Making a good horror movie is a tough job. Modern day digitally connected, and increasingly rational audience is notoriously demanding fresh takes at traditional horror concepts. This is also leading to fusion of genres. Ragini MMS2 is one such genre mix- horror and sex.
I know Balaji Telefilms has taken it upon them to be "bold" but a movie such as this starring a porn star in and as a porn star is questionable. The original Ragini MMS had some amount of originality- a couple unknowingly going to a haunted house to shoot a MMS and becoming the target of an evil spirit.
In a recent interview, Sunny is quoted to have said that directors approach her with scripts just to find a reason to meet her. Parvin Dabas plays one such sleazy director, who comes up with this brilliant idea of shooting a movie based on the plot of the first movie, at the same spooky house. He also wants real actors, not big stars and strangely so, he selects the one actor who has made a career out of faking it, as the lead. Rest of the plot is a lift from the recently released The Conjuring- creaky house, an angry poltergeist, possession, levitating chairs, missing children, human sacrifice, a tree hanging, the spirit embodied in an object from the past- all is been there done that category.
It is a known fact that clothes and Sunny do not like each other. So much to the satisfaction of front row whistle blowers, all throughout the movie, she features in various stages of undress. At one point, Sunny says that she wants to research for her role. To which the director pulls out an epic quote- "Porno se Rituporno kab ban gayi". In many ways, this statement sums up Sunny's real life quest for respect in the acting world. But can the audience ever stop objectifying her? Surely, not when she is thrusting out her assets at the slightest instance, and indulging in sex in the lake, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and in the rain.
And surprisingly though, she acts pretty well, especially considering how insipidly written the other characters are. Director Bhushan Patel ensures that decent actors like Sandhya Mridul, Dabas, and Divya Dutta come out unintentionally funny. Divya Dutta is an incredible character in herself- she is a psychiatrist who moonlights as an exorcist! The crazy cinematography has ghosts appearing in almost every alternate frame, but with no sense of drama and hence leaves little impact. Even her porn movies have seen better direction. So ultimately you only get to do the guy thing and admire Leone's body.
So there it is- baby doll and bottles of vodkas notwithstanding, Ragini MM2 is generic horror, devoid of logic and scares, it is little more than an uninhibited skin show. But maybe that's something deep down in our hearts we actually wanted- 4/10

The film is a sequel to the 2010 horror movie Ragini MMS.The horror scenes are very similar to the recent Hollywood horror movie.First half of the movie is good with horror and other stuff but when it comes to second half the story loses track and quite frustrating. The director had concentrated more on horror scenes rather than the story.Pros of the movie are few scenes like in which Sunny manages to show a spark of brilliance in a scene where she parodies herself and fakes an orgasm, few horror scenes are good.Cons of the movie are music, sound effect are uncomfortable.By infusing it in almost every scene to add to the horror value. This works on a basic level but as it progressed towards the climax, the movie begins to jar on the ears.The makeup work is atrocious.The acting of the cast is just average. It is better to avoid this movie.

A very amateurishly made 'horrex'(a heady cocktail of horror and sex) movie,marred by a hollow script,footloose screenplay and uninspiring performances. Balaji Telefilms takes this franchise a step forward and director Bhusan Patel invests all his efforts in the sleaze content,making it look like a B-grade erotica with Sunny Leone playing herself! A film unit led by a over-complacent director (Parvin Dabbas) with a bunch of TV stars and a weirdly disinterested scriptwriter go the same haunted building where the actual horrific incident had taken place in the prequel.Quite expectedly, menacing things begin to happen when the vengeful spirit kills the crew members one by one.
Barring a few chills, this spooky fest has nothing more to offer.Even the back-story falls flat.Sunny Leone does a good job where she has to display sensuousness. Sandhya Mridul adds a comic dimension to her character and perhaps the only saving grace amidst the non-actors.Divya Dutta is wasted.
I would Rather recommend you to watch the prequel if you want to indulge in an horror affair.

