Horror outings usually elicit two reactions — they either have you glued to your seat, too scared to make a noise, or make you laugh. Indian spookfests have often evoked the latter sentiment. But this series does neither. 

Sinha weaves in several humorous scenarios into the narrative, but fails to keep it rolling. Situations such as Nikhil being compelled to marry a ghost or Sanki trying to get intimate with a ghost may have seemed funny on paper, but fall flat on screen. While the boys portray their parts with conviction, Bhasker’s performance is disappointing.  Don’t even get me started on her look after she is possessed by the ghost!

Sinha gets a few nuances right — be it the struggle of living out of your car or the joy of finally finding a four-bedroom bachelor pad. But one can’t overlook the problematic scenes that normalise spiking women’s drinks, hoping to get them in bed or preying on a woman in the garb of consoling her.

The background score by Dhruv Dhalla is pitch perfect. If you insist on watching this series, do it only for the Indian web’s original boys. Barring that, this is a desperate attempt to evoke chuckles and chills.
