taking its structure from the muchtalked about paranormal activity but adding a spirit of its own ragini mms is amongst those contemporary horror films which dont delve much into the past of the ghost yet trying to present some chilling momentsa young couple uday rajkumar yadav and ragini kainaz motivala visit a friends farmhouse which happens to be haunted this oneline idea more or less summarizes the entire story of the film the entire runtime of the film happens to be video footage either shot on handheld camcorder or through hidden cameras while the haunted house setting and the concept of a couple filming themselves on camcorder are derivates of paranormal activity the film seems to seek more inspiration from the indian counterpart love sex aur dhoka coming from the same banner its basically an extension to the second story from the episodic lsd where the boy played by same actor rajkumar yadav plans to film an explicit video of his sexual escapade with the girl that brings mms in the title and theme though it adds no new dimension to the story while the film uses every horror element from soundnlighting effects to impulsive background score the outcome is not outright clichd or tacky the mere stillandsilent sight of the rooms of the haunted house could make a chill run down your spine the first time that the spirit makes its presence felt is electrifying after which it arrives with such a jolt that the narrative needs to waste no time on the conventional conflict of the protagonists disbelief in the supernatural the initial reels comprise of liberal dose of intimacy between the couple which despite having mean mms motives is not downright crass however as a viewer the focus is more on tracing the trail of the ghost in any scene than on the sexual stint of the couple with zilch heroism attached to the timorous male protagonist he never for a moment attempts to fight the phantom like any traditional hero would that makes the ghost story more believable rajkumar yadav is exceptionally good in the scenes when he is terrorized by the spirit also the confined and inescapable situation handcuffed which the female protagonist lands herself into makes her more vulnerable to the evil appreciatively kainaz motivala isnt amongst the league of actresses merely exploited for skinshow she gets scope to perform in the concluding reels and adds credibility to her character apart from the requisite sensuality expected from her unlike most conventional horror flicks the effort is never to put an end to the evil force but to simply escape from it moreover with almost the entire film happening in real time one can actually relate to the fear of the characters unlike in paranormal activity where one actually experienced the fear through the movements of a single handheld camera ragini mms for its major runtime uses a static and multiple camera setup like in a bigg boss house while the multiple cameras reduce
