The
hype
around
Ragini
MMS
was
huge.
Its
raunchy
posters
and
the
subsequent
protests
added
more
publicity
to
the
film.
But
this
Ekta
Kapoor-produced
film
is
unlikely
to
live
up
to
the
hype,
as
it
has
got
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics.
Some
gave
good
reviews
while
others
gave
not
so
impressive
ones.
Popular
film
critic
Taran
Adarsh
is
in
all
praise
for
the
film
and
thinks
that
it"s
a
trend-setter.
“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," he
wrote.
Gaurav
Malani
also
thinks
Ragini
MMS
has
the
elements
to
send
chills
down
the
spine.
“Ragini
MMS
is
amongst
those
contemporary
horror
films
which
don't
delve
much
into
the
past
of
the
ghost,
yet
trying
to
present
some
chilling
moments,"
he
wrote,
adding,
“While
it's
not
absolutely
original
or
the
scariest
film
ever,
it's
not
formulaic
either,
like
most
Indian
face-horrors.
Ragini
MMS
stays
true
to
its
genre
and
does
induce
some
spooky
moments."
However,
Mihir
Fadnavis
is
not
impressed
by
the
film.
“Ragini
MMS
is
a
gigantic,
rubbery
wad
of
badness
—
it
is
just
another
derivative,
unpleasant
exercise
in
cliches
being
passed
off
as
horror,"
he
wrote.
“Ragini
MMS
is
never
terrifying.
Worse,
it
ends
with
a
silly
twist
that's
much
more
likely
to
raise
eyebrows
than
goosebumps.
Budget
limitations
are
no
excuse
for
sloppy,
nonsensical
writing,
for
as
busy
as
this
movie
is,
you'd
think
it
would
have
more
going
on,"
he
added.
Shubhra
Gupta
too
thinks
that
the
film
has
nothing
unique
to
offer.
“Ragini
MMS"
is
strange
mix
of
Hollywood
horror
influences
and
old-style
Bollywood
ghost
stories.
The
film
forgets
a
basic
axiom
:
what
you
cannot
see
is
far
more
scary.
Ragini
MMS"
borrows
its
voyeuristic
thread,
and
a
face
too
heavily
from
previous
Ekta
production
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhoka,
and
goes
about
showing
us
too
much,"
he
wrote.
Well,
Ragini
MMS,
directed
by
Pawan
Kripalani
and
starring
Raj
Kumar
Yadav
and
Kainaz
Motivala,
has
received
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics,
but
we
will
come
to
know
its
final
verdict
after
a
few
days.
