Plot teaser:
Sanjana is haunted by nightmares and vivid visions of a murder that took place in her house. Unable to take it any longer, Sanjana decides to go for a vacation, hoping that those visions will stop chasing her. She stays at a deserted fort-turned resort in Rajasthan. However, little does she know that things are going to go from bad to worse at the fort, which holds a dark secret…
Review:
“Now we don’t know why the film makers made this film. And we don’t know who they made it for? Is it for the usual horror film buff who has been recently wowed by stuff like Paranormal Activity? Is it for the comedy film buff who has just sampled the delicious satire Peepli Live and laughed his head off in Tere bin Laden? Or is it for the C-grade smut film viewer who anyway will end up grumbling despite the fact that the film has just two kind of scenes alternating with each other: a girl in a bath tub (or under a shower) and a girl in the bedroom. Why? Because the girls mostly resemble zombies and it’s hard to differentiate between the ghost girls and the flesh and blood girls…” Nikhat Kazmi, The Times of India
