Story: Newly-married Tanushree Dutta finds her marital bliss turning into horror, when her new house ends up as haunted. There seems to be a strange inmate -- a mysterious, weeping child -- who is forcing her to do strange things. Will her sister, Udita Goswami manage to save her?

Movie Review: Most important question: scary enough? Well, there are enough goosebumps in this film to give you your money's worth. You may end up disappointed with the climax which once again concludes with the usual mumbo-jumbo of tantra and mantra that seems to mar all hybrid horror films.

But until then, there is a momentum that keeps you quite edgy as first, Tanushree Dutta and then, Udita Goswami, try to battle a ghost that keeps popping out of the dark shadows of the nightmarish house. Don't be fooled by her innocent looks. This one's a real meanie, despite being just a kid. Before the beautiful babes know, they are wielding knives and doing funny things with these sharp, glinty weapons. And no, there's no running away from the creepy kiddo. She follows you to mental asylums too and peers at you through the shadows. Nor is there anything that brawny cops (Shaad Randhawa) can do to keep her evil antics at bay. The only thing that can stop her is the big black book. But who can decipher it and how fast, 'coz our kid's in a hurry to consume all and sundry....

When it comes to horror films, there's just one thumb rule: darna zaroori hai! This desi Grudge does manage to bring out the chills, here and there. So, bide your time and watch this while you wait for the perfect Indian horror film.
