Basic old indian horror. The story around is a bit better than usual, but the monster is cheap and a bit disappointing.
Mandatory Bollywood song in the middle: not sure whether it's just old or meant to be stupid, but the choreography is at the level of something you poorly trained for at a friend's wedding. Possibly meant to be a parody ?
Kinda weird to spoil future scenes up to the end of the movie in the opening.
Lots of weird/stupid things that are clearly cheap "next step of the plot needs this, we don't care how or why, let's just say it happens". It's kinda forgettable in the beginning, but in the last part it just piles on and on and becomes absolutely unbearable.
The older sister flees in the beginning, although that's after the guy who was kidnapping her is killed. So she had no reason to keep running. After that she's only seen 20 years later, desperately looking for money. Well, looks like she managed 20 years already. And never thought to try to go home or contact her family ?
Dhurjan apparently spends 20 years inside too. No food, no water, I'd say probably even no air. And there are even torches still burning after all this time.
The two parts of the pendant are complementary, and so they have different forms, but you can clearly see nobody checked which part to use in any scene, they switch randomly.
Shakaal sees the girl, the pendant, probably interacts with her for a few days, assaults her, kills her, moves her to bury her, and then only notices the pendant ?
What does even Sapna dies from ?
When Mansingh is dying, he talks to Aarti and does not even have a word for his son. Also he's not dying that much since in the next scene Shakaal had the time to come from Bombay.
Shakaal assaults both the cook and his sister, and nobody even talks about it the first time. They stay and work here and are laughed at at the dinner table, wtf ?
Big fun moment when they drug the girls by surprise leading to a rain song (so basically sex metaphor) where they swap them...
In the cave they all have electric lamps, but still carry torches.
When some people are running around together, sometimes one is not there any more in the next scene, no reason, no question.
It seems no one ever thinks of stick the monster with a pointy thing. Even when Anand is throwing whatever he founds around and there is a spear next to him.
When they're in the temple, everyone is running around, dozens of people passing just in front of the monster, in both directions, and nobody sees him ?
They need a map to find the temple. They go there by car. But it was conveniently just around when the car broke down (before they even knew to look for it).
When Aarti is attacked by Shakaal, instead of screaming, or going to find the other people in the mansion, she just runs out. Far enough to reach the dungeon, and deep enough to find the treasure in it. Also after that, nobody ever mentions the treasure any more.
By the way same with Sapna. No reaction at all when learning that Shakaal killed her, and no mention of her ever after.
