Ramsays are one of the pioneers of horror movie making. Their movies always kept the audience on the edge of the seat. But this time they failed to understand the pulse of the audience. Grown up watching the Hollywood horror flicks The New Gen moviegoers are not the ones who get frightened fast.
Aatma tells the story of a doctor, Aman [Kapil Jhaveri] and his wife Neha [Neha]. Aman has to perform postmortem of a man who has been killed by his treacherous brother and his accomplices. The night before the postmortem the athma of the dead man visits Aman and asks him to do his duty sincerely. But the murderers of the man force Aman to write a false report. Deceived by Aman the ghost decides to punish him. It enters the body of his wife Neha. How things are resolved is the climax of the story.
Neha, the innocent Kareeb girl makes her comeback with this movie. To be frank this may prove to be a wrong film for her to make a come back with. Kapil Jhavari is ok as the doctor. The likes of Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Mukesh Tiwari and Deep Dhillon are wasted in this movie.
The music is also below average. There is not even one song that stays with once you are out of the theatre.
The story is stale. With the old techniques the movie could not succeed in scaring the audience up. Aatma is an old wine in a new bottle. It lacks freshness. Director Deepak Ramsay couldn’t help much with this kind of outdated plot.
In short Aatma is a let down by the makers of Darwaza and Guest House.
