Film: Bloody Ishq
Starring : Avika Gor, Vardhaan Puri, Jeniffer Piccinato, Rahul Dev, and others
Director : Vikram Bhatt
The plot follows a girl who loses her memory in an accident and finds sinister activity once she returns home. Who is trying to harm her and why? The answer lies within.
The film opens in a hospital, where Neha (Avika Gor) wakes up, with zero recollection of how she got there. Loving husband Romesh (Vardhan Puri) takes her by the hand and leads her into one of the most desolate castles on an island where there’s not a soul other than the two of them. No servants, no domestic-help, nothing!
Soon enough, Neha senses a disturbing presence in the house and starts to believe it’s haunted, but Romesh brushes off her fears. Yet, every person she meets trying to recover her past, tells her a contrasting story, leaving her feeling that her husband is hiding something.
The story is outdated and makes no sense at multiple points. You can guess the twists from a mile away. The entire film is made with CGI and the CGI work is extremely poor, like a first render, shared for creative approvals during film making. To top it all, not even one location is real, and it’s evident, making you feel like you’re watching a cartoon series.
The story telling is problematic, filled with absurd dialogue and unhinged scenes.
The horror elements are sparse and ineffective, often resulting in unintended laughter due to poor CGI and a weak screenplay. Even the climax fails to deliver genuine scares owing to shoddy CGI overused beyond reason.
Hit serial, Balika Vadhu’s child artist Avika Gor as Neha is the only saving grace in the film.
All in all a very poor horror flick! It is perhaps Vikram Bhatt’s worse film till date! Recommend to avoid at all costs.
