Story
Due to a camera not working, the shooting of a film about to be completed gets delayed. Since there are two days of time left, the unit decides to spend the night at a nearby forest. The team has the assistant director (nitin), heroine Asha (priyanka), hero (gautham), producer Murthy (ishrat), director JJ (harvey), spot boy Laxman (ishteyak) along with the forest guide Sethu (joy), stunt master Rakka (Ravi kale), Sameera (Rasika). Sethu is the only guy knowing the jungle terrain but the next morning he is found dead. Before the unit realizes, another member gets killed and they realize that there is some unknown force that is killing them all. Whether they manage to escape from death or not forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Nitin has come up with a better performance this time and he has shown good physique and dance steps. Priyanka Kothari was a screen scorcher and her sex appeal was enticing. Ishrat Ali was entertaining for a while, Ravi Kale was neat, Gautam was good, Rasika looked luscious and did her bit well, Sethu was alright, Harvey was effective, Ishteyaq Khan was neat.
Technical aspects
The script has not been that good and there were open ends, the screenplay just synced well with the script. The real credit goes to the background score and the cinematography for some mesmerizing work. Editing was also apt, costumes were simple and the locations chosen were perfect. Dialogues were normal and the pace of the film was moderate.
Director’s portrayal
The director attempted to depict an adventure thriller mixed with chills and shock points but the truth is the narrative was so weak that there was nothing for him to do. He had a weak script to begin with and could not bring in enough flavour to create a curiosity among the audience. The story had no depth and the director was focused on the technical side of it without looking at the content and a message to the audience.
Critic’s view
The film is exclusive to a particular set of audience and even they would not have the required elements of entertainment this time. It looked like the film was stopped abruptly and all the viewers had to see in the end was just to wait for a sequel to happen. The fundamental for any film would be to either create twists during the movie and then create excitement for a sequel or close it in the first part. Neither happened with this movie and it was a disappointment in store given the expectations from Ramu.
