New Delhi:

An original and fresh concept which is neither ghastly nor ghostly!

All hopes to laugh out loud go straight into the drain after watching the first 15 minutes of the film.

The movie tries to deal with the feelings of Mumbaikers and ghosts, who are helpless in saving the heritage property of the city against unending construction of multi-story buildings and shopping malls.

There are characters from all the eras including a British ruler and all together they mess up the simplicity of the concept.

Sharman Joshi is playing the character of a writer, who wants a break to prove his mettle in the entertainment industry, but, finds a director who is visiting a haunted villa – the shoot location for his feature film.

Like every other person, the director refuses to hear his award winning script (At least according to him) but riding high on director’s head Sharman convinces him to hear his story.

He takes the example of the same villa and starts stitching characters to the script from the historical era.

After listening how characters came to stay in the villa, the director becomes excited and is eager to know what happens next. The story comes to a climax when a builder (Rajesh Khattar) buys this villa to demolish it totally and construct a lavish shopping mall.

Now, how this gang of ghosts save their house from the powerful builder takes you to the end of the film.

At last, you find the satire which tells the side effects of construction which is demolishing the earth.

Final verdict: Not a must watch but the positivity of the concept and acting by the experienced stars is enjoyable.
