If I could give this movie zero stars, I would. This movie has nothing going for it-choppy editing; nonexistent story; incoherent direction; and hammier acting than a farm full of pigs. Watching paint dry is a better use of 104 minutes of your life.

A gripping thriller that expertly puts you in the shoes of its protagonist.
sudhanshu645428 February 2020
A decent script, a competent cast and crew and, most importantly, the will, time, money and passion to do it all. It's a wonderfully frustrating, rewardingly claustrophobic and tensely insular experience that sticks you right in the slightly off-kilter head of its protagonist and does a great job of making you feel exactly the way she does at every moment. The pace is almost perfect, as we're dealt a number of blows every time we begin to get comfortable in each new situation, and the slow descent from slightly strange to straight-up sinister is a palpable and uncomfortable one, though it isn't pushed quite as far as it perhaps could have been, and it keeps you unsure about everything you see. The nods back to classic seventies horror, It will keep you constantly on the edge of the seat throughout this gripping, agitating, intriguing and generally very entertaining thriller.
Awful, pointless waste of time

Zero rating!
shahrehman-5532613 September 2020
Probably the worst hindi movie of 2020!
Low budget!
Awful acting!
Bad editing!
Director needs to go back to school!
Only positive was the interesting storyline which sadly the director was unable to visualise and masterpiece on screen. This could have been a decent horror flick but I guess when you put together talentless actors with an equally bad casting, editing, directing crew and a low budget, the end result can only be disastrous.
Don't bother it's a total waste of time!

This will haunt you for a very long time!
There are times when we want to sit in bed and watch a horror film. And what makes watching this type of film when you come to know that this film is based on a true story and real people do exist as in the film. Cookie is one such film which is there to haunt you for a very long time.
Same! Don't waste your time!

Switch off your inner critic and enjoy the ride.

I just returned from watching this. Found it totally absorbing. I found the format drew me in, making the viewing very claustrophobic. It is a very interesting horror movie. Just switch off your inner critic and enjoy the ride on the edge of your seat.
An honest effort to showcase a genuine problem with a tinge of horror
stirthankar28 February 2020
I really loved the movie. It showcases a genuine problem in most of the families. The horror part actually scare you in most part of the movie. I would say its a perfect amalgamation of a content based story with spine chilling scenes. The modern teen problem issue is very well addressed in the movie. There are few scenes which have left an unforgettable impression in my mind. One more thing I liked about the movie is that it broke away from the traditional night horror scenes and venture even into the day light horror scenes. Although the actors are not well known, but their efforts are good and the story and the screenplay adds on to the efforts. Rarely you get to see a horror movie which is driven by a good story rather than the horror itself. I must admit, after a long time I saw a good horror movie. As a parent myself, I am left with so many questions and thoughts after watching this movie.
Watch this Amazing movie
rohitsin-8907428 February 2020
As a fan this horror movie is amazing, I was excited to watch it and I expected more from the director since he is definitely comfortable with this genre. The performances are fantastic and the story was too good in this movie, And director Lalit Marathe is direct this movie is too good and very cray. I think you have must watch this movie!!!!!!!!!!!
An awesome movie...gave me goosebumps
sunshinearun28 February 2020
Hats off to the producer for coning out with such a fantastic movie which has a amazing content .subject and theme.The movie is contemporary and relates to present day families especially in urban set up like my present location Kolkata. the movie has compelled me to think on aspects which we generally overlook in day to day life. I loved the creativity in the movie for the type of bone chilling scenes, which I was missing in Indian horror movies. The actors are not known so I went with a very low expectation, but the director and the graphics in the movie have overcome the shortcomings. I came out of the movie overwhelmed and with lots of thoughts. AND CERTAINLY SOME OF THE SCENES WHICH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS. Cookie could be the next door neighbor's kid whom I see almost on a daily basis...
A genuine nightmare
rahusing-3418428 February 2020
This is a bit of an old fashioned horror movie. Something that plays as a dramatic movie first and then slowly becomes something else. Like "Rosemary" or "Exorcist" but without the high profile clout of those directors. This is two hours of an exploration of family tragedy and grief through characters struggling to something very scary.
To say much of this film is to ruin it, so lashing praise onto certain aspects of it is the best one can do.
It turns into a genuine nightmare that absolutely worked for me. See it blind, see it as a movie first and foremost (not as a horror show with jump scares), but just see it.
Making is good
raagdeshthefilm28 February 2020
Director Lalit Marathe's COOKIE which means cuckooed or say fear of watching your loved one going crazy weird and lost. Lalit Marathe nicely blends this supernatural horror drama with tried and tested traits and is able to spin a wheel of a mystical air in the story of Cookie. Not a challenging jump scare but a decent scare fest with relatable emotions and characters. The film is technically sound with Tuhin Chongder and Somraj Ganguli's music creating the eerie feeling. Cinematography by Sudip Sengupta creates right moods with his effective lighting and shot taking technics.
Real Horror Fans will like it
poonamyadavk28 February 2020
It is probably the best looking Horror Hindi film I have ever seen. Vibhoutee Sharma acting two characters in this movie and both of character her performances were wonderful, the visualization and screenplay is superb, Dialogues are so Amazing.
"Cookie" is an original and entertaining horror thriller.
arysin28 February 2020
Kudos to the all-rounder Lalit Marathe and his team. They have presented and absolutely thriller-Horror movie of this year till yet. The role of the parents was also amazing and they have justified with the role. Shown how much you care for your child. Well played a role by Vibhoutee Sharma too. Great musicality gave this movie a more of the horror touch
Nailbiter thriller but take plot with a grain of salt
adonisubennettp28 February 2020
Cookie is a part psychological thriller with a horror storyline. This film was intriguing but uncomfortable to watch, and one scene of a beloved character was so violent, I took that as my cue to use the restroom. As it progressed the torture of our character and those around her seemed pushed unnecessarily far, earning the horror genre. The script was engaging and had levels of complexity. Vibhoutee's acting was wrenching and superb - her character was not easy to like, but earned our support almost right away and seemed a fighter. Overall, I would recommend this film, but be aware it is pretty dark and a rough ride.
Best Horror Movie

