Junglemahal: The Awakening

The movie captures the location and settings of rural, interior eastern mountain ghats and jungles of Bihar like never before. It captivates the audience right from the start and probably holds them till the end. Full marks to Cinematography and the DOP. Use of lights was done exceptionally well in the constrained budget. Actors were decent although there wasn't much scope for performance given the weakest link of the movie - script and screenplay. It's an average story described in a stale way, thus leaving very little for the actors. Overall, the movie does succeed to haunt you in some parts.

Well,i think that this movie is Horror thriller and full of suspense. Arunava Chowdhary has executed this movie in good order and the Dialogues in the movie were excellent. The timing of music and the scare scenes were all excellent.

I didn't really know that was this movie was based on real event, if it was in found footage format the merit of this movie would've been sky-high .

All the characters were amazing and i think this movie is Masoomeh's turning point in her career. I request you to watch this Horror,thriller movie and Analyse how the parallel cinema is making efforts to improve there art in these kind of the movies.

Another thriller by the Hindi Parallel Cinema, and they dont fail to deliver! This movie is destined for great things!!! Not at all predictable, this thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing the entire time.

In a nutshell the movie is about a young people who travelled to a haunted house for reaserch . And things they encounter during their journey and the hidden threats they should face .

Excellent performances by both the male and female leads . The supporting actors were pretty decent too. This is a movie thats worth spending your time to watch, so hurry and catch it, you wont be disappointed!

Constantly something creepy happening on the screen and you don't have any time to catch your breath. Out of all the horror movies I've seen this is one of the few that actually had a scene that caught me off guard. I think it is a pretty scary horror movie which you can enjoy safely with your family as there are no explicit scene. Furthermore, you can experience something unusual watching horror movie set in Kolkata. I really recommended this film for those that love horror film. If I have to give a score for this film as a horror I would rate it 10 out of 10. Give this trailer a try first...

Film Review: Jungle Mahal : The Awakening Streaming free on YouTube!!

I happened to stumble upon this one ( literally 🙂) during one my YouTube searches. This film is a brilliantly made horror film directed by Arunava Choudhary.

Loosely based on true events & set in the 80's during the peak of the Naxalite uprising , a group of 5 travellers find themselves stranded in the dense jungles somewhere in Bihar & are forced to take refuge in an abandoned forest guest house in the middle of nowhere. As time passes, strange things start happening and it becomes a matter of survival for our protagonists.

The film has been shot with a retro theme which adds to the charm of this period flick. Dense eerie jungles, a dilapidated bungalow, oil lit lamps, old black and white photographs go a long way in showcasing the nostalgic look of a bygone era and at the same time beautifully create a feeling of horror and unease as the film progresses. Doesn't rely on blood & gore at all and yet manages to send a shiver down ur spine !!

Cast of the film ( mostly unknown !! ) Deserve a special mention - Masoomeh Ab · Aditya Baliyan · Farhad Khairy · Suraiya Parvin · Amit Raina · Prashant Shinde.

Somehow such brilliantly made films that r on par with Cult Classics like " The Blair Witch Project" or " Paranormal Activity" never seem to do well or find an audience here in India .. a travesty indeed!! Probably absence of big names in the starcast also ends up pulling the film down 😔

If you r a true horror film buff then u will definitely find this enjoyable!!

Going with 3.5/5 for this... Adios 🙂!!
