Analysis
The cast, cinematography, and editing works will be the primary factors for this movie to become successful. The film depicts the classic horror-thriller genre. Mixing the supernatural with comedy, there is almost a lighthearted disregard to how it tells its tale. The guest house where the film is set fits perfectly according to its horror background at all levels. The scriptwriter did an excellent job maintaining the pace throughout the movie and combined the comic elements of the dialogues appropriately. Although the theme of the film is cliche, the witty dialogues and perfect depiction of horror scenes makes it interesting. The climax is thrilling. The music composer did a commendable job in composing music that is suitable for the theme. The dark lighting and scary sound effects are apt for creating the horror ambience. The background color of the film is mostly dark. The graphic effects improve slowly. The horror scenes are eerie and thrilling. The makeup team has done good work as well. The ghost itself is too ominous and creepy. The cinematographer did a marvelous job of capturing the haunted guest house. It makes the scenes a lot more exciting, thanks to his ability. Editing done by Jnanesh is a plus point for the film. The story builds up slowly to reach the climax. The too long scenes are compensated by the frequent comic relief. Witty dialogue and funny scenes are added in between the horror scenes. This eases the audience a little. It becomes a plus point for the movie.
