First of all sorry for my bad English.As a big horror fan, watched a lot of horror movies like insidious, saw, sinister, a woman in black, shutter (2004) i expect a lot from this movie after watching the promo and i can say that this movie doesn't work. Even Ragini MMS creates a better horror than this crap. if you hardy see a horror movie then you will like it.In this movie there are total 4 scenes in which you jumped out from your seat. I don't know why this movie make. without any plot, without any story and it is very predictable. It ends in a typical Indian style(action and over drama).A good and well written first half. Screenplay better than other movies of the Genre. Konkona Sen Sharma was the highlight of the first half.But she has done more brilliant works in her other movies and second half if just filled with nonsense things as in other horror movies like 1920.very bored don't go for it

The story of Bobo the illusionist dealing with bad hair days- some decades apart.....this being the really evil "bad" hair adorning the heads of the "daayans-witches" in his life. Hair that hangs well below the waist and sways like a coiled snake menacingly, containing in its waves all the horrific malignity of their bearer. The hair of women with back to front feet and opaque, glazed, black eyes. The "daayans" who sacrifice a child in the leap year so they survive. Who metamorphose into malevolent looking lizards when not in human form. Bobo-Emran Hashmi -is an illusionist with a dark daayan infested past. As a 10 year old he was a pesky curly mopped kid, with some skill at magic tricks and a weird interest in hell, shaitaan and jahannum. A younger sister dogging him and a slightly harassed, widowed father. Enter-Diana -an eerie Konkona Sen Sharma-as apparently an answer to the father's need for help. She progresses from being nanny to mummy, but fails to win over young Bobo who declares that she is a witch from hell and is there to harm them. For his pains, he is referred to a psychiatrist who advises counselling and patience. The young man however is right and Diana becomes Daayana on 29th Feb, it being a leap year and the sister and father die. Bobo manages to hack off her trailing tresses though and she dissolves in a scream, promising to return to get him as he is one of "them". 20 or so years later, our man is a famous illusionist, with a beautiful girlfriend-soon to be wife-Huma Qureshi and a child they are adopting-Zubin. The screams of a witch haunt him again and post a session of regressive hypno-therapy with the psychiatrist who treated him as a child, he recalls the events of his childhood. Shaken by this revelation, he is stirred into action when a new woman enters his life-first as a volunteer in his show and then as his wife's friend and the purchaser of his childhood flat. He suspects her of being the return of the daayan and behaves accordingly. However, there is a twist in the tale or rather in the pony tail..... Konkona is menacing as Daayana, Emran Hashmi is too restrained in fear, hate or love. Kalki and Huma are natural-though one of these is a not very terrifying daayan too.The psychiatrist is an un-necessary type-cast. Not gut wrenching terror. No bitten nails. No looking over our shoulders at women with long hair and suppressing an urge to hack it off. Just not scary enough. In fact, if the focus had been conveying pure evil through the histrionics alone, the film may have given a few more goose bumps. Fear becomes more real when it springs out of apparent normalcy. Damien in Omen and Vyjantimala in Madhumati come to mind. The "yaaram" song is catchy but the rest of it not so. The ghostly creaks and thuds could have done better too. All in all----a not very scary movie.

