Critic's Review

As we struggle with our fast lifestyle, high stress levels; our feelings have also changed indirectly! We have become less sensitive and this is the reason why the factors which used to entertain us have become more and more bold and 'fear' is one of them! Ramsey movies which where the ultimate horror movies in the 80's have become the laughing stock of today! Nowadays we fear the 'Silence', because it doesn't reveal what's going to happen next?

'Aik' is Pratik Kadam's first venture as a director. Technically the movie is good but lacks in story and scripting which results in disappointment. The movie is based on a family - Rishi, Aditi and their son. Rishi works in a TV channel as a creative director. Due to work pressure, he is neglecting his family which causes rift between him and his wife Aditi. Amidst, he is launching a horror reality show for his channel. At the last moment, instead of participants, Rishi and Aditi are forced to take part in the show. The task is to rescue Aditi from a haunted house's closed room and there begins a new game!

Director has made the movie on story by Swapnil Jadhav and Janmejay Patil but there are few weak links. The scriptwriters haven't taken the efforts to show the preparations which went into making any reality TV show. 3 days prior to the launch, the channel is still searching for the participants, location (a haunted house) which is ridiculous. Even the channel head is just shown panicking in such situation. All the things look far fetched and artificial. We have already seen better efforts through shows like 'Aahat', 'Honi Anhoni' etc. and so the expectation from horror movies is much more! It is not fulfilled while watching 'Aik'!

Maybe the script is so weak that the director has decided to concentrate on the background music since it's crucial in every horror movie. Background score of 'Aik' only makes you jump once in a while. There is lot of contrast in the dialogues and the situation. For example, when the anchor of the show says 'as you are seeing, this haveli is in complete darkness' you can see that the lights are on inside! When the hero goes inside the haveli saying it's in dark, you can see a light coming in through the window!!

The actors didn't have any option but to play their roles as per the bland script. Actors Aditi Sarangdhar (Aditi), Prasad Oak (Sandy), Shekhar Phadke, Suhas Palshikar has all done their part accordingly. Swapnil Jadhav has taken the responsibility of story, script and dialogues alongwith acting too. But he has fallen short of playing 'Rishi'.

Overall, 'Aik' doesn't make you scream in horror at an unexpected moment; if it would have been then it was worth watching.
