This movie is an absolute waste of time. Don't read the other reviews and believe them. This movie is disappointment incarnate. Idk how the actors even decided to audition for this film. It is absolute garbage. No horror. Nothing psychological. The script/storyline is non existent. The characters are bland and dead and none of them have any sort of chemistry even with each other. I have watched softcore flicks and B grade films that have better stories than this. The plot twist at the end is laughable and predictable. Don't waste your time. Go rewatch a movie you like instead.

I was looking forward to this movie because of the book, but despite good acting from the actors, and everyone involved, the movie felt rushed. There was no character development. Some of them didn't even get an intro. Especially the main villain. The art direction, special effects, etc were all good. The direction and overall storytelling was a little too simple and bland.

The overall concept of the movie is good with the immigrant family themes, the struggles of fitting in, the introduction of stories and lore from other cultures. That's all fine but the way the movie has been handled is downright annoying. The 'Pisach' which is a demonic entity from Indian culture, keeps going from Demon to Monster (hardcore Horror fans will be able to easily discern what I'm saying) time and time again. The main character has all the basic horror protagonist tropes. The overall execution of the movie is a little random. Not saying it's the worst horror movie but it could have definitely been better owing to the fact that there's enough information on the subject available freely. Many of the concepts have been westernized and overall doesn't sit right with someone who is familiar with them.

One of the best movies I have ever watched. It certainly makes my Top 10 movies list of all time. Not just Bollywood, but I mean including all movies I have ever watched. Fantastic writing, Fantastic story, Acting, Cinematography, direction, everything is top notch and then some. I highly recommend it. That's all I can say about it, coz if you havent watched it then you are truly missing out on something epic. Hats off to everyone involved in the production of this movie.
