Namrata Joshi Outlook 01/04/2019
3/4
The scenes unfold slowly and deliberately, there are long tracks of complete silence and minimal use of dialogue that together create an uncanny mood. Go to Full Review

The movie belongs to Bollywood sex symbol Urmila Matondkar, who is terrific as the possessed wife. Go to Full Review
Sankhayan Ghosh Film Companion 10/30/2020
No other city gives off this sense of isolation as strongly as Mumbai, where each apartment is an island. Varma's signature low-angle camera works well with the spatial angularity of the flat... Go to Full Review

Bhoot could have easily taken its place among some of the better horror films out there. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 06/03/2003
2/5
Though at two hours this non-musical supernatural tale is considerably shorter than most mainstream Indian films, it's still slow going, padded with long shots of the troubled apartment building underscored by a soundtrack full of moans and screams. Go to Full Review

01/02/2020 An amateurish film that relies only on jump scares. The lead actress is annoying as hell, as are the other characters. Terrible acting and very slow moving. Don't waste your time. I didn't even make it halfway through the film. See more 05/15/2013 For a Bollywood entry into horror, I give it a fair nod of approval. There's some slick shots and nifty ideas, but it gets less terrifying the longer it goes. See more 04/02/2013 One of the few Hindi horror movies I liked...not badly done! See more 10/26/2012 there are only few times when Ram Gopal Varma clicks ,this was one of those times See more 06/27/2010 This movie marks the pinnacle of Urmila's acting career - where she totally rocked role as the possessed housewife !! Additionally it was one of the last good RGV flicks ... as since then it has been a downhill road for him too !!! See more 02/25/2010 Lots of atmosphere and good suspense with intentionally deliberate pacing, not something you see that often any more. This has some pretty decent scares with ghosts, menacing personnel, and a good depiction of possession. Urmila Matondkar seems genuinely tormented, but reins it in enough to maintain the premise. It's too bad this was not more popular. See more Read all reviews
