Bollywood’s controversial actor Sunny Leone starrer horror-thriller 3D Ragini MMS 2 released this Friday and generated mixed reaction among the audience. The sequel to the 2011 horror movie Ragini MMS, is getting rave reviews from the critics for portraying excessive obscenity which has less to do with horror.
The plot is about a loud and lecherous director named Rocks who is now making a film on the Ragini MMS incident of the first film. So a cast and crew arrive at the haunted mansion where the first film took place and, of course, realise that something is very wrong. In the film, Sunny Leone plays an actor named Sunny who is also a porn star.
Anupama Chopra’s review in Hindustan Times says: “insipid characters and sloppy writing make Ragini MMS 2 unintentionally funny. The movie offers nothing more than a few cheap thrills.”
India Today’s review by Suhani Singh makes sarcastic comments on the film: “Ragini MMS 2 is hardly a spine-chilling tale. Ironically, the sequel to the 2011 film, which had genuine scream-inducing scenes, works better at tickling the funny bone. If the film continued to be a parody of the making of a horror film, which it does well, then we’d have a film on our hands. Instead we’re left with a two-hour feature in which the restless audience will be screaming in distress than fear.”
Times of India’s take on the film: “The film provides the usual creepy cliches - creaking windows, ghostly shadows and bedraggled bhoots (ghosts). There are a few spooky moments, but fewer leap-out-of-your-seat scenes.”
However, Sunny seemed to charm both the audiences and few critics as well.
