404 (2011) *LQ*

404 is a title aimed at today’s internet junkies and youngsters. It’s intriguing enough to find out why a film is titled so. It’s a smart move by the makers of this psychological thriller. Speaking of psychological thrillers, we haven’t seen one in Bollywood since a long time. So it’s a welcome change amidst the rom-coms and love stories.

Mallika (2010) *LQ*

Certain stories that the Ramsay Brothers attempted a few decades ago are being rehashed and packaged in new avtaars to this date. The revenge of the restless soul, the reincarnation bit, the spate of murders, the decomposed dead body coming to life… haven’t we watched it all in the past? MALLIKA is hackneyed, uninspired and clichéd from start to end. Also, there’s nothing in the film that would make you jump out of your seat or give you sleepless nights at home. On the contrary, the film is unintentionally funny and also makes you chuckle at the absurdities at several points in the story.

Cast: Sameer Dattani, Himanshu Mallik, Pooja Ballutia

Phoonk 2 (2010) *HQ*

A phoonk that mere nips at you, gives you goose pimples now and then but never blows you away.In Phoonk 2, Ram Gopal Varma recedes into the shadows and lets writer Milind Gadagkar (who penned Phoonk) step forth and wield the director’s reins. But there’s a great deal of Ramu’s stamp to be seen in the debutant director’s work.It’s as if Ramu turned a ghost director (pun unintended) for this horror film and called the shots from afar.

Cast: Sudeep,Neeru Bajwa,Amruta Khanvilkar
