The Mumbai location of this flick is very impressive and the main thing that I took from the film.And it has an awe -inspiring musical score. Otherwise it left me a bit cold - and not in a good way.
It's yet another `jumper` - a film relying on people and shadows suddenly appearing next to the protagonist, together with a jarring noise. (When will this trick start to wear us all out, I wonder?) Another recurring trope that I'm starting to notice - and it's used in this film too- is the one where someone's normal face suddenly screams and becomes (via CGI) elongated and puckered.
And there was a post-colonial appropriation of another culture (Hinduism here) too to act as a kind of voodoo style bogeyman (or am I just being too PC?)
The film left me strangely depressed. Perhaps it just took itself too seriously. I'm not one of those people who thinks that horror should be tongue-in-cheek - far from it, but there should be some room in it for a bit of a wink. (I said wink).
