Rating: 3.5/5

Natasha (Kangana) is a top shot model. She is in a volatile relationship with Yash (Adhyayan) who is a popular journalist. Yash doesn’t believe in concepts of ghosts, spirits, after life and is a complete atheist.

Suddenly people in the small city of Kalandi begin to die unnatural deaths. All of them are somehow connected but what is the one deadly fact common to all is hidden. And what do all of them have in common with Natasha is the big mystery.

On the other hand we have artist Prithvi (Emraan Hashmi). Prithvi has these visions that tell him what is about to happen in Natasha’s life which he translates into paintings. But unable to convince her that her life is very much in trouble, Prithvi witnesses Natasha being attacked by spirits and ghosts. His paintings allow him to preempt what will happen in her life next but the final straw is when he finally paints her against a backdrop of ‘Tum Asudh Ho. Sadh Chuki Ho.’ These are the very same words that the people who died in Kalandi had in the background.

Convinced that her death is close as well, Natasha and Prithvi set out to find out who and what is after Natasha. And that’s where the mystery of the city unravels.

In terms of acting all three Emraan, Kangana and Adhyayan have done brilliant jobs. In fact Adhyayan is quite a surprise package. A lot of his detractors will now have to stop and take notice of the young lad. Definitely watch out for the twist in the end – you will definitely not expect it!

Kangana gives a brilliant performance once more. She holds fort and not once in the film do you feel that she has gone over the top. Emraan Hashmi is silent but effective. He has definitely come of age. And now we would like him to venture outside of the Bhatt camp and show his jalwa!

Huge credit must go to Mohit Suri for a tightly held script and its brilliant execution. Till well after the interval you have no idea about what will hit you next. But never do you feel lost or disinterested. Some of the scenes that really stand out are Kangana in the alley way when she is suspended in air as well as the scene in the bathroom.

The climax holds your attention and ensures that when the film ends you breathe a huge sigh – and that’s when you realize that you’ve been holding your breath all along!

All in all RTMC is a well made film. It will help turn the tide of Bollywood which has been going through a lean phase since the start of the year. But just one piece of advice – it isn’t for the faint hearted! Mohit promises to scare you and he keeps his promise!
