Featured review
Not bad for 2013 Hindi Horror
Though it lacked the usually chills packed with a typical horror production, Aatma did venture into an untapped territory for Hindi horror cinema, especially during the early 2010s. The ultra talented Nawazuddin could have been utilised better in a more sinister form that he's capable of. Bipasha looks sexy as hell, though is in her usual damsel in distress set of moves she's been doing in most of her erstwhile horror flicks.
The movie began well, transitioned okay into its second act though by the time climax is reached, the regular horror audience might expect some more intense plot twists. Some of the scenes during the first half show great innovation in terms of eerie camera angles and perfectly disturbing background score (something most Hindi horror movies are still working on). The ghost is wicked, cunning and merciless though we fail to be scared by it once we're out of the movie. The end has a big potential though it leaves us feeling unfinished and unsatisfied. It occasionally forayed into the territory of being a dark psychological thriller and in fact, it could have been a much better commercial success had it been released as a dark thriller more than a supernatural horror.
Overall, this was a step in the right direction, though a stronger script and a more evil end could have made it a better horror watch. A decent Ghost movie to watch with the family though.
