Ragini MMS Movie Review: 3.25 / 5
Published on May 13, 2011 by Admin · 1 Comment
Ragini MMS was a remake of Hollywood hit movie Paranormal Activity with few changes directed by Pawan Kripalani. Producer Ekta Kapoor tried various activities to promote the movie, and which is released in Hindi and Telugu versions. Let's see how this movie goes.
Story: Uday (Rajkumar Yadav) and Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) are seeing each other and decide to spend a weekend all alone in a secluded bungalow. Without Ragini’s knowledge, Uday has promised a wheeler-dealer to make a sex video with Ragini for circulation in the sex market. The wheeler-dealer, called Panditji, has, therefore, got cameras fitted in all the rooms of the deserted bungalow to capture all the hot action between Uday and his girlfriend.
Things go wrong when Ragini’s friend, Pia (Janice), and her boyfriend, Vishal (Rajat), stop by at the bungalow while on their way to a weekend getaway. Uday is frustrated because submitting the sex video would ensure him a break in films or so he has been promised. Ragini tries to be civil to her friend and the boyfriend, both of who sneak into Uday and Ragini’s bedroom and realise that the two have planned to have kinky sex. At one point of time, Pia even announces her desire to spend the night at the bungalow with Ragini and Uday, much to the annoyance of the latter. However, Vishal, who has gone to the toilet, emerges a while later, angry that Uday had locked him inside a room. Of course, Uday has done no such thing but Vishal orders Pia to leave immediately with him. Even as the friends leave, Uday and Ragini don’t realise that the house is haunted and it is the ghost of a lady who lived in it, which had locked the door.
Anyway, Uday and Ragini settle in bed for a night of passion but they are in for the fright of their life. Strange things start happening as the ghost becomes active. To make matters worse, Uday has handcuffed Ragini to the bed and can’t find the key now. Soon, Uday gets killed by the ghost right in front of a scared Ragini’s eyes. Petrified, Ragini screams, shouts, cries out for help and sheds tears but there’s no soul around to come to her rescue. Does Ragini manage to free herself? Does anybody come to her rescue? What happens to Pia and Vishal? Does the ghost also attack Ragini?
Performances: Rajkumar Yadav does a fantastic job. Whether it is scenes of his frustration, mock anger or fear, he is superb in all of them. Kainaz Motivala is also effective. She plays the modern girl out on a night alone with her boyfriend ably. Her expressions when she is scared and when she is helpless are good. Janice acts naturally. Rajat is appropriate. Others provide very good support.
Pavan Kirpalani’s story is interesting, especially for the youth because it mixes sex with horror intelligently. The screenplay, penned by Pavan Kirpalani and Vaspar Dandiwala, keeps the interest level quite high because it is taut. Pavan Kirpalani’s direction is very good. The narration of the story keeps the audience involved throughout. However, the ending does seem abrupt and keeps the viewers less than fully satisfied. Background music (Faizan Hussain and Agnel Boman) is lovely
In penning the sex scenes, the writers have not spared any chance to titillate the viewers and have used vulgar language to satiate the baser instincts of young boys and girls. The sound effects of the horror scenes are terrific and terrifying. On a whole I’m going with 3.25
Bottom Line: Cameras, Sex and Horror – Just for Adults
