Rocky
(Dino Moreo), Gehna, Rajat, Nikhil and Riya are Mahek’s close friends.
Seeing her in this state, they become worried.
In
college, Mahek soon strikes a friendship with a new lad, Suraj (Karan
Nath).
So,
all of them decide to help this girl in some way so that she overcomes
her shock.
All
goes well, until one night Mahek is attacked by a masked figure.
In
the scuffle that follows, she manages to escape.
She
becomes paranoid thinking that Suraj is the killer in disguise.
In
another attempt that follows, the killer comes face to face with
one of her friends.
In the fight that follows, the masked figure is killed.
With
the nightmare over, everyone decides to take a holiday break in
Thailand.
But
as they depart for their exotic destination, another twist shocks
them all.
Mahek’s
mother is murdered and the police find someone else behind the masked
killer.
Fearing
for their own lives, the youngsters decide to hide on a secluded
island in Thailand for a few days.
But
fast on their trail is the killer. One by one Mahek’s friends get
murdered.
How
the mystery is solved forms the climax of this Bollywood horror.
The
film starts off on a nail biting note as it revolves around the
identity of the killer. This
lays the foundation for some edge of the seat entertainment.
Sequences
involving Mahek’s attack and her mother’s murder are effective enough
to send a shiver down your spine.
The
climax should have been brief and swift instead of being stretched
out. This
dilutes the fear intensity as we get to know the killer.
Technically,
the film deserves top marks.
Excellent
visuals, a great cast combination and melodious musical score adds
to the enjoyment of the film.
Dino’s
performance deserves a mention. He plays the character of the jealous
lover with perfection.
His
acting abilities is definitely improving with each film.
Karan
Nath supports well whilst Tanisha does her bit with conviction considering
that this is her debut film.
On
the whole the film is doing good business in UK cinemas due to its
fresh cast and slick look.
The
film's release near Halloween time has also helped box office collection
due to its scary and horror undertone.
