Warning Hindi Movie
If there's any film that can define unattainable lows it has to be Aagaah The Warning. It's certainly not easy to make a good film; a lot of efforts are put into it. But it's amusing to see the efforts put behind to make a cult bad film such as this.
Merging terrorism and horror, Warning is about a Jihadi Azaan Khan (Atul Kulkarni) who's instilled with the fact that if he dies fighting for his nation he will go to heaven. So he takes up the task of attacking Mumbai and approaches the city via the sea route. The boat that they hijack belongs to an innocent boatman Ramsharan (Karan Razdan) who curses Azaan while dying. So whether it's the curse of Ramsharan or his own wrong doings, Azaan turns into a spirit and keeps haunting the family of Ramsharan which includes his wife (Rituparna Sen Gupta), his mother (Ila Arun), father (Satish Kaushik) and his daughter (Jannat) only to convey a very important message. Now we cannot reveal that message and take away your fun. So dare to watch it yourself.
I understand that theirs a dearth of plots in horror genre in our nation. I also understand that yearning for which we derive "inspiration" from Korean or Hollywood cinema. But no reason can justify the crime committed by penning a story of Warning. The film is very conveniently divided into two parts, terrorism cum patriotism and horror so while you think of entering into a horror film, the initial first half cheats you with story meandering into terrorist attacks, training camps, jihaad blah blah blah. It's the second half that has the spooky element with one of the most bizarre connections ever. It is shoddy, amateurish and increasingly annoying to be watching the wrong setting, wrong premise, wrong characterisation and worst still, wrong execution of the wrong doings for a good 2 hours. If there's anything that's worth looking out for in this film it surely would be the unintentional humour that you can opt for if you plan to have a gala time with your bunch of friends. But with the multiplex prices touching the sky, I cannot assure you that even this can be a reason good enough to watch this film.
To add to the agony you have the constant hamming of the actors where the director Karan Razdan himself tops the list. He stutters and hams as seen never before in Indian cinema. The effects are very vintage with even the Ramsay brothers doing it better. Music by Sachin Gupta only adds to the agony.
To sum it up, we warn you to not watch this Warning.
