After
all
hindrances
like
pulling
down
the
hoardings,
blackening
the
faces
of
the
lead
pair
on
the
posters,
Censor
board
chopping
off
a
few
explicit
scenes
from
the
main
footage,
Ragini
MMS
has
emerged
as
a
winner
by
turning
any
publicity
into
a
good
publicity.
What
matters
at
the
end
is
a
strong
concept
in
the
film
which
lures
the
audience
and
entertains
them.
Story
The
shown
couple,
Ragini
(Kainaz
Motivala)
and
Uday
(Raj
Kumar
Yadav),
set
out
for
a
planned
dirty
weekend
at
a
friend's
farmhouse
on
the
outskirts
of
Mumbai.
The
much-in-love
and
passionate
weekend
in
no
time
changes
to
the
most
horrible
experience
ever.
They
find
that
the
entire
house
is
rigged
with
cameras,
just
in
the
Bigg
Boss
style.
The
cameras
were
meant
to
capture
the
love-making
scenes
between
them.
The
couple
learn
something
that
is
beyond
the
limitations
of
human
understanding,
something
metaphysical,
paranormal.
The
couple
Ragini
and
Uday
are
now
at
the
mercy
of
that
paranormal
force.
The
sundown
is
approaching
and
the
couple
do
not
find
a
way
out,
What
will
they
do?
Plus
Points
Ragini
MMS
is
a
great
example
of
a
high-concept
film
made
in
a
skeletal
budget,
which
works
big
time.
First
it
was
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
and
now
it
is
Ragini
MMS,
Ekta
Kapoor
has
set
new
trends
of
making
a
film
successful,
in
a
low
budget,
without
any
A-lister
in
it.
Ragini
MMS,
shows
the
horror
genre
in
a
way,
which
has
never
been
explored
earlier
in
India.
Director
Pavan
Kirpalani
chooses
a
real-life
scandal
and
adds
up
sex
and
horror
to
it.
This
makes
Ragini
MMS
work
for
both
kind
of
viewers,
who
have
an
appetite
for
horror
and
even
who
like
to
watch
love
with
a
little
bit
of
skin
show.
Camera
work
in
both
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
and
Ragini
MMS
is
like
they
have
been
shot
in
real
time.
The
unconventional
way
of
camera
makes
it
look
realistic
like
watching
the
footage
on
a
handycam.
This
real
experience
of
love,
sex
and
of
course
the
third
force
make
you
jump
off
your
seat.
The
timing
between
each
movement
of
each
frame
and
the
usage
of
silence
is
spine-chilling.
Cinematography
is
general
and
in
sync.
Though
the
film
works
on
the
lines
of
Paranormal
Activity,
Ragini
MMS
has
a
totally
different
concept.
The
old
elements
of
a
hindi
horror
film
like
white
saree,
song
etc,
are
done
away
with.
Ragini
MMS
has
a
very
western
approach
with
a
desi
touch.
The
emotions
like
love,
sex,
passion,
fear
have
been
used
very
appropriately.
There
is
no
scope
for
songs
in
the
film,
however
the
back
ground
scores
by
Faizan
Agnel
is
mind
blowing.
He
has
gone
beyond
the
usage
of
throbbing
music,
digitized
screams
and
high-pitched
shrieks
to
give
the
horror
feeling.
Performances
Both
the
actors
Raj
Kumar
Yadav
(who
was
also
seen
in
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha)
and
Kainaz
Motivala
are
truly
outstanding.
Leaving
behind
all
hesitations
the
actors
deliver
striking
performances.
The
love
making
scenes
between
them
looks
real
and
adds
up
to
the
mood
of
Ragini
MMS.
Loop
holes
The
film
stagnates
for
a
few
minutes,
post-interval,
but
bucks
up
soon
and
maintains
the
pace
till
the
very
climax.
Though
the
film
is
short
(approx
100
minutes),
one
still
feels
that
there
were
certain
things
that
could've
snappy
towards
the
middle
of
the
second
half.
Even,
the
card
at
the
end
that
shares
some
vital
info
on
the
characters
and
the
conclusion,
could've
had
a
longer
hold,
so
that
it
registers
well.
However,
these
minor
flaws
don't
really
take
away
much
from
the
impact
that
the
rest
of
the
film
creates
on
the
viewers.
Over
All
On
the
whole,
RAGINI
MMS
is
a
fine
amalgamation
of
horror,
paranormal
activity
and
sex.
In
simple
words
it
is
a
creepy,
spine-chilling
date
movie,
that
imparts
a
story
which
is
daunting,
imaginative
and
unconventional.
It
is
an
innovative
form
of
sex
and
horror,
which
will
impress
the
Gen
X.
Have
a
panicky
weekend
with
Ragini
MMS.
