Be greatful you have it on Netflix to forward every now and then. As gripping as the trailer seems, it's also revealing in how confused the central concept is. 108 chants is of Hindu origin, Satan a Christian concept and Shaitan a Muslim interpretation of it. Then there is a nod to MCU'S multiverse in the name of an evolving culture. Over all it felt like an idiots attempt at secularism. At the risk of plot reveal- we are taken through the torturously slow journey of a family through mind control, physical and mental abuse, manipulation, coercion and finally abduction. Turns out there have been 107 such families that had suffered the same fate. Dear review reader as long as we keep forgiving such plot holes we will be subjected such nonsense plot lines. Here are my objections: In this day and age of social media - the movie has no threat/record/reels of such a person And society isn't on a high alert after 107 missing girls. Sublingual drug, given through a ladoo in this case, tunes a teenagers mind to specific persons speech... And it's not the first voice she hears... I had a "hmmmm??" moment there. 57 such cases already filed with the police but no leads, seriously? What do these film makers take our police force for? Logistics of abducting, feeding, clothing, managing 107 menstruating girls for the span of 2-3 years - Without detection... By a mind controlling genius... Then there is the climactic tongue chop n burn, and the voice recording that frees the hypnotized. Almost sounds like a plot one could cook up over a pint of beer. When you think the movie is over you'll get to Ajay devagan's final monologue - I almost had the urge to give a slow clap (keep in mind kikus bumper lottery style clap) and ask " whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaayyyyyy"

I'd you plan to watch the movie, it's a perfect one for your 3 to 99 year old absolute 5 star movie. As for play- anyone above 6 years may be disappointed. Consider 2 stars for the play. It's a same old childish nonsense we were subjected to in 80s and 90s. Generic message for toddlers. In addition to that script has missed the essence of the protagonist. Bokya (from Dilip Prabhavalkar's writing) is all about being probing and scheming (भोचक) while aiming to do good (सत्कर्मी). In current script the kid could have been ANY kid. The kids (मित्रमंडळ) that follows बोक्या is yet another key factor missing from the play script. We can blame the logistics for excluding this from the play. 100% for actors efforts, make up, costumes and production delivery. The team is enjoying the marketing and merchandise venture since we haven't had any kids commercial plays in a very long time. In absence of a strong script, it's not something people will recommend to each other.
