Ek Thi Daayan

Movie: Ek Thi Daayan

Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin, Konkona Sen Sharma, Huma Qureshi

Direction: Kannan Iyer

Genre: Thriller,horrer

Plot:  A magician (Emraan) with a disturbing past is haunted

Story: Emraan Hashmi is cast as Bobo the magician, whose life seems to be falling apart. Although he has a sweet girlfriend (Huma Qureshi) and a seemingly content life, he can't rid himself of hallucinations that continually plague him.

Psychiatric help involves regression hypnosis. As Bobo's past comes alive through his memories, we get to know of his discomfort as a child over his stepmother (Konkona Sen Sharma). He talks of a daayan that had wrecked their home. When the charming Lisa Dutt (Kalki Koechlin), enters his life, Bobo is somehow convinced she could be the daayan from the past.

Screenplay: The build-up of the script (Vishal and Mukul Sharma) in the first half is superb. Smart twists prop the fear factor to constantly tease you. It all leaves a hint that Bobo's tale is not as simple as it originally seemed. Director Iyer throws in an underplayed love track between Emraan and Huma to balance out the chills.

Post-interval, though, the film starts losing pace. While the impish twist at the end is a winner, it unfolds only after a lazy second half has tested your patience. What works for the film, though, is its intention. It isn't peddling superstitious. Rather, Iyer delves into the recesses of the human mind to craft a dark thriller that regales
.
