The Raigni MMS fame director Pawan Kriplani is once again back with his psycho thriller drama film. Once again he has tried to horrify the audience with a number of spine chilling sequences in the movie keeping RadhikaApte at the center. In fact, as you catch up this film and compare with the previous one, the director seems to have gone one step ahead in making a scary film which will definitely going to give tremors around their chair. You have a girl in suffering from agoraphobia. The film has a series of sequences, which the lady lives with, hence it may be interesting to catch the film provided you love this genre of films, and otherwise it would be a sheer waste of time. At times you may find the film becoming predictable, however, looking at the over picture there are loads of confusion about things happening around the character giving the audience reason to get glued to their chair to catch the film till the climax.
Now, talking about the performance, Radhika Apte seems to have done an impressive performance over the silver screen. Perhaps with similar characters played in her earlier movies, she seems to have mastered the character that come along with professionalism and dexterity. Her character has loads of variation in terms of emotions having the scare and fear dominating, which she seems to have done justice while playing the character of Mehek in the film. Besides Radhika Apte, you have actors like Satyadeep Mishra, Yashaswini Dayama and Ankur Vikal playing a number of important characters in the film, which have been perfectly showcased by them thereby boosting up the entertainment value of the movie. The other elements like music, direction, screenplay and technical elements like editing seemed okay, which somehow managed to boost up the entertainment value.
Phobia Review – Last Word
Phobia is essentially a limited story film, which has one lady at the center being the victim of certain phobias. So, it is more about a performance based flick, showcasing the psychological elements, which have been showcased with the right shade of emotions on the silver screen. RadhikaApte was too apt while giving her performance for the psychological thriller. Hence one may not find much content from the film to be interesting; however, it would be liked by the people who have this taste of watching the movie. The thriller scenes in the official trailer of the movie may not attract the audience but once you walk inside the screen, you end up getting glued to the film till it reaches to its last sequence.
