Mallika Movie Reviews

Now we don't know why the film makers made this film. And we don't know who they made it for? Is it for the usual horror film buff who has been recently wowed by stuff like Paranormal Activity? Is it for the comedy film buff who has just sampled the delicious satire Peepli Live and laughed his head off in Tere bin Laden? Or is it for the C-grade smut film viewer who anyway will end up grumbling despite the fact that the film has just two kind of scenes

Certain stories that the Ramsay Brothers attempted a few decades ago are being rehashed and packaged in new avtaars to this date. The revenge of the restless soul, the reincarnation bit, the spate of murders, the decomposed dead body coming to life... haven't we watched it all in the past? MALLIKA is hackneyed, uninspired and clichéd from start to end. Also, there's nothing in the film that would make you jump out of your seat or give you sleepless nights at home.

In B-Town flicks genuine scares are hard to come by. Even more so, given our exposure to the likes of Hollywood's gigantic creepy-crawlies, hideous monsters in the closets and under the beds, we don't scare easily. Sanjana (Nayyar) is a clairvoyant haunted by nightmares. She can see the past and the future in her subconscious state wherever she lives. Fed up, she decides to go visit a secluded fort converted into a hotel in the hope that the bad dreams will go away

Mallika is not a horror film, it is a horrible film!
