After an attempt to revisit Grudge in desi cinema, here’s one more Hollywood style slasher film that makes its debut on the native screen. Reminiscent of the I Know What You Did Last Summer series, Hide and Seek follows a similar format of chasing a bunch of friends through time, in order to settle a few forgotten scores from the sordid past.
Cast: Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Sameer Kochhar

While as a film critic you try and abandon any preconceived bias before you watch a film, it is unavoidable that when you walk into a theatre to watch a film called Right Yaa Wrong (Missing an extra ‘a’ there, am I?), you feel pretty much like the proverbial lamb to the slaughter. Face it: under normal movie-going circumstances; I wouldn’t be caught dead in a theatre screening this (or most other films that I review, for that matter).’
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Sunny Deol, Konkona Sen Sharma

We’ve all seen it before in one film or another.A haunted house, blood dripping down from ceiling, windows pushed open by strong gusts of wind, lights going off at most unexpected moments, the swing in the garden moving on its own, possessed women in possession of sharp objects (read knives and stilettos) and scary looking tantrics with their gobbledegook about evil spirits and exorcism.So what does director Rajesh Ranshinge’s horror film Rokkk offer that’s new.Pretty little.

Mouse sweet mouse. He stumbles, bumbles, mumbles for as many as four years at a swankyish office. A cross between Rocket Singh and Woody Allen, he writes up a thousand-plus emails but doesn’t send them to the gorgeous woman in that see-through cabin who seems to be doing damn-all.Evidently, this guy’s not headed for any hall of fame or ill-fame. He’s just a crashing bore.
Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Deepika Padukone

It’s a touch galling to see a movie dealing with an ingenious mathematical theory of probable outcomes having so little brain of its own self.For starters, let’s dump aside the obvious comparison between Teen Patti and the Hollywood film ‘21’ from which the co-writers Leena Yadav and Shiv Subramaniam have borrowed audaciously, liberally and without as much as the slightest prick of conscience (what’s that!).
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Sir Ben Kingsley, R Madhavan

The scares are scarce. And the ones that are don’t exactly leave you with sweaty palms, electrified hair or shaky bum on the edge of the seat.The scares in Sangeeth Sivan’s horror flick Click at the most tickle you, tingle you and make your heart skip a beat less often than it should have. Reason?The director mostly resorts to all the tried-and-tested formulas in the annals of horror genre to spook the daylights out of the viewers.
Cast: Shreyas Talpade, Sada, Sneha Ullal
