Review-

The film begins by establishing the plot, which is too predictable from the start, in which a group of five friends receive a free staycation and end up in a haunted haveli. Two of the five friends are lovers who are unable to marry due to the girl’s family’s dissent.

The film takes a crazy turn when the 5 friends meet 5 kids who are the ghosts in the film. These kids wanted to participate in DID but dies because of these 5 friends. So these 5 noble souls decide to help the kids and participate in DID and let the ghosts possess their bodies. Where is the Logic???

The five children who died in an accident do not wish to meet their families and instead wish to perform a dance for their mothers. Who are we fooling?

When it comes to the star performances, Aditya Seal was okay but overdramatic, and Nikita Dutta, as we have seen her before, is not acceptable with this much drama. When it comes to the rest of the cast, everyone is overacting throughout the film and needs to calm down.

It was a Bosco Martis film, so if we get bad dancing, there will be nothing left to see. The dancing is good, the music is nice, and extra points go to the film’s VFX, which occasionally gives fairytale vibes.

Although it is a film for children and may appeal to them but, for parents to go and watch this with kids, there needs to be some sensibility.

The film has an ‘N’ number of guest appearances from Farah Khan, Raftaar, Ahmed, and Nora to Bosco himself, they are being part of the film has agreed upon the script. This film has a story but it doesn’t appeal to anybody. There is nothing about the film which is extraordinary.

Review

This is a film that a kid might want to watch on a cartoon channel, but it is not one that a person would want to see in a theatre.
