Phoonk 2 (New Horror Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema)
Phoonk 2 the sequel takes off from where Phoonk ended. For those who watched Ram Gopal Verma's Phoonk, they'd recall how Rajiv's (Sudeep) soured relationship with his business partner Madhu (Ashwini Kalsekar) triggered dangerous consequences with Madhu performing black magic and voodoo to attempt at destroying Rajiv's family. With the aid of black magic, Rajiv averts her intentions and Madhu is killed in the ensuing faceoff.
In Phoonk 2, Madhu's ghost returns to haunt them. Rajiv, his wife Arati (Amruta Khanvilkhar), and their children (Ahsaas Channa and Rishabh Jain) move into a new bungalow with their live-in help. From the start there are signs that things are not right. The family seems to have moved into the house without ever having seen it before. Having emerged from the wake of a Phoonk, the viewers would only wonder why the family has picked on a house in a deserted area right next to a thick jungle all to scare the bejesus out of them. As the movie progresses, you see that eerie scenes apart, while it gets through to the audience that the inmates should leave the house, the family oblivious continues to inhabit and ignore the signs. All of a sudden, we learn that Arati's body has been possessed by Madhu's vengeful spirit. The spirit that until now seemed perfectly capable of doing away with two people (a hired help and Rajiv's friend) in spirit form suddenly needs to possess Arati's body to embark on a killing spree.
Compared to the well-made Phoonk, the sequel suffers plot amnesia. Without any preface as to why or how, Arati is found to be possessed and on a rampage to finish all in her path. It almost looks like the editing room broke loose and plugged scenes out of sequence. At any rate, the makers have ensured the ending leaves room for a Phoonk 3.
Rating: A 2 out of 5.
