Aga-damn!

Gimmicky movie, but I watched it!

Three guys bury a corpse, but then are haunted by her ghost... and that's about all I know. This is a Tamil movie, redubbed in Hindi, and.. I have no idea what they are saying (and the auto-generated English subtitles were rubbish). But this is a good chance to see how much I can follow just from the acting. As far as I can tell, there was some dodgy business about selling (health?) drinks that were possibly poisonous, and from that the woman died, so they buried her. But then, eventually...

The big gimmick of this movie is that is all one take, over two hours. This does mean it is very slow, with plenty of scenes of not much happening as other actors move into position (especially the ghost woman, who shows up with a scream). And apparently they buried her just across the road or in their backyard or something, as they get into their house straight away, which is fortunately plenty big enough for people to go places.

Acting-wise, I'm not sure who is who, so I'll just say that the guy in the police shirt overacted a lot, the guy with the mustache was suitably intense, and the others were also there. As for the effects... at best, someone is rocking something from off screen, but otherwise, at best it's up to an actor to lie as still as possible.