"..and the chivalrous prince dives down to the bed of the ocean to find the blue fish with a burning red eye.After battling with sharks he could reach to the infamous fish and split its belly with his rugged sword.Thus the deadly power of the monster stored in the fish's belly comes to an exhilarating end.."–As a child we often heard such folklore from our grandparents.With rich heritage of folklore & myths,I used to wonder why Hindi cinema don't explore those terrains while our foreign counterparts have given a whole new dimension to the werewolves and vampires straight out of the folklore of the west.Without broadening the horizon the bollywood film-makers played safe by doing monotonous horror films repeating similar structure(& often stories).Here comes a film that breaks the predefined norms.Based on a short story by literary laureate Mukul Sharma(Happens to be Konkona's father),talented Vishal Bhardwaj adapts that for a full length film.ETD is a folklore set in urban Indian city.The story is about a famous magician Bobo who is disturbed by his dark,unexplainable,transcendental childhood memories which haunts him often.At a tender age of 11 he read a book on devils & daayans(Witches) which explored the age-old believes on daayans such as the power lies trapped in their "choti"(long braided hair),they need to sacrifice a human child to regain their strength etc. Imbibing those believes the adventurous young mind comes to the conclusion that every building has its own hell & the by pressing "666"(code to hell) the lift will take you there.Nurturing such believes he & his sister meets their new governess Diana whom they presumed to be a witch and has come from the hell of their building.Gradually few uncanny incidences followed by the death of his sister and father further strengthens his believes. Even years after these incidents, images of the past haunts him as he lives in dilemma about the existence of such occult forces.Debutant director Kannan Iyer got ample support from producer Vishal Bhardwaj as was evident from the dark frames used,which are trademark of Vishal.The film opens with shadowy blue & black frames with Rekha Bhardwaj rendering her voice to the infesting, creepy "Lautungi Mein" which sets the mood of the film.Bhardwaj's screenplay is taut & we are straight away introduced to Bobo's problems in life.With Bobo being hypnotized back to his childhood the audience is in for some creepy ride.With sharp editing by veteran ShreekarPrasad & tilted camera angles by SaurabhGoswami (few long shot to substantiate the lonely creepy feel) did the trick.ClintonCerejo's background score set the atmosphere perfectly.Kudos to Iyer for the extra effort he invested in setting each & every props at Bobo's place and psychiatrist Dr RanjanPalit's chamber. It is one of the rare Hindi films that doesn't use any gimmicks to scare but resorts to characterization & atmosphere to bring out the spooky element which lingers long after the film gets over.The film keeps a realistic feel even within its surreal limitations.The dialogs add in to the proceedings with age-old myths seamlessly getting merged into urban existence. Bhardwaj-Gulzar combo again succeeds in bringing a winning track which complements the narrative."Lautungi Mein" reminds the yesteryears songs from Mahal,Gumnam & with semi-classical tone evokes a earthy horror feeling."Yaaram" is a brilliant composition & these proceedings following the song sequence accelerates the speed towards the somewhat bizarre climax.Till the climax I was mumbling to myself that ETD is indeed a classic but then cliché final confrontation reminded me of those run-of-the-mills Vikram Bhatt films which made me ponder what would have forced Kannan Iyer to cater to the gallery at the penultimate sequence.The good-versus-evil finale looked misfit in otherwise smart film.Also the big twist at the end could have been foreseen in the first half itself.Iyer had the opportunity to work with the finest talents in Bollywood & it paid-off successfully.The actresses in the film had made a striking impression especially Konkona(Diana).The role offered her was something which is diametrically opposite to what she had been doing till now & she did complete justice to it.The role will be long talked about in years to come.Huma Qureshi showed her potential with GOW, LSTCK and she continues to impress in this film too.With perfect blend of good looks & talents she will be the one to watch out for in near future.Kalki Koechlin is always dependent & there is no aberration here.Being introduced post-interval her character breaks the monotony of the narrative & brought in fresh angles to the quest to find the 'original' witch.It is heartening to see talented veteran actor Pawan Malhotra, in a meaty role of Emraan's geeky professor father.He exudes the right emotions making the character expressive.Rajatava Datta(a fine actor & a big name in Bengali cinema)excels as Dr Palit,the psychiatrist,who is suppose to act most rational,seems confused about his believes in myths of witches & is as eager to learn the truth.Visshesh Tiwari is marvelous as young Bobo.His histrionics were flawless-an excellent actor in the making.The child actress who played bebo's sister had the charm and innocence to hook the audience to the screen. .And the leading man Emraan Hashmi who has been criticized by critics for his choice of roles till he bounced back with "Dirty Picture",'Shanghai","Ek th daayan" (& now upcoming "Ghanchakkar").In each of the films he explored varied characters & wooed us with his acting abilities.As psychologically disturbed Bobo with a haunting puzzling past Emraan grasped the nuances of the character & delivered a top-notch performance.ETD is a great attempt in Hindi celluloid albeit a mediocre climax.The entire team should be applauded for the effort to concatenate ancient myths with modern existence & deliver a hardcore entertaining creepy horror film.Good to see concepts like folklore,zombies are explored thus giving us break from the bland taste of formula based Hindi movies.P.S:For all horror lovers do watch the 2012 Tamil film "Pizza" which is a landmark in this genre for its execution & novelty.
