Oh, witch, come tomorrow! (This is a rarity, but don’t believe it, interesting!) /i>
I haven’t seen anything with Shraddha Kapoor in a long time, so I came across this movie. I’m so fascinated by horror movies (although I know that horror movies are bad in Indian cinema) that I bought it — well, I think it’s going to be scary. And you know, at times it was — no, not scary, but so cheerful. This is more of a black comedy than a horror movie. The comedy component was contributed by Rajkumar Rao. I don't like this actor, what do you want to do to me? He's certainly talented, but there's something repulsive about him. He looks very good in comedies. I perceived him here – not as a guy who fell in love at his own risk with a girl from nowhere, while a witch wanders the streets of his city and takes young men to his lair – but as a comedy character.
The movie was made for some ridiculous money, but brought considerable profit. I read that there was no advertising on it at all, but the audience came to the theaters several times! At the heart of the film, as already written in the annotation - ancient legends that there was such a woman-dancer, someone there did not marry her, cheated her, and now she takes revenge - takes men to his house during the holiday, which lasts several days. In order for her to bypass your house, you need to write on the house (mainly, respectfully) - "Oh, witch! Come tomorrow! That is, we learn that a witch can read and loves to be treated with respect. Fuck you guys. Well, maybe she's making up for the neglect she had when she was a courtesan. After she calls them three times - that's all, the man disappeared. There is only one piece of clothing on the ground. All she wants is naked men. What she's doing with all the men she steals is also a mystery. Maybe he eats them for dinner. Maybe he's doing something with them. Nobody knows, they're not coming back. And if they return, as in the case of a friend of the protagonist, they are completely under her power and do what she wants.
The main character of Vicki (Rajkumar) is the local Dolce and Gabbana (pardon me, local Manish Malhotra), who can at one glance at a girl / woman determine her measurements and sew her dress. The guy has talent. And when he meets a beautiful girl during the holiday, who asks to sew her outfit, it does not even occur to him that she can be somehow connected with a witch, for the simple reason that he does not believe in a witch and does not believe in spirits at all. His opinion changes when kidnappings begin in the city. He's freaking out. They start fighting the witch. Do I have to? Maybe it’s not a witch at all... it’s just a woman offended in a past life. I don't know. Personally, my sympathies were with the witch.
Visual effects were few, the Director more and more fog (literally), replacing special effects voiceover sounds, grinding and whispering. The witch, if she appears in the frame, hangs in the air, and then makes a sharp jerk to the victim. It is noteworthy that although the witch looks very artificial (like a doll), in the frame was a live actress.
There were so many jokes and so much humor. The life of the city is very realistic. Residents are always in a hurry somewhere, doing something, laughing, although their laughs are specific. It was fun when all the men in town changed into saris so they wouldn't be dragged away by a witch. And this town of Chanderi is not a fictional place, it is a real city with its residents, where "Witch/Woman" and filmed. So all these hills, lakes and forests are not decorations, but the real surroundings of the town.
Yes, and Shraddha is charming here. The name of her heroine remained a mystery, shrouded in fog. She smiled sweetly throughout the film, except for those moments when she thoughtfully stared past the camera. I've completely forgotten about her lately, it's inexcusable. You need to see all the new ones.
There was an incendiary number with Nora Fatehi. Since the movie worked at the box office, I think there will be a sequel. If you want something fresh and unbeaten, I suggest you watch this horror-thrush-comedy.
