Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
suite92 Uday and Ragini go on a trip to enjoy each other's company at a secluded house. Uday records some of this with his hand-held. At the house they stay at, there were many cameras, so much of the movie does not suffer from Uday's shaky hands.The MMS is for Multimedia Messaging Service, which allows for multimedia content to be sent over a variety of devices. This would allow for online sex escapades and the like. As in many USA/UK horror films of recent vintage, way too many frames of the movie are of rooms where nothing is moving; perhaps with sound, perhaps not.Uday handcuffs Ragini to a bed; they start intimate activities, but paranormal influences put them off before they get anywhere. Uday cannot find the key to the cuffs. Nice. Ragini sees the cameras, and is displeased with Uday.A voice from somewhere repeats 'I am not a witch,' 'I did not kill my children,' and 'This is my house.'There is a long interval of Ragini, alone, suffering, trying to figure out how to get free of the cuffs and the bed. Ragini finally gets loose about the time that two other people are about to open up the house. She never connects with the two men; she has trouble flagging down the infrequent vehicles on a nearby road.Toward the end, the witch drags Ragini back to the house, but somehow does not manage to kill her. This makes no particular sense given the ease at which it dispatched the men.-------Scores------Cinematography: 4/10 Web cam quality at best; hand-held unsupervised at worst.Sound: 7/10 Better than the video.Acting: 5/10 Kainaz Motivala was fairly good; everyone else was rather bad.Screenplay: 2/10 In 93 minutes I experienced about 30 minutes of irritation (the hand-held camera part), and 63 minutes of boredom from the web-cam segments. 'The medium is the message' is all too true here. I did not see much storytelling done.------There is even rap in this awful movie, during the credits, when disrespect of women was being emphasized. The 3/10 rating might be too high.

atinder It was only matter of time,before Bollywood get into the found footage genre.Ragini MMS (2011) Hindi movie, no need for any subs, as most of the times, they speak in English!Two couple who go to farmhouse and most of time, all they think of is having Sex.when get into the mood, there friends come, thing start to get scary.We see the ghost here and there, it is a shame , cause it take the tension away, however there were some scenes, that were actually surprising good.Near the end, after some descent scenes, it loses it tension again , which makes go down hill.This is actually Bollywood version Paranormal Activity4 out of 10 I think worth watching for least once! (Just for laugh).
Kaustubh Rajnish While watching the latest horror film Ragini MMS I must have jumped out of my seat at least 38 times. The reason was more the jarring sound effects than the actual horror unleashing on the screen. This pretty much sums up the movie.Plot So a sleazy Delhi type guy (from the cast of Love Sex Dokha) wants to shoot his girlfriend in a homemade sex tape. This is where the similarity to the actual Ragini case I guess ends. Instead of shooting it at his own space, he takes her to an abandoned (but perfectly furnished) bungalow.The bungalow apparently belongs to a friend of his and is fitted with a camera in pretty much every room. These cameras along with the dude's own hand-held camera are supposed to make up the movie frames of Ragini MMS. Whenever needed the filmmaker conveniently shifts to some normal movie cameras as well which pretty much dilutes the whole idea of the hidden camera concept. Of course before the couple can begin to get horny the horror in the house begins to show to the viewers. The film is over punctuated with sudden sound effects, whooshes sounds, heavy breathing, unlit screens, scary looking camera angles and of course glimpses of a traditional witch spewing Marathi to boot. As the couple begins their stuff the witch decides to teach them a lesson. While the sudden movements and sudden glimpse of the supernatural do make u jump am not sure if they are the right kind of fodder for a true horror buff. On another hand the actions of the characters as usual make no sense. While Yadav is good as a sleazy 'thoku master' the girl (Kainaz Motiwala) is reduced to screaming in hot pants and a spaghetti top tied up to a bed. The sleaze is considerable in the film but not quite campy enough to be enjoyable. The film borrows from a number of point of view films like Blair Witch project (the apology to family and the running in the forest) as well as the more recent REC (the discovery of the room where the actual crime might have happened) and of course Paranormal activity (titled fallen cameras showing the horrifying proceedings)So the question remains - is Ragini MMS scary enough? Well yes it is. The premise of shooting through digital cameras does create a strong sense of realism which is why so many horror films get made in this format. The sound effects along with the demented and repetitive Chudail are definitely eerie. But the best character are the camera angles which leave just about enough nooks and crannies in each frame to give you a feeling of unease.In the end Ragini Mms could have been a landmark Indian horror film much like Ekta 's 'LSD' and 'Shor in the city' but its attempt to link the mms scandal to what is an out and out supernatural horror story ended up confusing the filmmaker. Had it gone all out with a horror theme it would have been fun to figure out a number of horror movie questions - why Panditji sent them to the house, what was the crime committed, what happens to the bunch of boys who came out of nowhere to disappear in the same time. why was the house fitted with cameras.But unfortunately someone in production did not want to let go of the MMS sleaze factor thinking that would sell the movie. So the filmmaker gets to show the oh yes we believe that plaque "inspired by true events" and also gets to end the film, with a 'LSD' / 'Cloverfield' like epilogue which is supposed to make us emotional about the sleazy couple. Not to mention the blink and you missed it end notes which make no sense. In the end there are too many loose ends and poorly sketched sub plots for the film to be recommended It is though - Recommended to people who get thrills out of jumping in their seats due to loud sounds and fans of MNS for the Marathi speaking chudail. Special Mention : LSD fans can watch for a tribute where Yadav dances on Lucky Looka's "Tum gandi achi lagti ho!" – was the only time I smiled in the movie.
