I strongly feel that if you do not have a colossal budget on hand, then you need to make up for that with an even better concept. Let's not forget, big ideas work big time. In fact, hi-concept films made in skeletal budgets is the new mantra in Bollywood. The next time budgetary constraints prevent you from working with an A-list star, don't sweat. Formulate hi-concept films instead! Take an interesting concept. Make it within a stipulated budgetRead full review4.0

On the whole, RAGINI MMS amalgamates components of horror, paranormal and sex seamlessly. It titillates, it petrifies, but most importantly, it tells you a story which is daunting, imaginative and unconventional. The lethal combo of sex and horror should entice not just the average moviegoer, but also Gen X and the more evolved audience that values and embraces innovative themes and new genres of cinema.Read full review3.5

The film has obviously been inspired by Paranormal Activity, the cult horror film that created waves with its grainy hand-held video footage. But rest assured, there is such a strong desi flavour to the film, you rarely end up thinking of the Hollywood indie film. Ragini and Uday make an interesting couple. She's the fragile uptown girl, unabashed about expressing her sexual demands. While he's the desi boy who sprinkles his conversation with gaalisRead full review3.5

Films that are conventionally shot but claim to use real-life footages tend to have an eerie aura around them. With Balaji's latest roll-out, Ragini MMS -- a sex-induced paranormal thriller -- the industry's unrelenting hunger to seek inspiration from the West continues. American indie film Paranormal Activity, which rose to shockingly unexpected heights and raked in multi-folded returns on a miniscule investment, is the fundamental motivation of the makersRead full review3.5

Watch it for its novelty and for the fact that Ragini MMS makes a heady cocktail of sex and horror that’s so very different from run-of-the-mill Bollywood.Read full review3.5

Terrifyingly real, and immensely watchable for the cold fright it inspires. She must be lauded for relying on fresh young actors, and believing in the risky attempt of largely untouched storytelling.Read full review3.0

Boy and girl decide to spend a dirty weekend in a deserted bungalow in a God-forsaken place. As soon as they enter, they start making out and in the meanwhile, a plastic bag nearby seems to have a life of its own. And you are spooked already. But a sense of d ©j vu sets in too, because you are familiar with these kinds of scenes almost in every horror movie that you have dared to watch. But thankfully, what sets Ragini MMS apart is that the story is shownRead full review2.5

In 'Ragini MMS', a young couple head off to an abandoned bungalow on the outskirts of the city so they can finally have some privacy and do the nasty. Uday (played by 'Love Sex aur Dhokha's Raj Kumar Yadav) has previously arranged to have every corner of the house rigged with video cameras so he can secretly film his steamy encounter with Ragini (played by Kainaz Motivala) and hand over the footage to a shady producer who has promised him a film roleRead full review2.5

Ragini MMS is that rare Bollywood horror film which understands that your best bet to scare the audience is not with what you show but with what you don’t show. It doesn’t matter if it is things or thongs flying in 2D or 3D, it is always the unseen that creeps you out the most. Really, the white faces have long been buried in the backyard of the Ramsay haveli. Last Friday, Haunted had ridden the 3D wave, trying to take advantage of being the first-moverRead full review2.5

The title RAGINI MMS was more than enough to grab your attention. It gave an impression that the film was based on an MMS scandal. Then, the promos made it clear that there was a paranormal element attached to the film as well. So is it a good blend of sex and horror? Let's find out. The story first. Uday (Raj Kumar Yadav) sets out for a romantic weekend with his girlfriend Ragini (Kainaz Motiwala) at a friend's farmhouse on the outskirts of MumbaiRead full review2.5

Those in the know may recall, 2004 was a particular poor year at Hindi movies. A skin flick called Murder was supposedly the year’s biggest hit. One picture that I suspect more people watched on their computers or phones than at the cinemas was an MMS clip starring two high school kids. It was an obscene porn video shot on a cellphone camera, set in a chemistry lab. The location was unwittingly sponsored by my alma mater, Delhi Public School, RK PuramRead full review2.0

When Dibakar Banerjee took a previously done concept to make Love Sex Aur Dhokha (LSD), he not only created cinematic poetry but its commercial success made its studio greedy enough to replicate the formula. Sadly, what the studio did not realise is that unlike science, in cinema, formulas can not always be replicated. Proof - Ragini MMS, a clone between LSD, Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. Uday (Raj Kumar) takes RaginiRead full review1.5

Ragini MMS does not seem to be the work of one or a few creative soul, rather it looks like the handiwork of many heads trying to break creativity together that end up breaking apart the film instead.Read full reviewNR
