Thank God I saved my money!
Sorry Aditi and Somz, I made you write it all out... it must have reminded you of the pains of wasting your money :(

But, I'll wait for a good print to see the first half for all the praises its been getting! Seems to be worth it!

I watched it online. I wouldn't waste my money on that shiz. I only go to theatres when a SRK movie is playing because everyone in my family is a huge phanka of him (my dad is actually already waiting for CE). 😆

The first half was good and Konkona scared the shit outta me. After the interval it was all snoozefest.

The print I watched wasn't too bad.

And nope.. once the choti is cut, the Daayan evaporates or some shiz, and it takes them years to regenerate. Huma's character said it took her 20 years to regenerate.

I loved the movie though the ending was a bit disappointed. Konkona and Emraan were fabulous in the movie and a special mention for the kid who played child Bobo. Huma was good and Kalki hardly had any role.
Seriously Konkona should do some more horror/thriller movies.

the second half was like zee horror show.. soo stupid.. My God..

and also Huma at the end says we have to sacrifice someone we love the most then only they get ultimate power so she was sacrificing Zubin.. how Konkona got power by sacrificing poor Misha.. she never love Misha 🤢

Ek Thi Daayan Struggles Over Weekend

Saturday 22nd April 2013 22.30 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

Ek Thi Daayan struggled over the weekend as the film showed no growth on Saturday or Sunday. the collections on Saturday were lower than Friday while Sunday showed limited growth as against Saturday.

The first weekend was around 15.50 crore nett with biggest contributions coming from Mumbai and Delhi/UP grossing 5.25 crore nett and 3.25 crore nett respectively. East Punjab grossed 1.25 crore nett with all other circuits giving contribution less than 1 crore.

Looking at the trend over the weekend the film will find it tough over the weekdays as there is not much appreciation for the film. The film has not fared well in areas where normally Emraan Hashmi films out perform like CP Berar and Nizam.

I watched it last night in an almost full house. The film has a number of nicely crafted scenes...imanginative and original (in comparison to the average horror film in India), and the performances are praiseworthy. But the storyline in which they are weaved is really flimsy, and the climax, which is supposed to be the crux, is incredibly silly. It seems so incongruent to the rest of the film, that I feel inclined to go with the view that the climax was reshot keeping in mind certain perceived commercial considerations.

The film could have been outstanding, if the audiences were left mystified regarding the supernatural...and not sledgehammered with an overdose of it, in the end. The film worked best as a psychological thriller, with a hint of a paranormal agency, about which the audience, like the little kid Bobo, is never quite sure. Unfortunately, that delicious ambiguity is completely wiped out eventually.

I believe that there was a track cetred on Zubin, which was eliminated. Remember the scene in the beginning, when Bobo, Tamra and Zubin are in the car, and Zubin says that he saw a doll floating in the air! Tamra snaps at him for making up stories. Then, a scene was shown in Rajeev Masand's show, which was not there in the movie. In it, Zubin was sitting inside a bath-tub, talking in a hushed tone to a large doll, and Bobo walks in. I wish they had kept it in the movie.
