Review of Rog

Rog (2005)
One more erotic thriller movie after Jism and Inteqaam
4 February 2005
ROG produced by Pooja Bhatt who tasted her first success as a producer with Jism, so she thought to go ahead with such kind of genre and taste the success again but sorry Pooja this time you went wrong as you went wrong with your directorial debut movie Paap where you promoted it as a Sex Movie Jism Part 2 which it was not and because of this reason it was rejected by the audience. Rog was screened last year in Pakistan at Kara Film Festival and Paap was also screened in 2003.

The film is about Ilene Hamann around whom the story of 'Rog' moves. She heads for an ad man Suhel Seth and soon their life flow peacefully. But, the silence turns deadly when one day she is found dead.

Then the story takes the turn that who has done this? What was the motive behind this brutal act against a woman? And, it is here when the investigating officer Irfaan Khan enters the scene. First he considers it as a usual crime case, but soon realizes that it is not as simple. Hamann's daydream makes him fanatical. Is he sick? But, this is only the start of the confusion that he is going to lead into.

What could have been an edge-of-the-seat thriller loses focus soon after the principal characters are introduced. The climax is insensible that whatever shocks a few sequences created just disappear. Even the identity of the murderer does not come as a shock.

The worst writing by Mahesh Bhatt, bad direction by Himashu Brambhatt and also not good cinematography by Anshuman Mahaley. 1 out of 5
