404: Error Not Found

I don't care if it references "The Beautiful Mind" or "1408," because 404 is one example that Bollywood is treading somewhere good.

The cast performance is scintillating, so is the camera work. But I am disappointed with the editing & screenplay. The latter could've been more polished when telling a tale involving psychology & thrills. Talking about spirits & hallucinations, the plot is pure suspense till the last minute. With supports from huge social causes & rendering the actual situation of newbies in medicine colleges, drives the movie as a great entertainer.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended due to its absolute story-telling & spine- chilling climax. You might want to watch the ending twice to completely understand what the writers intend. Bravo!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Watched Prawaal's 404 and the only thing that I can say is this is an "intelligent" movie. Our fears are created by us and we give them names and forms. In a brilliant piece of work Prawaal sends this message clear to all. We came out of the movie wanting more. Great job Prawaal, want to see more of you.Best wishes to your endeavor of giving Indian cinema a different taste every time you create a movie.

The story is simple yet deep. Actors Imaad and Nishikant are brilliant and not to miss Tisca who plays her role to the T.

What amazes me more is that how can such a simple script be dealt with so much class? Every moment in the movie is gripping

Kudos to the director, writer and actor for this movie. I was not sure of watching this movie after watching the trailer, but picked the movie with a friend at half and watched it from the beginning. Well, he was scared for sure. It was not the special effects or the scary faces but the blend of idea that the characters were discussing and the perfectly timed appearances of events in room no. 404.

Satish Kaushik is himself in the movie, his character is always on the safe side of the discussion and he proves it. Tisca Chopra was good and Immad shah could do better than this, after his Dil Dosti etc. Nishikant Kamat delivers a good performance and Rajvvir Arora's character has to be poker face at times but he overdid it.

If you are thinking its based on college ragging, some copied or failed implementation of a great idea, you are wrong. To enjoy the movie it is necessary to be confused than to be sure about the existence of paranormal/what happens after death. The scene just before the curtain drops can haunt you for days.

404 turns out to be a very different experience . An intelligent concept,well thought of and researched work by Director Prawaal RamanTruly a mind game . Brilliant Acting by Imaad ,Nishikant and Tisca. Imaad is just too good as a senior.Nishikant's performance is brilliant and Tisca is excellent.Rajvir Arora is extremely good as this being his debut movie. The movie keeps you engaged all throughout .Prawaal Raman's direction is flawless. The movie makes your mind work all throughout.Very engaging.The climax turns out to be the best. Very unpredictable and you are made to think even after the movie is over. The film is a much watch for people who prefer something different and exciting cinema.

saw 404.. most original script.. never saw such a brilliant film.. a film which is a philosophy in itself.. indeed a piece of art(subash k jha)it conveys a lot more than what appears.. it questions all in every way.. a true classic.. each view has a hidden meaning surfacing..and comparing it to other films is actually true horror..i pity the ignorance of the uneducated viewer.. i saw 1408.. a classic like 404 is way beyond compare with any world cinema..1408 is a regular horror film and other than the digital name nothing is common. 1408 is complete trash in front of 404..

i web searched and not a single film has ever been made on the subject 404 has dealt with... therefor the most original.. i pity those who couldn't understand such classics .. hats off to raman.. and to nishikant kamat and tisca chopra..looking forward for more such work Raman.. and congratulations.. 404 is this years most acclaimed film.. 14 four star ratings out of 23.. not a single film this year is rated so highly,.. congrats..hats off to you raman
