Story

At a Medical College, 2 students die under mysterious conditions. A rumour of a ghost haunting the college spreads, so the college administration calls for a paranormal investigator. Vyoma, a paranormal investigator, comes to the college to investigate these deaths and clear the college’s name. What does he find out there is the rest of the story.

Review

As the name suggests, the makers of the movie have put a lot of effort into this movie’s sound effects. All the horror elements greatly benefit from this high quality and innovative sound design. Even the story in the later half depends on the music so it really shines.

But while the sound really pops, rest of the product takes a hit. The screenplay is very clunky with some scenes and character coming in very abruptly. Even dialogues see extremely jarring at some points. This really weakens the movie.

The plot is also not revealed much in the first half, in the typical horror movie fashion which keeps the film engaging before a disappointing reveal of the story behind the ghosts.

The acting is decent from all the actors, only impeded by the clunky editing.

The sound effects are good and innovative, the music is also good.

The graphics are also decent from a movie like this.

Conclusion

While the effort on sound is commendable, the plot and editing really bring this movie down.

Verdict

Maybe a one time watch at the theatres as the sound effects are best experienced with a good sound system.
