Bhoot Part One - The Haunted Ship Movie Review: There are two things I found the most innovative about the complicated-named슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship, Dharma Productions' latest attempt to scare us. The first was how the usual Dharma logo got a very creepy new redesign at the beginning of the film. The second comes towards the end when two characters "Bonebreaker" and "Faceless" find themselves mentioned in the credit scenes, and I have no clue who these two are. Maybe Bhanu Pratap Singh's directorial debut had a슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Left슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 4 Dead슬롯 머신 사이트 추천subplot that somehow got excised from the final product. Apart from these two, the rest of the film is two-hour-long excuse to throw jump-scares on you, while you are pondering if the new슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천has anything new to tell you.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot: The Haunted Ship Star Vicky Kaushal Says He Is Jealous of People Who Don슬롯사이트t Fear Watching Horror Movies Alone.

Bhoot is inspired by a real-life incident that happened a few years back when an abandoned ship got stranded in Mumbai. The movie begins in 2001 with a very Ghost Ship-like eerie scene on the merchant ship Sea-Bird, when a birthday party aboard the vessel takes a weird turn after the Captain's daughter is abducted by something supernatural. Years later, in 2012, the ship makes an unexpected appearance in Mumbai, getting beached there. Prithvi (Vicky Kaushal), a슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Shipping officer gets assigned to release the ship back in the sea.

Prithvi, who has recently gone through a tragic incident in the family and suffers from hallucinations, experiences hauntings on the ship, and soon the supernatural occurrences follow him home. Are the ghostly matters all in his mind? What terrifying tale does the ship has to say? Is it that it has nothing really new to say?

Karan Johar's production house has had two attempts in horror in the past. First is the 2005 film슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Kaal, that was promoted with a lot of promise, but turned out to be a film that was confused as to what it wanted to rip off -슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Final Destination슬롯 머신 사이트 추천or슬롯 머신 사이트 추천the archetypical슬롯 머신 사이트 추천serial killer film. At the beginning of this year, Karan Johar directed a segment in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Ghost Stories슬롯 머신 사이트 추천that nearly scared people from subscribing to Netflix.

Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천was an opportunity for his production house to salvage some pride when it comes to the genre. Roping a promising star like Vicky Kaushal gave enough impetus to the film. But Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천turns슬롯 머신 사이트 추천out to be as scary as an episode of슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Fear Files. Add a very clumsy dramatic plot to the film, and슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천becomes exactly what you expect a horror movie from the house that gave you슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Kalank슬롯 머신 사이트 추천last year - well-made but kinda pointless.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot Song Channa Ve: Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar's Romance Is at Its Peak But a Tragedy Awaits (Watch Video)

To be fair, the scares were good, till the film overplayed them in the second half. The setting of the슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 derelict ship, enhanced by the terrific sound design and Pushkar Singh's camerawork, manages to create some very eerie atmosphere. Each clang, each clunk feels terrifying to hear and there were some moments that I had to watch through my fingers. Drawing parallels of the ship's unspoken tragedy to that of the protagonist is also an interesting storytelling technique (if you haven't seen the same thing in movies like Triangle, The Descent and other such stuff).

Then, again, the depiction of scares aren't anything that you haven't experienced in the past. You know what's around the corner, and once the camera moves there, you슬롯 머신 사이트 추천won't be disappointed in finding슬롯 머신 사이트 추천a jump scare waiting for you. From슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Ring슬롯 머신 사이트 추천to슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Annabelle슬롯 머신 사이트 추천to even Bollywood's own슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Pari, the ingredients seem borrowed from everywhere. But as long as the setting feels different, I was willing to overlook the lack of original scares here.

It also helps that the movie has a short runtime. Still, the movie does find the time to add a슬롯 머신 사이트 추천girl-trafficking subplot that had no connection to the main premise and only serves to display Prithvi's suicidal bravado. Something we found have found out sooner or later, anyway.

The scares, however, turns out to be only thing슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천has to offer. The whole mystery around the happenings on the ship turns out to be a very yawn-worthy yarn with an insipid twist towards the end. Not to mention, a shockingly bad Vikram Bhatt-inspired climax that turns whatever little fright you had by then into peals of laughter. You really won't believe the kind of CGI used in the scenes here, and wonder when Bollywood would be void of tantra-mantra mumbo-jumbo in dealing with the spooks.

Even though a horror film doesn't demand logic to be used, you can't help but question some very glaring plotholes. Like why was there no security around this big-ass ship making it so easy enough for anyone can access it in the night? If the ghost can work beyond the confines of the ship, why can't it take its revenge against its intended main target? What's the exact point of casting Bhumi Pednekar in such a thankless role, even if the movie pegged her as a 'special appearance'? Why no one told Ashutosh Rana that the shooting for슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Raaz슬롯 머신 사이트 추천is over 18 years back?

These questions make me ponder upon what really irked about Bhoot. It wasn't the endless plotholes, or the derivative scares. It was that despite the polish, Bhoot is more soulless than the dead in the film.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The plotting is simply lazy and the movie doesn't even play around with the aspect of Prithvi's problematic hallucinations, a plot element that could have made this film even more wicked.

And to add more salt to the wound, there is a mid-credit scene that is as dull and unexciting as it comes.

The Performances

Vicky Kaushal does a good job when he has to be a Scream King - terrified of the spooky things happening around him. Otherwise, his performance surprisingly lacks energy, the actor simply going through the motions and in those times, I felt like shouting at him, 'Where's the josh?'. Akash Dhar, who plays Prithvi's bestie, does okay in a role that mostly requires him to be angry at his friend for one reason or the other. Ashutosh Rana is passable. Meher Vij brings some impetus in the weak third act.

Yay!

- A Scary First Half

- Sound Design

Nay!

- Can't Make Anything of Its Convoluted Premise

Final Thoughts

The haunted ship in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot Part One슬롯 머신 사이트 추천runs both out of steam and scares before it could reach its conclusion. It's worth a watch only if you are in the mood for some borrowed frights. Dharma had confidently announced that슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhoot슬롯 머신 사이트 추천would be the first of a planned franchise. The last time they made such an announcement was for슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Drive. Now their next big planned franchise is슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Brahmastra. Okay, KJo, so you did get me scared after all, thinking about the future of your franchises!
