Story completely revolves around Manisha Sharma aka Mini (Revati). She is a college going girl. She moves to a new house with her parents. They don't know anything about the house. Their neighbour reveals the truth taht a couple died in that house years back. The lady's soul enters into Mini's body. Then on it's words she behaves very strangely. She won't know what is happening to her. Her boyfriend and her mother consult a magician (Om Puri) to cure her. With his effort Mini becomes normal.

Saaya



Our Indian people are always ready to invite new trend movies and new stories. We should accept all the fictions and fantasies of Hollywood movies. But ignores some of our Indian movies which are in such category. We can say Saaya which was directed by Anurag Basu as a best example for that.



This movie has shown Anurag Basu's good and fresh creative thinking. This is a thriller movie but the director has shown good sensible love between husband and wife. On the other hand selfishless friendship also. By Tara Sharma's character he shown people's responsiblity towards their country. John Abraham and Mahima Chaudhary did their best in this movie.




Ofcourse this is a failure movie but Anurag Basu impressed producer Mukhesh Bhatt. Mukesh produced his next movies like Murder, Gangster and Life In A Metro. All these became super hits. Locations which were shown in this movie are never seen in any Indian movie.

Agyaat


Ram Gopal Varma is directing a movie named Agyaat in Hindi and the same movie Agnaat in Telugu. Varma was inspired by the Hollywood movie Predator. Based on the story in Predator, Varma wrote his script. Predator is a horror movie and Arnold Schwarznegger starred in that.



One group of people goes to the forest and after entering into the forest one by one they will die. A mysterious personality kills these people. They fail to identify whether that is man or an animal.

Arnold Schwarznegger in PredatorLinkRam Gopal Varma is concentrating on this movie to make it a blockbuster. In Hollywood graphics were also one important reason for the movie's success. But Ram Gopal Varma never depends upon graphics. That is a movie which came decades back. We will find it unnatural if all the scenes in the movie were shot similarly. This is a sure test for Ramu's original talent.

Nitin Kumar Reddy
Nitin Kumar Reddy is the Telugu guy playing the lead role opposite Nisha Kothari in this movie. Ram Gopal Varma after bad disasters like Phoonk and Contract failed to get producers also in Bollywood for his next film Rann. So the audience is expecting he will make this film a sure hit.
