Three friends who meet at a college reunion accept a bet by their old classmate to get proof of the existence of ghosts.
As in comedy, timing is crucial for horror films as well but in Aaah all we get are mistimed reaction shots and indifferent dialogue delivery that take away the thrills in a scene. Sure, the setup is interesting � three friends meet at their reunion and one of their classmates challenges that he will give away half his fortune (worth Rs 60 crore) if the trio gets him proof of the existence of ghosts. So, the three begin a hunt for instances of ghost attacks that takes them on a globetrotting spree. (more)

The sound of frustration
There�s one point that the makers of Aaaah seem to have fatally overlooked. True fear is induced by the unknown, the incomprehensible� the groping in the dark. Real dread is caused by the seeming inexplicability of strange happenings, and lies squarely in the sense of foreboding that is so inherent to successful horror films such as Rosemary�s Baby, The Others and even the recent The Conjuring; all these films take their time to develop characters with great care before finally revealing the malevolent presence.(more)
