Lupt

During lockdown was searching for a horror movie and came across Lupt on Netflix. Lupt is a decent movie and yes not very gory and thankfully no sex and unnecessary songs. Direction is good, screenplay is good but storyline is same old and cliche. I liked Niki Walia and Vijay Raaz. Jaaved Jaaferi at some scenes i felt he over acted or may be the scene demanded. Rishab Chadha was good. Meenakshi is not bad. others were average. Overall it is a decent bollywood horror.

It's a little slow film. A family on vacation are lost Their family member are killed. A claustrophobic story with an excellent performance by Jaaved Jaaferi, Vijay Raaz and Niki Walia. The boy who does prank is also very good in the film. The scares were... well there weren't many. Don't expect Lupt to be an exclusive horror film. Its a thriller and focussing more on emotional drama. like i said its a slow film. The direction is not bad. Story could have been better. what i liked the best is the title song. Very well composed. The makers should have promoted the title track of the film instead, they heavily promoted "Bhoot Hoon Mai song". The ending was a little fumbled, but otherwise it was quite enjoyable for me. 6/10

Watched this Hindi movie with subtitles and like sat through. Acting of some actors are good. The direction is neat. It is emotional film. Yes not scary. Simple story. The background music is good but in some places its little loud. VFX could have been better. This father character acted very well and the stranger on the road also acted very well. Like the momentum of few scenes. giving 5/10

During lockdown the only entertainment was watching movies. Got to see Lupt on Netflix. There were some common horror cliches here. No network, car breakdown, getting lost on a strange road. However, I think that thats the case with most horror films. Moral of the story - always follow the known road and don't take shortcuts on trips because people that are close to you will either get murdered by a ghost, or go crazy, do something stupid and kill themselves. Nothing really special. Jaaved Jaaferi was good, Vijay Raaz is always the best, Rishab's comic timing was not bad, others were average. Story could have been better. Dialogues were ok. Direction was not bad. VFX not good. Although the plot twist was slightly predictable this was an overall one time watch for me. Giving 5/10

My friend suggested me to watch Lupt saying it's a good horror movie. I have read some good reviews about this film. So took a chance and watched Lupt on Netflix. I wanted to see horror in the film, but it turned out to be a thriller for me. Not that movie is bad but its not my kind of film. Yes, the premise was good, but it is more of drama and some lengthy scenes. I don't think typical horror fans will like this film. The movie should have been promoted as a thriller and not as horror. Maybe I watched the full film because of Vijay Raaz and some good scenes of Jaaved Jaaferi. I am giving 5 stars for only for its decent acting and to the director for taking so much effort and making a film. If the director could have managed to tweak the story and make it a hardcore horror ,it would have been worked according to me.
