Visually the photography is excellent, think Hammer Horror with a skilled eye. I liked the 70s feel to it. Its a basic Ghost story just not particularly well told.
The acting is very 'Bollywood' but is you accept that it stops being jarring.
What I cannot forgive is the editing. OK, there are load of of jump cuts as you would expect in a 70s style film, however, some of these are plain stupid. The lead actress is being followed so we see a male foot walking towards a twig, then we see a close up of the twig, wait 20 seconds whilst following the woman THEN there is the sound of a twig breaking, we are not stupid - we can join the dots.
Is the film editor a secondary school student?
Don't get me started on the sound editing - it is all over the place from looking like the actors are dubbed to weird drops in volume between edits some of the worse I have seen (heard). I'm giving it a 4 for the photography 0/10 for the rest.
