Description : The film’s story flits between the present and past. A lot of new theories explained are very enthralling and gives the film a different touch. Sequences of the cross between the present and past are very intriguing. Thankfully, this time the ghost doesn’t look typical, but it doesn’t look scary either. It often reminds you of the ghosts shown in the show Aahat on Sony. The spooky background score used in Shaapit doesn’t create the desired effect. But the music in the film is generally pretty decent. Debutant Aditya Narayan still reminds you of the child artiste you’ve seen in films like Pardes, and the host of the television show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs on Zee TV. Somehow seeing him romance on the screen doesn’t look very alluring. However, the actor-cum-singer does a decent job during other scenes. Newcomer Shweta Agrawal doesn’t have much screen presence, as her role is very limited and the dialogues are even more limited. Rahul Dev does a very good job as the professor. On the whole, Shaapit manages to surpass and create a new level in the horror genre. Minus the clichéd dialogues and some over exaggerated scenes, the film is good enough.