I voted just two stars, just for Sunny Leone who happens to be the best thing about this movie. This is a horrex movie about shooting a horrex movie. Actually it is not a movie at all. It is just selling Sunny Leone in Indian market.
You can look at the main actors of the movie and can say right about then that they have never acted in their life before apart from Divya Dutta( I don't know why she chose to do this movie).
As many of us already know, Bollywood just copies Hollywood movies(almost all) scene-to-scene, and take credit for it and does award functions and share awards with each other( for best direction, scriptwriter and cinematographer etc. Can you believe this audacity?) and make real good money by doing it. You can just imagine about this mentality. And, even after that they somehow screw the movie. They can't even copy a Hollywood movie properly.
So, basically you know this "movie" will suck and if you choose to pay and watch it you are surely going in for Sunny Leone.(Yes, why watch her naked for free when you can pay to watch her in clothes? Right?)
I just took some time out to slam this movie because I love cinema and hate rich people who want to screw it. I really want Hindi cinema to improve and so I am helping in my own small way by writing this review on IMDb to discourage such waste of money and the initiative of many directors in Hindi cinema who want the audience to look someplace else for real entertainment.
Thank you.

A new horror movie having 30-40% occupancy in its first early morning show once again strengthened my strong belief that Indian filmgoers are always ready for a good spooky movie without any doubt. However on the other side, the sad fact remains that 8 out of 10 times, they mostly feel like fools walking out of the theater after watching these badly made films in the name of horror, trying to earn some quick bucks through a cunningly planned promotional campaign.
Following the same intentions, here is RAGINI MMS 2 ready to make a fool out of the viewers once again, with the western porn star Sunny Leone promising you the glimpses of something which you must have already seen in its complete form earlier. And when a clever production house signs a famous, gorgeous girl who has no hesitation to bare it all in front of the camera for a Hindi horror film then there is no better recipe to make such a project, especially for our 'sex-starved' Indian market and that too with two hit party tracks working as a perfect icing on the cake ensuring its safe run.
Hence telling you the truth, RAGINI MMS 2 is not any so called horror film or a sequel at all. Instead it's just a specially written and designed project (with no script as such), simply aiming at giving all its male audience a kind of 'mental sexual pleasure' in that dark ambiance of the theater & nothing else. En-cashing the buzz around their earlier hit RAGINI MMS (2011), the famous production house vaguely takes the story forward and then conceives the whole project just like 'a soft-porn' made in the name of horror.
The so called sequel revolves around a movie shoot happening in the same haunted house of its first part. But in reality its every single scene has been written to use or exploit the 'all willing star', Sunny Leone in the best possible manner on the screen. To give you a fair idea of its story progression, after a good scary sequence right in the opening, we have the 'Babydoll' song and then the director straight away shows Sunny undressing in her green room, being watched by the (in-film) director openly. Next she does a detailed moaning scene as if involved in a sex act in front of the whole unit to prove her acting skills followed by a long, bold bathroom sequence where even blurring effect has been used to hide her visible assets. A lesbian act involving Sandhya Mridul is thrown in without any purpose post the interval and then Sunny takes off all her clothes deep inside a lake seducing a lusty man to jump inside. After all these deliberately inserted suggestive scenes the director returns back to his basic theme of horror in the last 15 minutes, exactly like a clean-up activity required post the dirty act. And that is all what the film has got to offer in its 2 hours of duration.
Along with the sexual content, RMMS2 also features few cheap double meaning dialogues keeping everything focusing at the sex element alone. Plus we have some foreign film references too as usual, like the two little girls reminding you of A TALE OF TWO SISTERS (2003) right away. In the performances, Sunny Leone perfectly knows why she is being signed by these Bollywood producers eagerly and she daringly delivers what is expected from her too with a visible ease. The girl has an expressive body language and speaking eyes but her well known background doesn't let you think of her as an actor even for a minute to put it honestly. Still it seems she is really trying hard to learn the basics of this art-form fast and may achieve what she wishes to in the near future.
The supporting cast has many over the top acts, repeatedly giving you an indication of the project being nothing but a quickly made, sexy marketing product to gain some quick profits. And it is really weird to see actors like Parveen Dabbas, Sandhya Mridul& Karan Mehra playing it so loud, forcefully in their respective roles. On the other hand, Saahil Prem at least plays it decently as required, Divya Dutta remains wasted in her short role as the ultimate savior but watching Anita Hasanandani in such a silly role was nothing short of a shock as I strongly felt. In fact this simply tells you a truth, that how a powerful production house can make or break the career of aspiring actors so cruelly as per their own wish.
For friends who wish to know about the horror element in the film, it just has the scary faces popping out from here and there, with some screechy sounds as usual and nothing beyond that. The camera remains more interested in capturing Sunny's inviting curves throughout and does a pretty routine job in canning the creepy scenes, probably as instructed by the producer and not the director. So its only the two hit songs 'Baby Doll' & 'Chaar Botal Vodka' (used in the end credits), which give you some relief moments in this otherwise sick, sex product coming from a reputed production house, disguised as a horror film.
To sum up, looking at this film presented as a HORREX venture, I feel relieved that we have CENSOR BOARD here to stop these people to go over the board following their greedy intentions. Otherwise with a lead like Sunny Leone available to show it all, these production houses are capable of making any kind of sleazy product in the name of Cinema as it seems in order to make their quick money.

