The movie Phobia is a different directorial venture by Pavan Kirpalani and has Radhika Apte Radhika Apte, an Indian actress was born on Sept 7 >> Read More... playing the vital role in the movie. The title of the movie gives away the story. Sure enough, there is something more to the movie than the story itself. The wonderful screenplay by Pavan and performance by Radhika Apte draw audiences to the theater.

Plot:  

Radhika Apte is the main character in the movie. A nightmarish happening causes a strange phobia of some places and situations in Radhika. Doctors find that she suffers from agoraphobia.  Her psychiatrist tries the best of therapies, but of no avail.  Her boyfriend Satyadeep Mishra Satyadeep Mishra is an Indian actor. He has acted >> Read More... wants her to be in the least provocative atmosphere.  Radhika is hell-bent on thwarting fears.  But, things start happening around, and Radhika Apte is confused as to whether those happenings are true or not. 

Star Performances:  

Radhika Apte makes an appearance in major portions of the movie. She is very expressive, and her face gives it away to the audience.  Satyadeep Mishra has done a good job.  There is no scope for performance by Nivedita Bhattacharya Nivedita Bhattacharya is a television actress. She >> Read More... .  Yashaswini Dayana has done the role of Niki and manages to captivate the attention of fans.  Also, the performance by Ankur Vishal is above par. 

Analysis: 

It is surely a horror flick and has managed to work out without the stereotypes of any other horror movie. The difference comes as a whiff of fresh air for the audiences.  The director has knit the story very well and truly portrays on the screen a woman suffering from phobia. Radhika Apte needs to be applauded for her efforts in the movie.  Although the movie’s title throws light on the story, there are junctures when audiences are confused as to whether it is phobia or something else that is bothering Radhika Apte.  Towards the end, the movie sags a bit.  The director could have concentrated more with the latter half of the movie.

What is there?

  • Although there are no numbers, the background music is worthwhile and adds to the spookiness.
  • The screenplay without the usual horror movie clichés is excellent.
  • The movie hinges on the performance by the excellent actress Radhika Apte… It is a simply outstanding performance by her.

What is not there?  

  • There are a few scenes that defy logic.
  • The second half of the movie is lengthy, and the editor could have done better.

Verdict

Although it is not a blood-curdlng output (since the audiences expect a lot now), the movie proves interesting enough for a one time watch.
