suite92 Uday and Ragini go on a trip to enjoy each other's company at a secluded house. Uday records some of this with his hand-held. At the house they stay at, there were many cameras, so much of the movie does not suffer from Uday's shaky hands.The MMS is for Multimedia Messaging Service, which allows for multimedia content to be sent over a variety of devices. This would allow for online sex escapades and the like. As in many USA/UK horror films of recent vintage, way too many frames of the movie are of rooms where nothing is moving; perhaps with sound, perhaps not.Uday handcuffs Ragini to a bed; they start intimate activities, but paranormal influences put them off before they get anywhere. Uday cannot find the key to the cuffs. Nice. Ragini sees the cameras, and is displeased with Uday.A voice from somewhere repeats 'I am not a witch,' 'I did not kill my children,' and 'This is my house.'There is a long interval of Ragini, alone, suffering, trying to figure out how to get free of the cuffs and the bed. Ragini finally gets loose about the time that two other people are about to open up the house. She never connects with the two men; she has trouble flagging down the infrequent vehicles on a nearby road.Toward the end, the witch drags Ragini back to the house, but somehow does not manage to kill her. This makes no particular sense given the ease at which it dispatched the men.-------Scores------Cinematography: 4/10 Web cam quality at best; hand-held unsupervised at worst.Sound: 7/10 Better than the video.Acting: 5/10 Kainaz Motivala was fairly good; everyone else was rather bad.Screenplay: 2/10 In 93 minutes I experienced about 30 minutes of irritation (the hand-held camera part), and 63 minutes of boredom from the web-cam segments. 'The medium is the message' is all too true here. I did not see much storytelling done.------There is even rap in this awful movie, during the credits, when disrespect of women was being emphasized. The 3/10 rating might be too high.
Einsicht "Horrifying", if it has to be defined in just one word.For me, Ragini MMS delivered far more than what it promised. The class and the execution of the horror sequences were far more intriguing that I had ever imagined. The fact that impressed me the most is that even though, primarily you get the feeling that it might be a movie with just sensual scenes and not so many significantly petrifying moments, it actually left its mark on me for the direction of the horrifying scenes and the quality of performances by the two actors. The movie revolves around a couple who set out to the outskirts of Mumbai for a weekend getaway. But as the reel rolls & the movie unfolds, it turns into a nightmare for the two as they encounter a lot of paranormal activities happening around & realize that the house they are staying in is haunted. Probably, as the movie was shot as if in real life, you connect to the horrendous events and the situations fashioned more closely and feel to be a part of the whole idea even more.The movie does give the inkling that it has been inspired by Paranormal Activity but apart from being shot as if in real life, the movie is fresh and presents unnerving scenes and goosebumps all the way. Raj Kumar Yadav is definitely here to stay and Kainaz Motiwala was impeccable in justifying her character. I sincerely recommend this one to Vikram Bhatt and expect that he would probably learn a thing or two and would not dole out movies like Haunted 3D again. And if he is too dim-witted to understand what a horror movie is then maybe it is time he hangs up his director shoes for the good of all humanity. Applause to the whole team of Ragini MMS as they have surely provided a benchmark against which all future Bollywood horror movies must be evaluated.
nishantverma1980 I saw this movie at a theater near my house and let me tell you audience were not scared instead they were laughing. Pavan Kripalani does not bring anything original in his directorial debut. The treatment of the film is copied from Hollywood flicks "Paranormal Activity" and "Blair Witch Project." I don't understand why Indian producers cannot hire writers who can write original stories and screenplays. The cinematography is not as impressive as it were in the respective Hollywood films. Also, audience were laughing at the fact that why the ghost struggles to kill Ragini when it was very easy for her to kill the other men. Even lechers sitting around me in the theater were disappointed as they were expecting a lot of steamy scenes. Highly disappointing film.
anshul2001anshul After a long time a decent Hindi horror movie maybe after darr of RamGopal Varma before he turned himself into a factory.Premise is simple and though they say it to be inspired by real events this kind of story of a wronged soul communicating with innocent/scheming outsiders has been repeated umpteen number of times. But thankfully it does not have that typical Ojha/magician so common in all Hindi movies who comes to deal with the bad soul neither it has a religious figure normally a priest or someone who comes to frighten away the ghost. This makes the story very realistic. Acting by lead pair is too good ,though movie sags towards end but length has been kept proper and it ends before viewer will get bored. Good movie. 8/10
