Ragini MMS was not such a bad film at least you were not tempted to make a dash for the exit door. But with Ragini MMS 2 within minutes of the film starting, you want to escape like a bat out of hell. There is no story to speak of in it and neither can Sunny Leone’s anatomy nor her gyrations and heaving can save this unmitigated disaster.

The film has been termed as a horrex, a combination of horror and sex. There was no evidence of the former and the latter was cringe worthy at best. But I guess the film makers know that there are there are enough babydoll fans to ensure that the producers laugh their way to the bank.

Sunny Leone plays Sunny Leone in this film, a pornstar who is acting in a film which is based on Ragini MMS and Pravin Dabbas dons the role of one of those over the top directors. As it happened in Blair Witch Project 2, they decide to make a film on the same location where the original incident of Ragini had occurred. She also wants to get into her character which prompts the director to say “tum porno se Rituporno kyun ban rahi ho” or something to that effect.

Most of the crew lives in the haunted house and creaking sounds are heard at night which is a good occasion for Ms.Leone to investigate the matter, more importantly, in skimpy night wear.

There is an element of ‘comedy’ introduced and there is also some ‘romance’ involved with a writer who he looks as pale as someone who has just seen a ghost.  The finale attempts to rouse some scary moments but it is too little too late. Divya Dutta plays a ‘U.S returned psychiatrist’ but all the tantra mantra mumbo jumbo in the end is just rubbish.

To be fair to Sunny Leone, she carried her role well, there were worse actors than her in this film itself. On the whole, I’d rather be subjected to ghosts in real life (if at all they exist) than endure this Ragini experience.
