Horror is one such genre where filmmakers bank upon hugely to get success. ‘Mumbai 125 KM’ is the latest horror film starring Karanvir Bohra, Veena Malik, Vedita Pratap Singh, Joey Debroy and Vije Bhatia. Directed by Hemant Madhukar, this film has hit the theaters today. Let’s now see how this film is.

Story:-                                                                                       

A bunch of five friends start their journey to Mumbai to celebrate their new year’s eve. During their journey, they face many untoward incidents which scare them to the core. A scary ghost (Veena Malik) goes on a killing spree, and starts killing each of the youngsters.

Who is this ghost ? Why is she killing these friends? Will any of them escape from the evil clutches of the ghost? That forms the rest of the story.

Positive Points:-

All the young actors have done a decent job with their performance. But definitely they need to work on their emotions, as they end up overacting in few scenes. Veena Malik provides the much needed glamour to this horror flick. Her skin show will definitely raise the temperatures.Most of the scenes in the first half keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, as they are very well designed. The entire first half of the film is decent with a gripping screenplay.

Negative Points:-

As in any other horror flick, this film too has routine scenes and predictable story. The director might have been inspired by many horror films and this is the reason we can find similar scenes that have come in mostly RGV films. You can also find the glimpses of the film ‘Final Destination’ when each one from the group starts getting killed.

There is a overdose of love making which does not go well with the family audience. Veena Malik’s performance as a ghost is good, but her makeup, dressing and the way she was flown up in the air looks nonsense. After a gripping first half, director has lost out on the screenplay and ended up making it below average climax.

Technical Aspects:-

Cinematography is just about decent as there is nothing much to showcase. The filmmakers promoted that the entire movie was shot with stereoscopic 3D cameras, but there is not much difference in the final product. Songs in the film are just about average and so is the background score. Though the editor has done a decent job, he should have taken more care on the second half.

Coming to director Hemanth Madhukar, he, wrote the complete first half with all the necessary ingredients required for a horror flick but lost his grip in the second half.

Outcome:-

On the whole, ‘Mumbai 125 KM’ is just a routine and ordinary film. Except for a few horror scenes in the first half, and Veena Malik’s skin show, there is nothing much to watch out for. Those have a niche for horror films can give it a shot, but the rest can avoid it safely.
