Saturday, August 14, 2010

Rate: 2.2/5

Cast: Bobby Deol, Mugdha Godse, Sophia Handa, Shreyas Talpade



Horror films made in Bollywood follow the same path. At least most of them. The Aatma / spirit seeks revenge for wrongs to him. Spirit breathes fire and spits poison fear ripped from the false-power-hungry and eliminates them one by one. But in a cast, put the atrocities of the late actor Aatma. All's well that ends well.

Help is no different. It follows the same rules, except that it has an interesting dimension to the offer, which, again, is sure to have its share of advocates and adversaries. Unfortunately, the screenplay, based on an interesting concept, it becomes repetitive and sometimes excruciatingly slow at the scene. In addition, the unwritten rule of horror films is that they scare you in the right places, but within a sequence or two that give jhatkas, the film lacks the fear quotient. In other words, emotions are absent.

Vic (Bobby Deol) and Pia (Mugdha Godse) through a difficult period in their marriage and in the midst of these difficult times, have to rush to Mauritius to look after his ailing father to Pia. Upon landing in Mauritius and return to the old family house of Pia, Pia is facing its distant past.

Just know that there is something in this house. When Richard discovers she is pregnant, this spirit of evil, he and Roy start to kill people close to him. Vic is now a race against time to save a pregnant woman, who seems to Have kept the spirit of her twin sister, Dia, who died when Were both 5 years old.

The very first series of teaching raises the bar and expect the others are riveting, or maybe more. But the model is comparable to the great see saw: Participation and not engaged on a regular basis. The writing in some way not entirely convincing, and in places gives the impression that writing is easy. Authors (Deepak Pawar and Viddesh Malandkar) to come up with truly horrific situations from time to time, but switch to a familiar and tested in situations to take the story forward.

The ending is a disappointment, because we can not understand how and why the mind is afraid of mirrors. Even the way is sidelined Shreyas Talpade in the climax makes you feel depressed. Are not you supposed to release the spirit of family? So why divert attention to Bobby?

Director Rajeev Virani has drawn a number of sequences well. The implementation of the object is truly elegant. The ranges of writing interesting and there has been - that type of situation consistently. The songs are well done. Cinematography (Dhiman Vyas) is catchy.

Bobby pitches in a sincere performance. Mugdha shows a significant improvement on its previous performances. Shreyas Talpade to make out its enforcement role. Jyoti Dogra is effective. The actor enacting the role of father Mugdha is sufficient.

In general, aid is at best a common effort.
