Friday Release: Ram Gopal Varma ready to scare you in 'Bhoot Returns'

New Delhi: Ram Gopal Varma is all set to scare his audiences in ‘Bhoot Returns’. The maverick director has come up with the sequel of his 2003 film ‘Bhoot’. The theme of ‘Bhoot Returns’ is similar to ‘Bhoot’ but the new film promises more spine chilling moments.

The film stars Manisha Koirala, JD Chakravarthy, Madhu Shalini and Alayana Sharma in the lead roles. All the prominent actors of the film have worked with RGV in the past. Madhu Shalini debuted in Hindi films with RGV’s ‘Department’ while Manisha Koirala had received critical acclaim in Varma’s pathbreaking film ‘Company’.

JD Chakravarthy is not an unknown face for Bollywood fans. He was seen in ‘Satya’, a film that established RGV as a director with distinct aesthetic sense. It’s true that Varma is still a prolific filmmaker but his reputation has been hampered in recent times.

With six films being released on October 12, 2012, the audiences really have a lot to choose from. Take a look... (A still from Aiyyaa)
After playing a serious journalist in 'No One Killed Jessica', Rani Mukerji is back with romantic comedy 'Aiyyaa'.
Rani Mukerji will be seen romancing southern actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in the movie.
Rani plays the character of a Marathi girl in the movie, who falls in love with a Tamil actor.
Rani has done three item numbers in the movie. 'Aga Bai', 'Dreamum Wakepum' and 'Sava Dollar' have already become a rage.
Directed by Sachin Kundalkar, Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 have jointly produced the film.
Ram Gopal Varma's 'Bhoot Returns' will also hit the screens tomorrow.
'Bhoot Returns' is the sequel to RGV's successful film 'Bhoot', which was released in 2003.
Manisha Koirala, JD Chakravarthy, Madhu Shalini and Alayana Sharma are in the star cast of the film.
Also being released in 3D, the film looks inspired from a few Hollywood films.
Let's wait and watch whether 'Bhoot Returns' manages to scare the audiences or not.
Director Bedabrata Pain's film 'Chittagong' will finally hit the screens tomorrow .
The movie is set in 1930s British-occupied India (now Bangladesh), where a group of young men and women, led by a schoolteacher fought with the Empire.
The 'Gangs of Wasseyour' actor Manoj Bajpayee returns as Masterda Surya Sen with 'Chittagong'.
Vega Tamotia, Jaideep Ahlawat and Alexx O'Nell are also a part of the film.
Bedabrata Pain and Shonali Bose has written the script of 'Chittagong'.
'Makkhi', the Hindi version of S S Rajamouli's Telugu film 'Eega' is also being released on October 12.
Sudeep, Nani and Samantha play the lead roles in the movie.
Director S S Rajamouli's 'Makhhi' is said to have brilliant visual effects.
The movie was released in Tamil and Telugu in July 2012. After the phenomenal success down south, 'Makkhi' is all set to compete with the Bollywood films.
Do you think 'Makkhi' can give a tough fight to 'Aiyyaa' and 'Bhoot Returns'?
Another film which is being released this week is 'In the Name of Tai'.
'In the Name of Tai' has been written, directed and produced by Ujjwal V Thengdi.
This female dominated film has Nishiganda Wad, Asrani, Dr Vilas Ujawne, Mahesh Thakur and Parag Ajgaonkar in the star cast.
Chandrachur Singh, Shreya Narayan, Chitrashi Rawat and Sanjay Suri's 'Prem Mayee' is also being released on October 12.
With almost no publicity, do you think 'Prem Mayee' has any chances at the box office?

$Friday Release: RGV, Manisha\'s \'Bhoot Returns\'$

The first poster of \'Bhoot Returns\' fetched attention due to optical illusions used in it.

He is man of extremes. On one hand, he makes films such as ‘Satya’, ‘Company’ and ‘Sarkar’, while on the other hand, he comes up with ‘James’, ‘Agyaat’ and ‘Aag’.

The basic story-line is again the same where a family shifts to a haunted house. The trailers of the film suggest something similar to ‘Paranormal Activity’. The way photography is handled in ‘Bhoot Returns’, it seems RGV is going to focus more on 3D effects.

The first poster of the film fetched attention due to the optical illusion used in it but that left the audience wondering whether RGV will feature optical illusions in the film also or not.

RGV’s special interest in horror and gangster genres is not hidden from anyone; seldom does the director focus on romantic stories. This interest leads to innovative ideas at times, like we saw in ‘Bhoot’.

Even his relatively weaker films have something to boast about when it comes to style, so the spectators will be looking forward to another stylish film in ‘Bhoot Returns’.
