance.

Good movie
praveenravi-5119323 July 2020
It's a good movie, worth watching. Like many other ghost stories, this movie also starts with a group of friends travel late night and happens to halt in a haunted building. But no killing takes place there. The group of friends continue their life happily until they come across a book which turns their life.

New wine in an old bottle

Warning: Spoilers
Same Bees Saal Baad, Suryavanshi format. Hero is reborn, heroine becomes a ghost. That means men have this extra Y chromosome responsible for rebirth. But well told, succeeds in scaring the audience. Not as cheap & ridiculous as bees saal baad.

When will I hear Ekta CAUGHT-AGE ????
ankit-singh9216 May 2021
A group of dumb adults, old enough to have graduated at least 10 years ago, are still in college. Understandable as far as Sohail Khan is concerned. Suffered too many year-downs maybe. Anita Hasanandani speaks in a manner proving she's still suffering from hangover of her soap operas while the rest of the troupe rather than murdering her just keep listening. Enter Isha Koppikar as a demonic spirit, admitted to the college in mid session, maybe has a few backlogs to clear from her past incarnation. Wherever a mysterious book goes, it spells doom, be it for its transport be it for its reader. It can very well be assumed the book is actually the movie's script. Despite being multi-talented, years of sabbatical have forced poor Rati Agnihotri to work as a call centre between spirits and humans, some of the dead might've surely complained why Sohail Khan took acting.

Key takeaways from the movie: Anita Hasanandani should attend a speech therapist, Isha Koppikar no matter how brain dead should refrain from ever playing the dead again and Sohail Khan should visit the lavatory before facing the camera or perhaps accept roles where he's to play deaf, dumb and mute combined, it'll be tough but he can try for audience sake.

A good horror film
meetthemsm17 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Balaji films attempted a horror/ thriller/romance in 2003 in KUCCH TO HAI but result was indeed horrible...in 2004 they came up with a horror film KRISHNA COTTAGE but this time this film actually delivered .. On the story font it is about a bunch of college going friends who somehow came to know a secret (one by one) about their latest friend (!) And this causes them being murdered one by one...who is this new friend? What is the secret? Why it is taking lives? What is the role of KRISHNA COTTAGE? Who is the ghost/ spirit?....all these are answered and it is mostly satisfying. Now horror elements are definitely there...it is expected to give you some scares ... Don't expect too much either... Acting wise nothing historical type but the bunch of actors in this film are not known for their acting ....Sohail Khan doesn't fit into a college student role but he acts okay...Anita looked little uneasy at times but maintain to hold her role ...Isha koppikar was good ...rest of actors are okay Overall if you like horror films and that too in the midst of college campus type ...this should be on your watch list...

Unheard story
sameerkhan66631 December 2023
I watched this movie after watching a reel made by Kusha Kapila about POV: you are the ghost from krishna cottage. Rewinded me with that nostalgic song of Shreya Ghosal. The song in the movie was crown. I legit adored the last message of the movie, so basically the movie is a blend of one sided love story and horror. The moral they gave was that the one sided love was and is unfortunate but the holder should realize the message of that love that is to give not to receive. And that the strong love is always one sided and that person has never lose or failed. I loved that message and once again the music aspect of the Bepanah along with the scenes created a heartfelt sensation. Loved that. The concept was good but horror part didn't click well.

Only for the loyal horror audience
rsomeday-7582212 March 2022
Worth watching. Some very scary moments and story will compell you to think about the characters even after movie ends. Suna Suna song is like a cherry on the cake, one of the cult song with its own loyal fan base.

10/10 atmosphere
avijayvargia-0009120 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Characters, writing, dialogue, acting all 0/0.

Hits it out of the park for atmosphere. One song by Shreya Goshal was good, so was the end message.

Horror movies usually aren't coherent when you think back about them, but this movie ties in all the loose ends well. Although the epilogue is a letdown. Main characters are blissfully living their married life, but half a dozen characters have died pointlessly.

I liked the initial psychological devices used to introduce horrror. They didn't want us to believe it was a ghost story from the outset. They probably could have stretched that part more, it was fun.

Sohail and Natassha look good together
espiritlibre26 April 2006
I liked the "Bindas" song. Sohail Khan and Natassha had good chemistry. Sohail's character was sensitive to Isha's character another plus point regarding the film. Overall the film was good and I like the TV serials of the production company (Koi Apna Sa was my favorite on ZEE, although I never had a opportunity to watch every single episode!)

The promos of "Aryan" look good. Sneha is definitely a new face to watch out for...I still have to watch "Lucky". From the advertising of "Aryan" she has potential and can play a teenager which most actresses cannot. Aryan is another summer movie I am looking forward to besides the "DaVinci Code".

Getting back to this picture, my favorite memory is the "Bindas" song, a very catchy, hummable sing-along-with type tune. Everyone should watch the movie and enjoy the fun filled song.

The acting is good considering most of the actors are young. Rati is a fantastic actress, I remember watching her films as a young girl. I am glad she is back!

I am partial to thrillers...most of the Hollywood movies I like watching are of the suspense/horror/psychological thriller variety. I have so much catching up to do as far as Hindi films are concerned. I need to make a list and stick to it. So many foreign movies, so little time.
