Phoonk - Notepad

[...] Phoonk [...]

Technically PHOONK is brilliant (especially camerawork) although music was a bit noisy at times but overall it was spooky. I too feel that suspense element was needed. RGV has effectively used 'silence' in this film which gives the audience an eerie feeling.(This should be experienced in a 70 mm screen.) & also the background score & the premise in the CLIMAX (although predictable) induces the audience to stay glued into their seats. I wonder why many critics like Meetu forgot to mention these aspects. Finally, to sum up, we should accept that RGV is one of the finest filmmakers India has ever produced & 'PHOONK' will be one of his highly successful (creatively / commercially) films till date.

i totally absolutely agree with meetu..i was surrounded by a packed cinema hall for a 11.15 pm show which i had gone expecting to be shit scared (i had really over estimated mr.verma)...but what i got was a continuosly giggling public with really loud snorts and smirks in between...
try hard as i did to be scared, neither did the director, nor the music,plot,cast or the silly stuffed crow on the half dead tree manage to give me even a teeny weeny goose bump...
and the continuous idiotic close ups of all the artefacts around the set actually got me wanting to jump up and hit mr.verma on the head with each of those stuffed toys which he kept flashing at us....
as for the little girl i wonder what kind of parent would put there child through that...how can you explain the whole black magic concept to a 11 year old girl and get her to act like that without giving her nightmares in reality for the next couple of months...
i bet the only one scared was little ehsaas.....

Hi meetu,

thanks for ur sophisticated english and the vocubulary that u used. It made me to know more words in english. But do u think can any body other than varma can make movie which will have technical value atleast to 5% that phoonk have. stop throwing all ur ruubish english to give unneccessary criticism. try to find out some valuable points next so that it will not be a laughter to people who read.

ur review is more funny...

whenever u heard those 700 laufs it meant the audience got scared 700 times! coz thats what one does when he/she gets scared...

u need a nimbu on ur head now!

All the superstitious people will go and see the film and all the non-superstitious people will just give it a bet and end up being scary.
Yes srinivas, people like RGV who is just making people a fool can make up such idiotic films. He knows this will not carry on for a long time as people even change the channels as soon as they see the promo of this film. Thinking of the whole story just makes me think that RGV has done it just to show that he is still able to make some foolish stories like this PHOONK.
His last film was a flop, this is a bigger flop(can be probabily)
I bet somebody has got that FIVE LAKH rupees from Ramu on the first day itself which he has promised to give if somebody dares to see the movie alone in the theatre. No News Of It.
I am concluding my boring comment saying that Its Ramu's bad time. Like evey coin has two faces, our life also has two faces!

I haven't seen the movie, yet I have one question ...

Is it more scary than AAG ?

5 lakh for watching Phoonk...anyone can do it....he should have offered the same scheme for RGV ki AAG....now i know of a lotta people who wouldnt even watch it if someone gave them 500 crores...!!!
