A Myth Lost in Modernity
Words can't fully capture what I witnessed. First off, Kajol was the perfect choice for this role-she brings a divine presence that no other actress could. Devgan Films is known for producing solid movies with folklore and mythology, so I was really excited to see this one.
However, as the movie progressed, it lost some of its initial impact. The introduction of modern elements like technology and AI felt out of place, pulling away from the traditional folklore vibe. Once a tone is set, it's important to stay true to it, and mixing in modern influences with ancient settings really disrupted the immersion.
Despite being marketed as a horror film, it didn't quite deliver on that front. Instead, it leaned more into a thriller-mystery territory, which is why I'm rating it a 6 instead of a 7. The plot had its inconsistencies-some character decisions didn't make sense, and certain characters were underutilized. The pacing was uneven, with some moments feeling dragged out and others rushed.
While I did enjoy parts of the film, I was left feeling a bit disappointed overall. It's not a bad movie and definitely worth watching, but don't go in with high expectations. Just take it for what it is, and you'll likely enjoy it more. I'm still looking forward to future Devgan films.
