New Delhi ( Prembabu Sharma)…..“acreepy, spine-chilling date movie… Ragini MMS amalgamates components of horror,paranormal and sex seamlessly.

“some scenes wereso scary, that I actually wanted to run out of the theatre!” – ShubhaShetty-Saha, Mid-dayA sensual paranormal thriller based on the real lifeexperience of a girl from Delhi, the film is about an MMS that captures thingsbeyond the realm of human understanding. Released on a Friday the 13th May2011, “Ragini MMS” delivered a real scare to the audience and was a hit at thebox-office recovering its costs within two days of its release!
Themovie was also in the news for giving the ultimate seducing tune of all times anew meaning. The romantic hit, originally picturised on Dev Anand and Tanuja,from the blockbuster JewelThief is rendered passionately by Asha Bhosle. The film also follows avery different shooting style and is shot as if in real time! The cameraconstantly plays the “peeping tom”, a device that serves well to sleaze as wellas horror. The low-lit, often handheld camera adds realistic flavour to thedeclared “inspired from real events” drama.
We follow a quintessential couple,Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) and Uday (Raj Kumar Yadav), as they set out to have adirty weekend at a friend's farmhouse on the outskirts of Mumbai. The weekendgetaway quickly changes gears as unknown to Ragini, the house is rigged with hiddencameras. Meanwhile, Uday gets busy recording his and Ragini’s movements on hiscamcorder. Ignoring some initial scares, they settle down to have some fun butare soon interrupted by their friends, Pia (Janice) and Vishal (Rajat), who areen-route to Matheran. The foursome chill together, but Vishal gets upset whenhe finds that Uday is not pleased with their presence, and they quickly depart.
Finally, alone, the two get moreintimate but are interrupted again by something that is not of this world. Theonly witnesses to the paranormal activity are the hidden cameras that weremeant to capture their lovemaking. Within the confines of the house, Ragini andUday are now at the mercy of an unexplainable supernatural force, a malevolentand vengeful speaking entity. With sundown approaching, what will the newentrants of the house do?
