Ekta Kapoor is a successful producer, she milked the revolution of Indian television channels and struck gold with films too.
Indeed she is a very smart businesswoman looking at her films, she likes to leverage every bit of hit films and create a lot of controversy and hype (remember the blood stained bed during Ragini MMS promotions) to make up for the lack of content and star power.
So here she is with an unlikely second installment of her surprise hit Ragini MMS, an unusual horror film with a delicate plot. This one has been labeled as "Horrex" (of a Horror and adult genre).
While the first part was more of a documentary and clearly relied on the story and script that made it seem like a decent Hindi version of Paranormal Activity, this one has all the ingredients of an Indian masala film. Following the rule of Bollywood sequels - the bigger, the better, the better, it brings all those superlative elements - hot starcast aka Sunny Leone and hotter sequences and many scary moments.
The director has squeezed every drop of vulgarity out of the lead Sunny Leone to make it a proper erotica. If he minus Sunny from the film, it is no different from Balaji Productions' box office flops Kuchh to Hai and Krishna Cottage.
The plot features a seemingly B-grade style par excellence, director Rocks (Parvin Dabas) claims to make a film on the incident in the same estate where it happened, signing a writer who is related to the Ragini family.
He then calls in adult actress Sunny Leone (who plays herself) and a bunch of wrestlers and TV actors to add some comedy. Just before the shoot begins, Sunny meets a traumatized Ragini (Kainaz) in her psychiatric hospital cell to get her mannerisms and expressions.
Meanwhile, Ragini’s psychiatrist is looking into the case and trying to cure her and also solve the mystery. As expected, the shooting schedule turns out to be a series of mysterious and horrific events and how and who finds a way out is the rest of the story.
The writers have used their imagination to extend the story which director Bhushan Patel has given an old fashioned masala horror thriller treatment. Sunny's presence also has a major influence on the script and screenplay and the sensual glimpses of her will surely titillate the audience in the front row. The film presents the sexual element of the otherwise horror-oriented film very well.
Sunny will be the one who will benefit the most from this film as she gets the platform to flaunt her strength and even show off her acting skills unlike the first two films (Jism-2 and Jackpot). She steals the show and will now be a sought after actress for Bollywood producers who will be keen to cast her.
