Good movie!
Good movie!
Let me just start by saying that this is my second review, and I'm again writing it because of how underrated the cinematic work is. I don't know why this movie got such a bad rap. It's hard to come by good horror comedies, and this is one of the better ones. The comedy bits are all hysterically hilarious and they had me laughing out loud, which I only do if something is seriously funny. Granted, the way it comes together at the end is quite farfetched, but people need to understand that this is a work of loose fiction and it's meant to be a light watch. I think watching it was time well-spent. If you're wondering whether you should or shouldn't see it based on the terrible aggregate of a rating, throw that statistic and the prejudice that comes with it out the window, and give it a shot. You won't regret it.
This is a horror + Comedy film. These 2 genres don't blend well all the time, so once in a while it's fine to watch this mix.
It's has very good comedy scenes perfect timings. Story not that great. Screenplay was amazing. Climax was usual. Watch it in Tamil
The introduction was a bit different and the twist in the climax was unexpected, otherwise, the movie was a usual comedy-ghost thriller and nothing else was worthy of its mentioning.
I saw some of you saying its good movie.comedy,feel good.. And i learned not to belive review comments in it.. I just wasted.. I feel bad.. Worst comedy. Worst screenplay..
Not feel boring while watching this flick.nobody over acting in this movie..especially muniskanth...he performed well with his unique slang talk..
Horror with Comedy always rocks if you do not see the logics in the film. Enjoy the Cracking Jokes and Special Characters in the film. Watch with Wifes and Girl Friends, you will get lot of fun and laugh. Just for Fun... Enjoy the movie....
Do watch this flick. Rohin is someone to look forward in Tamil Cinema. Decent execution. I won't say perfect. But a much appreciated remake of Anando Brahma There are much more fluent than the original one. Recommended
