Ragini MMS 2

Ragini MMS 2

The movie aspires to be "Horrex" (combination of horror and sex). There is even a dialog in the movie stating this aspiration. However, it fails to deliver either horror or sex.

I like Karenjit Kaur Vohra AKA Sunny Leone but not the kind of porn she does. You know, screaming, making faces, fake demeanor and all that. Had started to watch one of her porn movies out of curiosity but stopped it midway. But most other men like it. If you are one of those, chances are that you may feel a bit titillated in some scenes. There's even kiss shot between her and Sandhya Mridul as a mock-up of her lesbian porn-scenes. However, after having watched her hardcore porn, these 2-3 abrupt, censored, scaled-down-on-sexuality, fit-for-mainstream-movie scenes may not satiate you like you expect to.

The horror part is ludicrous, to say the least. The kind of horror nuggets you've been watching in movies since the beginning of time have been very badly mashed up. Mashed up with deafening sound in the background. The makers thought the louder and the more jarring the sound, the more scared the audience would be. Stupid thought.

As usual, Sunny Leone has played herself - porn-star turned mainstream actress. Even her name is Sunny Leone in the movie. In one scene, she even tries to justify her porn career by spoofing a porn act. I would like to see her in hot, glamorous roles indeed but not playing a porn-star. Enough of it.

Saahil Prem tries hard to look the macho, silent type. Ends up looking and acting constipated.

Divya Dutta didn't have much to perform.

Everyone else, who had some "comedy" to do, overacts; be it Parvin Dabas or Karan Mehra or Sandhya Mridul. I don't blame it on them, I blame it on the director who must have asked it from them to make them look funny. Most of the time, they look irritating instead. Sandhya Mridul is one of the finest actresses and she did act really well, given the scope and the director. Plus she looks sexy at 45 playing a young actress! Kudos!

Just like the first part, there is mispronounced and incomplete Hanuman Chaalisa that runs with the titles. And to drive away the evil spirit, Divya Dutta recites a sacred stotra very improperly and the evil spirit is shown mimicking it in a ridiculing way. Being a Hindu and a Hanuman devotee, I didn't like that. However, I won't demand a ban on the movie or vandalize the theaters. :)

If you like Baby Doll song, as I do, and are planning to watch the movie just for it, watch the song on Youtube instead. There are two very slightly different versions there, one little bit bolder than the other.

If you want scary entertainment, you can watch a good and real horror movie, if you want sexual thrill, you can watch explicit porn of Sunny Leone. Most people in the movie were there for the "let's see a porn-star do another mainstream movie" amusement-factor. You may watch it for the same reason. There's no other good reason I can think of.
