Cast: Sohail Khan, Natassha, Ishaa Koppikar
Director: Santram Verma

Every time a film hits bull’s-eye, it spawns a series of ratty rip-offs. Krishna Cottage is most certainly inspired by the zinger Bhoot. The result: It lumbers from set piece to set piece in an uninspired fashion, which also reminds you one more time that Ram Gopal Varma is truly light years ahead of the copycats and his contemporaries.

The story begins with the book release function of an author with frizzy hair. Just when Mr Author begins to discuss his book of unfinished love stories, the screen turns green and crackles with strange sounds. After that tangled beginning, we cut to the life and times of Manav (Sohail Khan) and Shanti (Natassha) who are about to be engaged while still in college. So you get the usual round of songs, sophomore repartee and hormonally surcharged adolescents.

Disha (Ishaa Koppikar) steps in here and nothing’s the same ever again. Inexplicable occurrences take place, one by one the kids get hacked to death. Bats, screaming banshees, creaking doors, bloodshed and a murderous hacker add to the general mayhem.

Ultimately, it all boils down to a reincarnation saga where a wandering spirit wants to avenge the death of her lover. She’s fascinated with Manav who bears a close resemblance to her deceased boyfriend Amar Khanna. The unintentionally funny twist in the plot is the inclusion of a psychic healer/mystic Sunita Menon (Rati Agnihotri) who comes in to save the kiddos from the evil spirit. This wanton deification of real-life people is a bad move. Reference points? Plenty. Every yarn from the Evil Dead to The Haunted Mansion wends it way into the goings-on. For all the plot holes littering the film, the screenwriters don’t even give the audience a true explanation for all the trouble that the lead actors go through. And when the murders are committed and the body count piles up, no one seems to really care. Of all its numerous flaws, the worst is that Krishna Cottage contains nary a moment of genuine terror or even eeriness. In comparison, the plots written by the Ramsay Brothers seem like Stephen King's.

None of the performances are worth a mention. Humourless and utterly predictable, this Scarface film can’t say boo to a goose.
