Whilst travelling, a patrol cop halts the car and interrogates them on the account of suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, but Prem bribes him into letting them go. The same night they begin to encounter weird situations in the forest…
Reviews:
“From Vedita Pratap Singh’s atrocious acting to Karanvir Bohra’s idiotic spoilt brat act to Veena Malik’s flying ghost antics, Mumbai 125 KM gives you enough opportunities to point and laugh … The CGI is shabbily done and the stereoscopic 3D effect is hardly noticeable. You would wish even you could fly from theatres as Veena Malik’s ghost does in the film.” Bryan Durham, Daily News and Analysis India
“The 3D, worthless as ever, isn’t post-converted for a change, with the use of stereoscopic cameras. This is a schoolboy error because the entire film is shot at night. The filmmakers try to overcompensate by lighting up every scene like the moon (you can literally see the source), thereby making this look like a grainy animated disaster.” Rahul Desai, Mumbai Mirror
“Somewhere in the middle of this unwittingly hilarious journey, as the characters foolishly stop the car innumerable times, trying to help out random, strange ghosts coming out of the jungle, you stop caring if any of them is left dead or alive. They seemed too stupid to be left alive anyway.” Shubha Shetty-Saha, Mid-Day.com
