Disclaimer- This isn't any typical, exoteric bollywood masala movie.

Anybody who likes psychological thriller/horror will like it. The movie will leave you with many questions and it is one of those movies that leaves things to the viewers' interpretation. Who was the mysterious woman? Was she really a beautiful, doting wife or was she, behind that veneer of benevolence, a vampire as her husband suspected. The logical vs paranormal theme will continue to tease viewers right till the end.

Was she a figment of Srikanth's imagination emanating from his depressed mental state or was the world around him too immature to fathom the realities around Srikanth?

I liked the simple acting by both Berry and Madhu. A few songs are quite nice but i particularly loved the recurring, pleasantly haunting background track in some scenes. Plot is very simple. Srikanth is a handsome, chemistry professor. Life is great until he has an accident that leaves his face badly disfigured. His gf ditches him because he lost all his charm. People in general avoid him because he doesn't look "normal" and strangers can't stand his ugliness. Srikanth gets utterly depressed and becomes a recluse. He flings himself into researching about the occult. Devours books by the dozens to dive deeper into this subject that had always intrigued him. Srikanth's monotonous existence is interrupted when he meets this beautiful but mysterious girl, Ragini. He is immediately drawn to her because unlike others she doesn't judge him by his looks. They fall in love and get married. It's then that Srikanth gradually notices some strange things about his gorgeous new wife. Who is she?

The climax will leave you with questions galore. What exactly transpired between them? Did she truly love him? No matter what you choose to make of it, you will surely will find this love story poignant and bittersweet.

The thing I didn't like about the movie were the misplaced comic scenes that had no purpose and in fact took away from the otherwise dark tight plot.

Hindi cinema, or Bollywood, is celebrated for its vibrant storytelling that blends music, colorful spectacle, action and powerful melodrama.
