Vikram Bhatt's first horror film Raaz was a huge hit and then after flops he returned with 1920, Shaapit Haunted 3D was the first horror film in stereoscopic 3D As per me the first film in 3D was Chota Chethan(1996) but as per media it is Haunted. The film has the typical hangover of Vikram Bhatt's films this time with something different about time travel thatz all We have the same mix of blind faith and paranormal activities. The film takes place in a mansion(predictabily) where Mahaakshay(earlier named Mimoh in Jimmy his debut film) comes to see and then what happens. After HAWA(2003) here we have a ghost raping the heroine and then the second half shows how Mahaakshay goes back and tries to save her. There are some scary scenes but some are predictable like the chandelliers falling down, Doors open, screeching noises.etc The film does gather steam towards the end and alls well till we reach the dargah though it is little difficult to understand why the ghost gets so vulnerable suddenly often taking long time to attack? but such things are forgiven in horror films. Post the dargah the film drags 30 mins more and we are thrown in some well and dingy area where the heroine again is attacked and finally all ends well. There are some flaws with the film like the hero and heroine suddenly breaking into a song when life is at stake? Also some scenes are unintentionally funny
Direction by Vikram Bhatt is good in many scenes Music is okay 3D effects are good better then many Hindi films
Mahaakshay(name changed after Jimmy failure) seems to have improved after his terrible debut, but still has to improve more He has to loosen up more, work on his weight and expressions His voice is dubbed by Vikram Bhatt(mostly in his films he dubs for actors) Tia Bajpai in her debut gives a good performance Achint Kaur is superb, Mohan Kapoor, Arif Jackeria are good in their roles The actor playing sufi baba is good, while Prachi Shah(seen in kyunki saas) is superb
