    It's going to be a masterpiece

    Nikita roy is such a fantastic movie which horror suspense fans will love most We should appreciate films like this. Now coming back to review nice performance by actors🌟, nice cinematography🌟, nice storyline🌟 and most likely nice sound effects🌟 and one more star for the climax🌟 it's just not a horror movie but also the philosophy behind it is interesting. I appreciate the work of whole team specially sonakshi and paresh rawal jii and as I became the fan of sound effects, Not a single time movie feels boring. A must watch film and also you can enjoy it how much time you want. I also think if I would have saw this on big screens and recommendit too. I recommend you to watch this world class quality film and enjoy.also big appreciation to kush sinha As director.

    Waste of time

    I had high hopes when I sat down to watch this film, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most predictable and uninspiring movies I've seen in a long time. Within the first 30 minutes, I could already tell exactly how the story was going to unfold, and sadly, I was right. There were no surprises, no twists, no emotional build-up-just a flat, uninspired storyline that dragged from beginning to end.

    Let's start with the acting. It felt wooden and lifeless throughout. None of the characters felt real or relatable except Paresh Rawal. But his role and character was soo obvious that his good acting didn't help. It was almost as if the male lead was just going through the motions, reading lines rather than actually performing or conveying any genuine emotion. There wasn't a single performance that stood out or made me feel connected to the characters. Whether it was a dramatic moment or a supposedly lighthearted scene, everything was delivered with the same dull, expressionless or overexpressive tone. It made it very difficult to care about what happened to any of them.

    The direction didn't help either. There was no sense of vision or creativity behind the camera. Every scene felt generic, as if it had been copied and pasted from dozens of other low-effort films. The pacing was all over the place-some scenes dragged on for far too long, while others were rushed through so quickly that they lost all impact. There was no rhythm, no build-up, and no sense of immersion. It felt like a series of disconnected events that never quite formed a coherent or compelling narrative.

    Speaking of narrative, the story itself was extremely weak. The premise had potential, but it was completely wasted. Instead of exploring the characters or presenting interesting dilemmas, the film settled for the most clichéd and overused plot points imaginable. You could literally guess what each character was going to do next. Every "twist" was painfully obvious and telegraphed long in advance. There was no tension or suspense, no stakes to keep the viewer engaged. It was like watching a checklist of tired tropes being ticked off one by one.

    Even the storytelling-the way the film attempted to deliver its story-was flat and uninspired. There was no emotional depth, no thematic exploration, and no creative risks taken. The film didn't trust its audience to think or feel-it just spoon-fed everything in the most boring, straightforward way possible. Moments that were clearly supposed to be powerful or moving fell completely flat due to the lack of proper buildup or character development. It was frustrating to see so much potential squandered.

    The cinematography, music, and editing were equally forgettable. There was nothing visually striking or stylistically unique about the film. The soundtrack didn't enhance the mood-it was just background noise. Editing choices were clumsy, with awkward transitions and a lack of flow that made the entire experience feel disjointed.

    By the halfway point, I was just waiting for it to end. I kept hoping for some kind of redemption, maybe a twist or a bold move that would turn things around-but it never came. The film simply limped toward its painfully predictable conclusion, offering nothing memorable or meaningful along the way.

    In short, this movie was a major disappointment. From the acting and direction to the story and presentation, everything felt half-baked and uninspired. If you're looking for something engaging, emotional, or even remotely original, I strongly suggest skipping this one. There are far better ways to spend your time. Watching this felt like a complete waste of two hours. Not recommended.

    Could have been much much better

    Don't go with the 10-star reviews.

    Either they are paid, or they don't know anything about movies.

    Nikita Roy had a good concept. Acting was good too from all the lead except a few over-acted scenes from Sonakshi.

    Somewhere it all boiled down to the direction. Abrupt scene endings. No character development. The horror was just superfluous. That killed the movie. They could have focussed so much on the cult, but all the spotlight was on Sonakshi, considering the director is her brother. She did act well but in a movie like these, there is so much to play with. It could have developed it into much more as it had all the elements of horror and thriller. But it fails.
