12 O'Clock

Please if you have any brain don't try to use it in this movie.

Worst acting from decent actors, worst script, worst storyline execution. Too boring with no twists. Felt the movie is made just to add number of movies directed under his belt and no other thoughts.

Makrand over acting was not expected and worst. Story line is too stretched and slow moving. Unnecessary abusive words. Bad cinematography with wide lens. Disappointed -----------------------

RGV is getting inspired from YT cheap grade horror flicks I guess. Writing this much is actually more for me for a time waster movie like this one.

A psychopathic killer is shot dead by the cops. But he just refuses to die. His aatma wants to carry on with the act of killing random people. So he enters the body of a college girl and the mayhem continues. The only way to stop the buri aatma is to kill the innocent girl. There was enough scope to create a petrifying, psychological thriller, but this never happens. Performances r decent. Music by MM Keeravani is worth a mention. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. #12OClock rating 2/5.

Horrible movie and story, with even worse direction. What a waste of time. I am surprised how some of the top actors agreed to work in this...rgv is still living in the past and has lost touch over the changing tastes of audiences.

12 'O' Clock review :

In the 90s and early 2000s, Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) redefined horror genre in Bollywood with Raat (1992), Bhoot (2003) and Darna Mana Hai (2003). His latest horror offering titled 12 'O' Clock appears like a pale shadow of these super fine films, particularly Raat and Bhoot.

A college kiddo (Krishna Gautam) from a lower middle class family gets possessed by a ghost of a psycho killer who goes on a killing rampage. The hapless father (Makarand Deshpande) seeks help from one and all - doctor (Ali Asgar), tantrik (Ashish Vidyarthi), police (Manav Kaul) and even a top psychiatrist (Mithun Chakraborty) - but all efforts go in vain.

Admittedly, the film has its moments and some scenes like the girl sleep walking around the house and later, the chilling interaction with her parents has the vintage RGV touch. But some clumsy writing and a highly unsatisfactory climax kills the film completely. The solution given to cure the possessed girl is in very bad taste and will send a wrong message to the society, particularly the superstitious folks. Wonder how a noted director like RGV could even think of ending his film with such tripe!!

Of the cast, Krishna Gautam reminds us of the wonderful Revathi from Raat. Here is an actor to watch out for. Mithun Chakraborty has a small role but leaves a mighty impression. Makarand Deshpande aka Mak is convincing as the hapless paapa. Ashish Vidyarthi overacts in the two scenes he gets. Manav Kaul is earnest as the inspector. And yea, why is the oh so lovely Flora Saini wasted in such an inconsequential role. RGV hasnt utilised her at all. Or has he already planned a sequel which will be entirely based on her character. Well, time will tell!!

Just like any RGV movie (except RGV's foray into porn direction); the premise starts with a boom and ends with dust! A spirit so strong that can control other spirits, then it doesn't even need a body to continue on its killing spree... the script is not ambitious at all!
