I found an option to watch the movie Haunted 3D on 23th-May-2011 & after elapse of around 17 days since its release. As already 17 days were passed I went to the theatre with a pre-calculative mind of obtaining the tickets easily. But Vikram Bhatt’s creation proved all my calculations erroneous. It was a very tight & fight situation near the theatre. Audience seemed to be very impatient to penetrate in to the theatre with their partners. The cost of ticket was almost the double than the used to price because it is believed to be the foremost 3D Stereoscopic 3D Horror & the first ever Indian movie to be shot in 3D Format. So, I needed a Divyadrusti to view the movie which was available just there with a refundable amount of 100 rupees. Being prepared in all respect I stepped in to the theater.The 3D concept played a chief role in linking the attention of the audience with the movie. The background music guarded the percentage of horror. But yes, the on screen appearance satisfied the background music or you may take the vice-versa. The 3D concept made the movie livelier. Story wise a little deviation was observed. The story leads to the release the spirit of Meera, the female lead, from Iyer, the obsessed & Evil spirit with the assistance of the God by Rehan, the male lead of the movie. Both the halves were able to maintain the anxiousness in audience. Some of the scenes were really excellent except those whom you definitely liked & those are-
- The appearance of Meera on the steps in requesting Rehan not to interfere in between as she had to suffer more by such acts of Rehan.
- The formation of image of palm on the glass.
- The video the psychic’s request to Rehan to leave the place for God’s shake as the spirit was fully obsessed & evil one.
- & many more ...
The two times Filmfare Best Director Nominated director continued his experimentations with introducing new faces. But like all time he must get appreciations in this act of experiments. The Dada’s Son Mahakshay Chakraborty was quite matured in his appearance. Tia Bajpai, the finalist of 2005 Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge & the holder of small screen experiences, was introduced in this movie. She was up to the mark in her role. She did a fabulous job on screen to tie up the Audience for 143 minutes. Basically the movie was very much limited in characterization as not having many castings. Iyer looked to be quite comfortable in his on screen appearance.
Efforts were given to make the movie to be rich in Horror, Romance, Music, Suspense & Dancing. But it reached to the expectations. Location was just like the former horror movies. But in story a little deviation or flavour was added. 3D concept was one of the trend setters for the movie except the new introduced face. But altogether I would appreciate all the creative team with the whole cast & crew in creating such a nice movie & expect something more different in future also. I got entertained & returned out of the theatre with a satisfaction of my investment.
Note:
- If anyone moves 80 years back from 2011 he would definitely not reach to 1936.
