To me, this movie is perfection.

Powerful

Great Film overall

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An intelligent movie, with lots of psychological jargon, which makes you feel full of awe at the end. Watch it with all your mind. don't miss small things told during the movie. at the end it will be a masterpiece. Where Sixth Sense was a cult classic. This movie went unnoticed. Thriller Genre this is a must watch It's a great thriller or mystery, but on another level it's a film about the fact that, if you only look at a person through one lens, or only believe what you're told, you can often miss the truth that is staring you in the face. For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world. Thrillers like 'Coma,' 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'The Firm' all captivated me by providing glimpses into realms about which I knew very little - medical science, submarine technology and the law.

Had never heard of this movie (but no apologies, very few actually have), why I went on to watch whole of it was that it began with first year students being ragged in what turns out soon to be a medical college, reminding of my first year(I am a medical student too). But for a few scenes the initial part of this ragging stuff was completely life-like. The portrayal of a student's hostel in India is excellent where the new comers are initially troubled and mocked before they get frank with their seniors who in turn get friendly. What follows, though not a very day-to-day experience, is very much sensible and realistic. And that's what makes me like this movie -"sense and realism"- something lacking in well more than 90 percent of its contemporaries- bollywood and Hollywood alike. This movie is a very smooth depiction of how situations can throw our mind in directions we could never imagine. And in the circumstances of abhimanyu, hallucinations can never be far. Nothing in the movie has been over-done. The acting and directions have been superb. And above all the story is smooth with some sharp twists at the end, and that is sure to make watching this movie a memorable experience. 'Taare zameen par' remains my all time favourite and 'the shawshank redemption' and 'pursuit of happiness' from overseas come next but after that I like this movie the most, it's a pity that the movie remained so unnoticed, no one seems to believe that it is a must watch. So few views for a movie like this is perhaps a result of lack of strong promotion. Surely this movie deserved a platform similar to 'taare zameen par'. Some stupid ones like 'bodyguard' can create records at box-office, but this one has to search for worthwhile viewers just because of the promotions and starring moulding our expectations- abhimanyu was right "it's all in the mind".

Kudos to the director, writer and actor for this movie. I was not sure of watching this movie after watching the trailer, but picked the movie with a friend at half and watched it from the beginning. Well, he was scared for sure. It was not the special effects or the scary faces but the blend of idea that the characters were discussing and the perfectly timed appearances of events in room no. 404.Satish Kaushik is himself in the movie, his character is always on the safe side of the discussion and he proves it. Tisca Chopra was good and Immad shah could do better than this, after his Dil Dosti etc. Nishikant Kamat delivers a good performance and Rajvvir Arora's character has to be poker face at times but he overdid it.If you are thinking its based on college ragging, some copied or failed implementation of a great idea, you are wrong. To enjoy the movie it is necessary to be confused than to be sure about the existence of paranormal/what happens after death. The scene just before the curtain drops can haunt you for days.

I read only 2 para of bobby's review and went for the movie, I should have read his whole review !!!The movie is an utter disappointment, I don't know how people are even appreciating it. Most of them would be critic I know but guys its a movie it needs to have punches and performances.The script was not at all as impressive as the people are shouting here. My eight class brother could write a better script.Only likable performance was from the character Abhimanyu (Rajvvir) and Tisca. Rest of the character were waste including the professor and Chris.
