A novel genre in Bollywood; ‘Horror Comedy’, the film did exceedingly well because of its messaging.

It stuck to the conventions of building the spooky quotient and having decent special effects in its scares. The purpose though, wasn’t to create fear, but to solve and resolve. They do so with great sensitivity and introspection.

Rajkummar Rao is his usual dependable self and Shraddha Kapoor is mysterious and appropriate.

An entertaining watch!
