I saw a YT video which refered this movie to be Bollywood No 1 horror movie and Tumbad was at no 2, after watching it I must say it is a good movie, but surely not the best one. It is a thriller movie not horror and as per makers it is inspired by real life incident which happened in Nagpur, but still i doubt there no such details available on the net. If we talk about movie, it is a good movie made on a shoe string budget, notebaly movie is produced by Paresh Rawal along with his wife Swaroop. Actors's performances are good, special mention to Mr Boloram Das. The only thing I didn't like about the movie is photography, most of the times the screen is totally dark and you don't know what is happening. It is may be because they wanted to show it realistically but still they could take some cinematic liberty to show the movie in more presentable manner. It is more becomes like a documentary. The movie was released in 2020 and i came to know about it in 2024, some many other gems are hidden in our indian cinema and this is one of them.

I rated KAKUDA a few days ago, thinking they copied idea from STREE and how that movie was so sh**t. And looking forward for STREE 2. But after watching STREE 2, i must say it is just another KAKUDA. Stree 2 has broken all the earlier box office records and how media presenting movie as SHRADDHA KAPOOR MOVIE, leaving talented RAJKUMAR RAO aside. Idea is really good, if you compare with first part, this movie don't stand nearby. Less humour, less spooky. High on budget, high on visual effects. Writing is not up to the mark, unnecessary cameos. No surprise element. Now waiting for BHOOL BHULAIYA 3 .

I dont know who these people are giving 4 and 5 ratings, movie is really bad and full of mistakes. Seems like they are in a hurry and wanted to complete screen writing shooting in a hush hush way. May be they wanted to release it before Stree 2. It is a horror comedy but comedy is nowhere, it is less spooky. Unwanted things are added without logic like sonakshi's double roll was not required. When Gomati is so calm in nature why she was banging on the door. While digging besides the well, how they new the exact place for digging. Joker hat is made of iron???? Only Ritesh's performance is good, Sonakshi and Saqib are just ok. Rather than showing back story in cartoon, the makers should have taken little effort to shooting with real people. In this genre Background score plays important part which is missing here. The movie is being stolen from here and there like lump on the back is taken from a short movie by ALTER (available on YT), basic plot from STREE, Ghost Hunter from Bhoot police etc

SPOILER BELOW So this is "JAB WE MATE" meets "BHOOL BHOOLAIYA" meets " STREE". (After 2 years of this post i will add 1 more movie in this list, GEETHANJALI by priyardashan starring Keerti Suresh and Mohanlal) Combination of these 4 becomes BHOOL BHOOLAIYA 2. Girl meets the boy, takes him to remote village where her big Indian family is there, the boy opens Monjolika's (the ghost) room by mistake and then solves the mystery with Monjolika's sob story at the end and helps her to take the revenge.

Good movie, good performances, music is ok, the reason behind this movie did not worked is chemistry between actors, boman irani and neena gupta does not look like couple even though they do their best as an actor. Four friends, but they dont behave like friends for life, Anupam kher shines in his acting, i could relate to his story because same thing happen to me in real life. Parineeti left ANIMAL for this movie but she hardly has anything to do except in two scenes where she delivers dialogues but they are not really best. Amitabh is always best sticks to his characters. There are multiple side stories keep you emotionally connected and to the main plot and they are realistic as well. Still somewhere this movie does not connect to our soul, may be because i was expecting something different from a Rajshri movie. May be i knew what was going to happen at the end. I will compare this with Amithabh's last outing GOOD BYE, which was better than this one.

One fine day i was walking by a theater and saw this movie poster, everybody was praising, a thought came to mind to watch it but decided to go shopping instead. Last night browsing YT and found somebody uploaded it there. Seen the movie till the end. My reaction to this movie, it is not that praiseworthy that everybody from Bollywood coming out to support. Loud performances, disappointing music, lots of preaching in the name of social messaging. Imdb of this movie is 7/10, i wanted to give 2.5/5 KJ, please make some movies which will be remembered for it's quality and not the money it has made.
