Gang of Ghosts Story

Gang of Ghosts movie is the story about a haunted house which is being pulled down and being replaced with a swanky shopping mall. Apparently, the ghosts who belong to different era consider this as their home so what happens later on shapes the rest of the story. Story in detail: The grand old mansions and mills of South Mumbai are being razed to the ground to make way for swanky condominiums, malls and Multiplexes. Some of these dilapidated disputed buildings were haunted by Ghosts who had taken shelter there over centuries. They were evicted and are homeless today.There is no rehabilitation package on offer. Politicians, media, intellectuals, civic society- no one gives a dam to them. After all, Ghosts can't vote. Royal Mansion is one such heritage property which is rented out for film shoots to facilitate its maintenance. A heroine faints during a shooting allegedly sighting Ghost in a mirror. A filmmaker on a reconnaissance trip to the building gets to hear of a spooky story revolving around the house. But is it just a tall tale or is there a twisit in the 'tail'? Song & dance, drama, romance, action and even an item number. 'GANG OF GHOSTS' has all the Filmi Masala as well as some food for thought.

Gang of Ghosts Critics Review

IANS
Ghosts were never supposed to be funny...until Ivan Reitman made "Ghostbusters" in 1984. Satish Kaushik's funny-ghost story is most certainly not "Ghostbuster" re-'bhoot'-ed. Rajesh Khattar as the avaricious builder with his thick Gujarati accent that cuts through the saturated soundtrack reminds us of the really comic films about land usurpation like Dibakar Bannerjee's "Khosla Ka Ghosla". "Gang Of Ghosts" goes into convulsions of periodicity induced though some badly-written songs recreating a nasal nostalgia and through different shades of off-colour photography where the cinematographer (Johnny Lal) seems to quickly lose interest in the aura of the era. The shades of grey conveying an era gone-by begin to pale and fall apart soon enough. That's the trouble with this comedy. Everything is half-hearted. The premise pulsates with parodic possibilities. Satish has a vast cast of talented actors at his disposal. Alas, most of them seem to be on comic probation, doling out their attention to the humour in the script with rationed casualness. Some characters do manage that spark in the dark. Mahie Gill's coquettish over-dramatic Mala Sinha-styled actress is well performed. Saurabh Shukla as a Bengali ghost scores with well-delivered lines. Saurabh speaks as though he believes in ghosts while many of his co-stars couldn't care less. Most of the other actors seem to toss their indifferently-written dialogues on their tongue for taste, and then quickly split them out. Some talented actors like Parambrata Chatterjee and Rajpal Yadav just plainly seem to be out of sorts, searching for something to peg their skills to. The narration is slippery as an eel. The humour generated by ghosts on the verge of eviction is drowned in numbers. Characters crowd the plot like queues at a ration shop not sure whether the promised food supply would reach their hands. You wish Satish, an actor and filmmaker of tremendous comic possibilities would have paid more attention to making the ghosts come alive with more animated energy. Curiously, this must be the first ghost story without any special effects conjuring spirits. Experimental or just plain budget-challenged? The film does infuse a semblance of satirical spark in the spook saga. There are some portions where the spirits rise to an endearing level. If only the narration was able to make us believe that ghosts can be fun even when they are on the verge of losing their homes. Without the advantage of a credulous script, these other-worldly characters don't stand a ghost of a chance.
