Rating: 3.5/5 stars (Three and half Stars)

Star cast: Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen, Kalki Koechlin, Huma Qureshi, Pavan Malhotra, Rajatava Dutta

Director: Kannan Iyer

What’s Good: May be Bollywood’s definition of Ghost/Horror movie is changing with Ek This Daayan. This movie surprisingly is different and is a actual thriller.

What’s Bad: 2nd half of the movie could have been much better or say much much better. If you compare first half and second half – it goes as 5 star and 2 star respectively. You would love the first half and being amazed by good solid script but 2nd half ruins it all!!!

Loo break: May be a couple post interval

Watch or Not?: Considering its a different type of movie we categorize it as Good to Watch

Paisa Wasool: Yes.You will be definitely impressed by the first half of the if not by the 2nd half.

The movie revolves around the character Bobo (Played by Emraan Hashmi)- India’s leading magician. But unknown to even his girlfriend Tamara (Huma Qureshi), Bobo’s life is falling apart. His constant hallucinations leave him with no option but to seek psychiatric help.

Going through regression hypnosis, a terrifying story about his childhood surfaces involving a sinister power called Daayan who has not only destroyed his family but also promised to return to haunt Bobo. He chooses to ignore it and move on with his life. Just when his career and love life is at full throttle, enters the irresistible Lisa Dutt (Kalki Koechlin).

Bobo is convinced that Lisa is the daayan. But is she, really? Or is he just losing his mind? Ek Thi Daayan has some terrifying, spine chilling moments. There are high, gripping moments in the film, especially the first half, it’s hell scary.

The serial kisser of Bollywood Emraan Hashmi gets into the skin of his character and plays a convincing magician. Huma looks stunning and poised as ever, while Konkana Sen Sharma is just dynamic and remarkable. She stands out as the best amongst all. Kalki disappoints big time, can’t help but blame her loosely-written character.