Very Scary Movie
risku-8056628 February 2020
Fantastic movie....such a scary & beautiful story and many amazing songs. Something different? of course, just sweet & talented Vibhoutee Sharma is incredible...Exactly...This movie would break all records, be sure to watch it.
A great horror- story.
aryansin-1672328 February 2020
The tone of the film Cookie is extremely dark and unsettling and makes good use of its limited locations. The script is well written, with effective dialogue and plot elements keeping it moving at a brisk pace with enough twists and turns to keep almost anyone's interest. At the core, this does remain a terrific horror film, but as far as horror films go, this is about as original as one can possibly expect. Highly recommended.
We love Vibhoutee Sharma !!!!!!
vku-1825028 February 2020
Vibhoutee is one of a kind Amazing. Of course, Vibhoutee Sharma with her outstanding acting skills, gorgeous looks, and contagious charm should be in Bollywood. And there acting is too good in this movie. She looks very different and Scary in this movie.

Interesting and Clever
armanivpowelln28 February 2020
I finally got to see this anticipated film! The film follows a young woman, played by Vibhoutee Sharma who is the daughter of two top psychiatrists' parents.. I was so excited to see Cookie because I loved the idea and its an awesome trailer and what did I think; weeeeell, apart from a few small differences than to what I expected, it was an awesome horror film. The acting was superb and it was very clever and very intense. Rajeev Gupta was amazing as well and so was Heeba Shah (i forget his second name, but he played an amazing role) I mean what the hell, It was fun to see this movie. Cookie is a clever, intense and very atmospheric movie with great acting that keeps it fresh!
I thought the movie was entertaining. Lots of "OMG" moments
ramkr-3917128 February 2020
For a low budget movie, it really kept my interest. The acting was really good. There was a lot of situation where it likes......"yea right, that's not how this works", but it's good for entertainment and progression of the movie. There were certain scenes that were kind of scary.. like OMG.......did that really just happen? Worth watching.
Amazing Concept this movie Thanks Lalit Marathe!!
akah-9903028 February 2020
This movie is amazing and there are so many things that could have gone wrong with. This movie is best off all well acted and well written. The great character development that is based on things people would actually do if they faced that situation. I must say, I am very impressed. Almost Walking Dead impressed. This film though is way more deranged then Walking Dead though. Keep it up, Lalit Marathe.
Amazing Scary Movie Good Job Vibhoutee Sharma
sourabhsunn28 February 2020
The Concept of this movie is too good. The film does scare you but not at an intense level - the story is good enough showing in some thriller, suspense, and twists. Sounds of this movie are very scared and Entertaining.
A gripping thriller that expertly keeps you going with fear.
sinayan-1977728 February 2020
