SPOILER ALERT - possible giveaway, if you have not seen BHOOT already.....

Just got to see BHOOT, in a theatre....i had avoided watching it on bootleg DVDs so far hoping the experience would be worth it all.....alas, IMHO Verma disappoints....as he himself has admitted (and as I had expressed my fears in a post long, long ago) BHOOT seemed 'scarily' similar to RAAT and is in fact a remake. That it worked in Verma the businessman's favour because RAAT was a miserable flop was good for him and the industry, but what about for Verma the film-maker? As a person constantly re-writing and re-setting the bar for the industry folks, this is quite the disappointment. And ofcourse that inexplicable fixation with the Matondkar girl.....can you please grow out of your adolescent streak....enough already....you have wasted enough footage on her....move on and find someone really talented.....without meaning to be overly critical, this is by far Matondkar's best performance but that is in comparision with HER OTHER performances....surely there are plenty of talented girls out there who would have fitted the bill better....and even though the film is only 2 hours long, it did drag in several places....can we not get out of this spirit and its revenge syndrome? Do these stories have to be built around such themes only? Its too simplistic a tale for someone as intelligent as Verma to be handling....heck even MADHUMATI had a similar theme and that was made some 40 years ago !!!!

This movie has some really shoddy writing...after seeing the kind of writing Jaideep Shahni did for him in COMPANY, Messrs. Marathe and gang disappoint....nevertheless, the quintessential optimist in me will await his next offering with great anticipation....Verma's best is yet to come.....

Wow us again RGV.....

I do beileve that RGV is a brill director, but lately his projects seem to be poor and not as innovative as before. These days he is too much style and no screenplay. Even his production films like Road, LKLKBK, PTKK...are all copies, or part remakes of older films like Dual, Roadside, Ruthless People etc...

In the past ten years I believe that Jungle, Rangeela, Satya and Company are only his best Hindi works...

I don't think it is his recent projects that aren't good as earlier ones....... Company was the last film he directed before Bhoot, and that was very good. I just think he's trying out different things, and some are successful, and some aren't. IMO, he's one of the only directors in Bollywood whose work is worth looking forward to.

Bhoot wasn't offensively bad like some films, but it wasn't scary. It also could have either followed some abandoned character threads in the film (creepy maid, creepy old lady) or forgotten them altogether. If you want an interesting horror film, see "May." I doubt that film will ever get remade into Hindi though!

LOL! I agree, its time to ditch the Urmila girl and move on. I think the problem is that nobody else in Bollywood want her.
