Ghost Stories (2020)
7/10
Bold and Experimental except Karan Johar's one.

First of all, I appreciate the bold and experimental look of the movie. I always look forward to a good anthology film. Now there are 4 stories in it, let's look at each Director's work -

Zoya Akhtar - 7/10 - Tried to capture an eery feeling but couldn't because of the actors and pacing.

Anurag Kashyap - 9/10 - Wow, This is Kashyap's version of 'The Witch'. Bold and experimental. Didn't hold back to tell an abstract film with a creepy subtext and strange direction choices in a good way.

Dibakar Banerjee - 8.5/10 - Most experimental story of all. The metaphorical comparison of urban-rural connection was handled well. I also liked the political statement presented by the director.

Hmm, Good and great stories by far so why the low rating. That's because - Karan Johar - 5/10 - Just leave it, man. This is not your genre. Such a cheap attempt to approach the story like those short horror stories I used to watch on television when I was a kid.
