Raghav and Tapsee Pannu work in a TV channel where TRPs are going down. In order to get TRPs back, Tapsee Pannu take Raghav and other team members to a haunted place in order to prepare a scripted horror show. However after stumbling upon a mangalsutra during the shoot, mysterious things start happening with them and in some time, Raghav and Tapsee get possessed by revenge seeking souls. Are these ghosts able to seek revenge? Are these good or bad soul? Are these ghosts related in any way to Raghav and Tapsee and what happens to Raghav and Tapsee forms the rest of the story?
Movie is fast paced and laced with comedy, horror and thrilling moments all throughout. However once Tapsee gets possessed the movie goes to another level with fun and thrill quotient. The idea of climax is good but is shoddily done. Director and writer should have been more innovative with the climax. The two characters who play mothers of Raghav and Tapsee are too loud and spoils the party. Background music is good, camera works also good, However VFX could have been a lot better.
Raghav plays quintessential massy hero, a timid boy and possessed guy with aplomb. Tapsee did very well as a confident working girl, sweet loving girlfriend and girl possessed by an unhappy and unfulfilled soul. Nithya Menon who plays physically challenged girl was successful in evoking required strong emotions during various stages of her character.
Overall i would say it's a good commercial horror comedy which could have been better had they been more careful with VFX, Climax and those 2 loud characters mentioned above.
