 – Unnatural Brutality,.jpg)
The film is an 'extreme' horror movie with a lot of blood and violence and the movie definitely isn't for kids, or so the director would like us to believe. While that maybe so, the storyline is highly immature, with the handsome Vijay finding time to romance the beautiful Dr. Suhani, even managing to fly off to exotic locations to sing three songs, all in the midst of the very ugly and savage butchery that's being unleashed by a powerful ghost at the hospital. Shiney Ahuja looks like a newborn man in his comeback film, in the sense that he seems to have forgotten his basic acting lessons. However, Sayali Bhagat does a good job of saving him from suffering too much damage, as her own meager attempt at trying to act like she was acting makes him look so much better, even giving him the credibility needed to approach the next producer.
Shiney Ahuja seemed like a young star with a promising career till some 'unfortunate incidents' derailed his career and his life, completely off track. 'Ghost' was touted as his comeback film. And now the actor must be wishing he had never even attempted a come back! 'Ghost' is amateurish, unimaginative, lacking in sense and horrible by any measure.
The film is written, directed and edited by Puja Jatinder Bedi and the lady should realise for the sake of the people - albiet very few – mentally tortured by having seen 'Ghost', that doing anything closely resembling movies in future would only result in further demeaning her life. 'Ghost' is set in a 'city hospital' which, in order to get the right sort of ambience I guess, is situated at the base of a remote hillock.
The music is by Sharib Sabri, Tosi Sabri and Raju Singh and these names better remain anonymous. The music they have given to 'Ghosts' in the form of songs and background score is a crime that could land them in some serious trouble with music lovers. However the good news is that no one would remember 'Ghost' and its music two weeks from today; so they could be back with their next film, barely arousing any suspicion. There are also obviously various other people involved in the making of the film, but there does not seem to be any specific need to evaluate any of their works - like that of the cinematographer or the art director - after you have seen an elderly woman on the operating table, having suffered third degree burns and yet somehow miraculously with her saree still spotless, except for some dust and soot.
Dr. Suhani (Sayali Bhagat) walks into the hospital on her first day - or rather night, since she is on the night shift – of the job and immediately becomes aware of the presence of some unnatural forces around her. Things take a more gruesome turn when Dr. Suhani happens to discover the disfigured body of a hospital nurse by accident. To save the reputation of the hospital, the case is sent to the Investigative Force and the Investigative Force sends in their best man Vijay Singh (Shiney Ahuja). Customary investigations follow. But soon Vijay Singh discovers that the mysterious happening at the City Hospital is not just a case for him, but something more and deeply personal...
So, if you are a fan of Shiney Ahuja and are glad that his luck has finally changed for the better, do not come and see this film as you might get a tad too depressed seeing the cruelty that fate seems to bestow upon the man's career. In the end, 'Ghost' is indeed a horror flick, but all it has managed to terrify is that section of the audience that still believes that movie making is a serious art, not to be treated as child's play. If it hasn't been made obvious in this review till now, do not see 'Ghost' the film, even genuine ghosts would think of ending their own ‘lives’ after seeing 'Ghost'. Poor ghosts!
