How is the acting of the star cast?
The lead actor of the film, Abhay Verma, has done a good job. He has played his role with innocence throughout the film. His facial expressions are amazing. Sharvari has also done a good job. Mona Singh's role as Bittu's mother is quite impressive. Her comic timing will make you laugh at times. It is also important to mention the child who has played the role of Munjya.

How is the direction?
This film has been directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. He has succeeded in keeping the audience engaged till the end. Some scenes will scare you a lot. The visual effects, sound effects and cinematography of the film are praiseworthy.

However, the director seems a bit confused in telling what the actual genre of this film is. At some places the film scares, and at other places it makes you laugh. The seriousness with which the film starts does not make it seem that comedy will be seen in the future.

How is the music?
The music of this film can also be counted among the positive points. You may like a song made on a party theme. You may not remember the lyrics of the song but the tune can definitely resonate in your mind.

Final verdict of the film, watch it or not?
Although this film is based on a horror-supernatural theme, children may like it. If you want to watch something different these days, then you can go for this film. There is also a strong dose of comedy in the film, so if you go to watch it thinking it to be a traditional horror film, then you will be disappointed.
