Reviews Of Movie:
In the late 70's Italian filmmakers like Lucio Fulci and Dardano Sachetti introduced a new genre in motion picture history-HORREX. A combination of horror and erotica obviously targeted at an adult audience. This genre caught up in a big way and you had a new wave of movies flooding the movie market.
In 2014, Ekta Kapoor and Bhushan Patel introduce this genre to the Indian audience in a big way in the form of RAGINI MMS 2 featuring Sunny Leone. They succeed in presenting Erotica in its truest form without resorting to obscenity, which itself is a tight rope walk when you have Sunny Leone in the movie and the movie going audience is already prejudiced about what the movie has to offer.
The introduction scene of Sunny Leone in this movie leaves very little to imagination and the ball sets rolling in to what is yet to come. The movie picks right from the the moment the first movie ends,Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) is in a lunatic asylum still haunted by the witch and is being treated by a psychiatrist Dr. Meera (Divya Dutta).
Rocks (Parvin Dabbas) announces a movie on the Ragini MMS scandal to be shot on actual location. He cast Sunny (Sunny Leone) a porn star in the lead role. The entire unit moves to the location and is stalked by the witch and killed in a gruesome fashion.
You have ample scary moments, the movie scares you and you also hear an occasional nervous giggle from the audience. There is a particular scary scene when Monali (Sandhya Mridul) is hanged upside down for a scene and she encounters two ghosts playing peek-a-boo with her and a scene which starts with a promise of a threesome (Sunny Leone, Parvin Dabbas and Sandhya Mridul) but ends in a gruesome death scene of one of the characters.
The movies takes erotica to new height and the makers are unapologetic about and why should they be, they delivered what they promised. Erotica is an art in itself and you require a competent filmmaker to be able to distinguish it from obscenity.
The following scenes will actually shock puritans, but they do work when it is eroticism you are looking at: 1. The baby doll song (much of it was censored on TV) 2. The shower scene between Sunny Leone and Karan Mehra 3. The kissing scene between Sandhya Mridul and Sunny Leone 4. Two Masturbation scenes (which go all the way) 5. Sunny's fake orgasm scene 6. Ample use of the F****K word without beeps (and no it was not used as a swear)
The movie does have shock galore as noted in the scenes below 1. The two kiddie ghosts playing peek-a-boo 2. The fingers from inside Sunny's throat (literally) 3. Anita Hassanandini's death sequence 4. The final exorcism scene
Sunny Leone struggles to act, but comes up with a beautiful performances in two of the best sequences In the movie:
1. The fake orgasm scene which she does to prove that even porn actors HAVE to act. This is on par with Meg Ryan's orgasm act in HARRY MET SALLY.
2. The exorcism scene where she uses the F word and mocks Divya Dutta and Saahil Prem.
The best performance in the movie however is by Sandhya Mridul as Monali, a drama queen, who is ready "for any thing" for a one scene role. Her drama queen performance evokes most of the hilarious moments in the movie. End of the movie, you just love to hate her. Anita Hassanandini is barely recognizable with tattoos and piercing but is her best with reaction scenes both in the orgasm sequence and the lesbian kiss. Her awe expression is superbly done.
Parvin Dabbas is fantastic as the lecherous director and his best in the movie was the press conference sequences.
Karan Mehra will probably be remembered for his fantastic performance in the Masturbation sequence and the aftermath of the shower scene.
Divya Dutta underplays her character, but comes up with in a winning performance in the climax during the showdown between her and Sunny. OK, the movie is not without its limitations, the witch's back story defies logic, but yes then again it is illogical to look for logic in horror features. But after the back story it is like "baath kuch nahin jammi yaroon" which haunts you at the back of your mind. The movie celebrates sex unabashedly but at least the film makers were not as hypocritic as Raj Kapoor who did the same thing in RAM TERI GANGA MAILI and attributed it to æsthetics.
The screenplay does not wander like other horror flicks, but gets straight to the point, the entire sequences right from the beginning to the end are phased evenly without any brain taxing. Yes it does lag during the flashback sequences but soon finds it way back.
Direction by Bhusan Patel, is noteworthy. He has succeeded where Pooja Bhatt failed-getting Sunny to act. It does prove the fact that when an actor fails to emote, it is the director who is to be blamed and not the actress. Getting Sunny to emote in the climax sequences is one of the biggest achievements of Mr. Patel. Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, should be given a pat on the back for backing a movie like this and taking Indian cinema to a new height—wish they concentrated on the plot though-which minus the amazing screenplay is something which a kindergarten kid could dream of to scare his peers.
Finally, Puritans please stay away from this movie and the rest of us----please do not try anything shown in the movie at home------could put you out of action for some days.
