Filmmaker
Ram
Gopal
Varma
has
rocked
the
Telugu
viewers
with
his
stunning
crime
thriller
Rakta
Charitra
last
year.
Although
his
recent
movie
Department
was
to
release
with
dubbed
version
in
Telugu,
he
could
not
do
it
due
to
the
poor
response.
Now,
he
is
back
with
a
horror
movie
Boochi.
But
RGV
lets
you
down
badly
this
time.
Boochi
is
dubbed
version
of
3D
horror
film
Bhoot
Returns.
Although
it
has
been
promoted
as
a
sequel
to
RGV's
Bhoot,
there
is
nothing
much
to
connect
with
Bhoot
except
the
similarity
in
haunted
house.
Its
plot
bears
a
striking
resemblance
to
the
RGV's
Vaastu
Shastra.
The
main
attraction
of
the
movie
Boochi
is
its
stunning
special
effects.
Besides
this,
Chakravarthy
and
Manisha's
performance,
wonderful
camerawork,
good
background
score,
excellent
art
direction
are
its
other
highlights.
Although
RGV
has
several
elements
to
scare,
he
still
falls
short
of
something,
which
makes
you
sit
on
edge
of
the
seat,
watching
it
biting
your
nails.
The
director
has
no
grip
on
its
narration.
Another
drawback
is
the
3D
effect,
which
remains
unimpressive.
Tarun
(Chakravarthy)
moves
in
to
a
luxurious
bungalow,
that
he
has
acquired
on
a
rather
cheap
rent,
with
his
wife
Namrata's
(Manisha
Koirala),
10-year-old
Taman
and
6-year-old
Nimmi.
During
an
exploration
of
the
house,
Nimmi
finds
a
cute
looking
doll
and
she
introduces
it
as
'Dolly'.
One
day,
Tarun's
younger
sister
Pooja
(Madhu
Shalini)
makes
a
surprise
visit
to
the
family.
As
the
family
is
discussing
Nimmi's
fixation
over
her
imaginary
friend
Shabbu,
the
domestic
help
Laxman
reveals
presence
of
a
spirit
in
Nimmi's
life.
Suddenly
strange
things
start
occurring
around
the
bungalow.
What
happens
next
will
form
an
interesting
part
of
the
film.
Another
drawback
of
the
movie
Boochi
is
that
it
does
not
offer
much
scope
to
the
acting.
Manisha
Koirala
has
delivered
a
brilliant
performance
in
her
comeback
movie.
Chakravarthy
is
good
in
his
role
but
his
acting
looks
monotonous
throughout
the
film.
Madhu
Shalini
makes
sure
to
impress
you.
Child
artist
Alayna
is
also
good
in
her
role.
In
the
technical
front,
Sandeep
Chowta's
background
score
is
the
main
highlight.
It
really
heightens
the
effect
of
many
ordinary
sequences.
Harshraj
Shroff
and
Ravichandran's
cinematography
is
good,
but
the
3D
technology
has
not
been
utilised
to
the
maximum.
The
editing
work
is
also
commendable.
Overall,
it
can
be
said
that
Boochi
is
not
the
top
horror
movie
of
RGV.
It
is
ranked
lowest
in
the
list
of
RGV's
previous
horror
films
like
Raat,
Bhoot
and
Phoonk.
