Movie Reviews
With its scary sound effects, atmospheric terror, and vintage spooky home location, the film is a quintessential example of the Ramsay Brothers’ distinctive approach. The movie skillfully builds suspense with eerie background music, gloomy lighting, and surprising jump scares.
Although Sachin Pilgaonkar does a good job as the film’s inquisitive protagonist, the narrative mostly relies on the horror cliches of the time. Although some of the scenes might seem familiar to viewers today, Aur Kaun? was an intense horror film in its day.
