PHOONK 2 - Review

PHOONK 2 - Bollywood-News.IN
Ram Gopal Verma is back with his sequel to ‘Phoonk’. Of course, this one has not been directed by him, but by Milind Gadagkar. ‘Phoonk’ had the crow and now ‘Phoonk 2′ has a doll, which spooks you. The movie starts promisingly well, though it gets a little slow as it goes on but post interval, it shows some real fast movements. Phoonk 2 captures the fear of a family caught hostage to a murderous, animalistic spirit seeking revenge by brutally terrorizing them.

“Phoonk” ends with the killing of Madhu, the woman who casts a black magic spell on Rajiv’s daughter Raksha. Phoonk 2 begins with Madhu’s ghost returning from the grave to seek revenge on the family.
Rajiv moves with his family to a new place. Raksha and her brother Rohan begin exploring the new place and the surroundings — the lonely beach and then the woods behind the house. The action begins with Raksha and Rohan finding a doll in the woods which then progresses to a series of highly disturbing experiences for the whole family.

Manja, who is Rajiv’s best friend and the only person whom he could turn to, meets a horrifying and frightful death at the hands of the black magic woman Madhu’s ghost, in order to seek revenge on Rajiv, by torturing his loved ones.
Debutante director Milind Gadagkar uses every trick possible to make PHOONK 2 work and he was successful to a greater extent. The night shots, secluded bungalow, eerie silence, captivating sound design and crazy camera angles did make a wonderful end product.

Post interval, the real action began, though a number of questions remain unanswered. Questions like what do Amit Sadh and Neeru(Rajiv’s sister and brother-in-law) see in the jungles that they start running helter-skelter? Also, if the spirit could enter a body [in this case, the wife's], where does it disappear when the wife falls off the terrace towards the end?

All these un answered questions, I’m sure will be covered in Phoonk 2’s sequel, as the movie is left open ended, for a sequel to continue.

The sound effects plays a major role in this flick which makes it a horrow film.According to me, the movie introduces the biggest fear that will follow you when you leave the theaters after having watched. It is a movie worth watching.

Phoonk 2 also introduces watch and win contests just like Phoonk movie. You can win Rs. 5 lacs by watching the film alone and with a cardiogram to monitor your heartbeat at the venue. If you are ready to face the fear, SMS “PHOONK2? to 57333.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
