Mallika Movie review, story, cast
Starring: Introducing Sheena Nayyar, Sameer Dattani, Himanshu Malik, Suresh Menon and Mamik
Director: Wilson Louis
Rating: *1/2 – Unintentionally hilarious.
Story: Sanjana can't sleep. Why? Because whenever she closes her eyes, she sees all kinds of ghosts staring at her in various states of blood and gore.
And when she wakes up, she sees them lying by her side. Poor psychic Sanjana....She knows somebody has been murdered somewhere in a desolate mansion and she needs us to find out who and why. Because her boyfriend, Sameer Dattani, ain't no help really, other than providing some background music when the going gets tough.
Movie Review: Now we don't know why the film makers made this film. And we don't know who they made it for? Is it for the usual horror film buff who has been recently wowed by stuff like Paranormal Activity? Is it for the comedy film buff who has just sampled the delicious satire Peepli Live and laughed his head off in Tere bin Laden? Or is it for the C-grade smut film viewer who anyway will end up grumbling despite the fact that the film has just two kind of scenes alternating with each other: a girl in a bath tub (or under a shower) and a girl in the bedroom. Why? Because the girls mostly resemble zombies and it's hard to differentiate between the ghost girls and the flesh and blood girls....
So, what's the point really that Ms Mallika (whoever she is) is trying to make? And why must we pay attention to her ghostly rant about revenge for a murder that took place some years ago in a ghastly haveli? It's hard to pay attention specially when the horror show hardly has the power to thrill or chill and the skeletons from the cupboard have make-up peeling from their pale faces. Add to this, the fact that the film doesn't move at all and comes undone because of the most garbled screenplay till date and you have a movie that ain't time pass. Why? Because this time, time never passes....
