Haunted
...all familiar elements of the horror film genre. They are present in spades in Haunted, but they tickle the funny bone rather than send shivers down your spine.

Haunted
Director and writer Luv Ranjan seems to have a string of bad breakups. Only that can explain why the villains in his debut movie are the girlfriends – who are difficult, demanding, unfathomable and annoying.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap

Table No. 21
Bhatt initially keeps the audience engaged with a quick pace and amusing vignettes such as a machine which measures the decibel levels of a slap. But he loses his grip in the second half, especially as the audience is able to put together the clues and predict the game’s end.
