I didn't have too many expectations for this movie, but here's what I think (spoilers ahead): the plot was pretty original from what I could tell, especially the end resolution. But I do think it lacked depth. Why choose that particular family, how the villain emerged as this devil, all these things are left to speculation. madhavan's character also really pisses me off. he is NOT a good villain, honestly. I was expecting a cunning and clever villain. He's just sadistic. That's about as deep his character goes. In terms of plot development, there was the start, and then there was the end. That's it. Quite a bit of it in between wasn't fully relevant to the plot and was just... there. I feel like the torment the family went through in the middle of the movie were mostly filler scenes, hardly anything was done to advance the plot. I was getting tired of seeing the family so helpless, because that was literally all that was happening: He tormented them and they were helpless. Then he tormented them some more, and they remained helpless. All of that for more than half the movie. It only starts to pick up after Janvi attempts to kill her brother. The end was better than I'd expected it to be. ... And don't even get me started on how unrealistic everything was. I understand some parts may be unrealistic because I mean, it's a horror/drama movie. But having an eight year old's head smashed til he suffers a concussion, with no medical assistance (not even a makeshift bandage) and then later fall from a roof and then he somehow STILL speaks coherently??? not to mention the fact that Kabir somehow managed to ride a bike in a forest while he has a knife through his hand and a stab wound in his leg. He also single-handedly fights three posessed women who ideally would not be stopped. ... And DEFINITELY don't get me started on the dramatic audio effects, like when janvi was laughing and it kept echoing and there was dramatic overlay. I could NOT take it seriously after that. It reminded me of overly dramticized bollywood shows that our grandmothers watch. And the "Shaitaan" song actually made me cringe. The movie was engaging, but not in a good way. More like, you just kept watching to understand what the actual hell was going on. The movie is nowhere near good. I mean, Good concept, terrible writing. Character's lacked depth, plot lacked depth, and too many loopholes and unrealism.

Up to this day one of my favourite. It's amazing. When you watch it, you understand that poor are not dirty or bad, You also understand the power of friendship. And best, you know not to bully. Then being an owner of 4 amazing dogs, this made me tear up yet laugh at the same measure. This film is a diamond.

This is a really nice movie. I watched it with my grandmother. None of us could stop laughing. ( age should be 13 + ). It's a good take on friendship. The story was gripping and the plot twists were interesting. The end of the movie, good wins.

This was a really new take on making of movies. I enjoyed it and it was refreshing to see something unique taken to the film industry. This gem of a movie is a must-watch. Won't give any spoilers.

This series is awesome. I loved it eventually because of the storyline, which is the highlight of the entire series. It was underwhelming at the start. The acting wasn't that outstanding either. But it got better with what I'm guessing is experience. The character exchanges got better as well. There is a lot of character development seen, especially with Mia. And there are LGBTQ+ characters. Each character was of diverse backgrounds. Some characters are very stereotypical, but some characters like Petal are to contrast. I had extreme loathing for the protagonist, Mia – she was purely cringe-worthy – and she wasn't exactly a role-model at the start but eventually there were some signs that her actions did have some background and she changed. The way the series is shot isn't out of the worldly, but it was good enough. Some shots I could have imagined better. But the storyline definitely makes up for it. The quality was probably not the best but the storyline got me and I loved it. Like I said: I feel like it's the highlight of the entire series. I could watch it again once more just for the storyline. The plot is really good. It was freakishly interesting and kept me hooked. It would have been simply amazing if done a bit better. I think season 2 will be done better because Netflix is taking it up. The first few episodes were somewhat boring and uneventful – but the more you watch the more interesting it gets. I would DEFINITELY recommend it for the storyline. Don't let the starting get to you. The overall series is worth it.
