DANGEROUS KILLER | 10 August, 2019

Star Dreamzz Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.’s Dangerous Killer (UA) is a crime thriller.

Aman, Komal, Kavya, Sunny, Rhea, Nishant and Darsheel go to a resort which Aman’s father is desirous of purchasing. On the way to the resort, the seven friends see a mysterious lady in a white saree, roaming in the jungle. A tantrik warns them that a ghost roams in the area and she thirsts for human blood.

The friends reach the resort and are welcomed by maid Sheela. They enjoy themselves at the resort but sometimes see the lady in the white saree. They go to the jungle where they are attacked by someone. The friends soon return to the resort. Then, one by one, murders start taking place. Sunny, Rhea, Sheela and caretaker Guruji are murdered one after another. The tantrik is also murdered. The police finally solves the mystery. Who is the murderer? What’s the killer’s motive in killing so many people?

The story of the murder mystery is routine and oft-repeated with not even a hint of novelty. Kayyam Kazi’s screenplay is so clichéd that it fails to involve the audience. Even his dialogues are dull.

Performances are sub-standard. Prathamesh Ghosalkar, Tejal Choudhari, Yash Kadam, Mayuresh Madhavi, Nikita Mene, Ayesh Pathak, Mayur Bhatkar, Krushna Mannurkar, Sonia Choudhary, Ashish Shirke, Rohan Limosh, Kavita, David Santan and Kirti Rawal have delivered absolutely routine performances.

Bahruz’s direction is weak. Laxminarayan’s music is routine. Song picturisations (by Ram Devan) are functional. Jahangir Sayed’s camerawork is not upto the mark. David Soares’ art direction is dull. Editing (Sandeep Mishra) leaves a lot to be desired.

On the whole, Dangerous Killer is a poor fare.

Released on 9-8-’19 at Imperial (daily 4 shows) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Shri Navshakti Enterprises. Publicity & opening: dull. …….Also released in xxxx.