The camera-footage films was popularized by Hollywood film Paranormal Activity which was later utilized in Ragini MMS, touted to be the India's first film to do it. Ragini MMS 2 kicks off from where the first part ends but is saddened by over-the-top performance and lame script.
After brutal incident at a farm house which killed Uday and left Ragini in unstable condition, a director is inspired to shoot the film at the same farm house based on unfortunate events.
The trailer of Ragini MMS 2 was catchy and interesting but when you will watch the film, you will be flabbergasted to watch half-porn sleazy skin show with no spooky moments enough to scare the hell out of you. In fact, the movie will remind you early 80's Ramsay' classics like Purana Mandir and Veerna which had C-grade actors , blazing lights, big-old broken house. Screenplay is weak with no sense of storyline. Cinematography is bad. Art direction is worse. Editing is loose. Sunny Leone gets ample scope to show her well-curved figure but that is it. She is still has long way to go in terms of acting. Other actors are pathetic including talent like Divya Dutta. Songs are the only silver- lining in this boring flick with "Baby-Doll" and " Chaar Bottle Vodka" being pick of the lot.
Overall, The original Ragini MMS was fun to watch with enough scary moments and fabulous acting. The sequel is a disappointing follow-up. Forget it .Poor 1/5

watched RAGINI MMS 2 ...as we all know its prequel was "inspired" by the film PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (BUT that was still worth a few scares)...this one too carries-on the legacy of its preceder + it also takes it to the another level..MEANS this time its "makers" got so shameless that they ripped off the material from another films AS F**KING IT IS
Here's a list of what they stole...THE SHINING(two girls concept), THE CONJURING(main theme+chair exorcism+toy concept), THE GRUDGE(make- up+placement of "horrors"), THE RING(again make-up/hair), THE POSSESSION(fingers in the throat)..AND many more thing that I might have missed...STILL the quality of their plot was lower than bull's sh!t
NOW should I also tell how poor the "direction" was? How the whole cast collectively performed bad?(THO Sunny Leone has improved a bit since JISM 2..still acting remains a far cry for her)..How tacky the film's editing, script n set was(its filled with useless scenes)..Hell they even tried do comedy here!(LEAST pretend you're serious for the genre)..& How the cinematographer's main focus remains on the Sunny's cleavage for least 30 minutes in this 2 hour long film(personally I/guys don't mind that BUT if we wanted to see that..we'd have gone to the internet ..offering much more)
THE POINT of my bullsh!t mentioned above is that
_DO NOT WATCH_this carp

A sequel to the well-made Ragini MMS, 'Ragini MMS 2' is a Fun watch! An Erotic-Horror flick, along-with some intentional & unintentional humor, makes up for a good time-pass fare!
'Ragini MMS 2' starts off from where Ragini MMS ended which revolved around a young couple Ragini & Uday who went to an isolated house for a dirty weekend and the creepy and paranormal happenings that took place to them there. Uday had planned to make an MMS scandal of Ragini in that house. But the MMS shot goes viral, Uday goes missing and Ragini after that incident became crazy & ended up in a mental hospital. The Ragini MMS scandal catches the attention of a filmmaker who plans to make a film on it. He casts a Bollywood actress in his film to play the lead, Ragini. The film crew goes to shoot the film in the same house where the MMS scandal took place, leading to further horrible & creepy happenings.
'Ragini MMS 2' focuses more on sex, than horror, at least in the first-hour. The protagonist, played by Sunny Leone, shows off quite possibly everything in here, which, definitely, will work big time with the masses. The horror element, however, strikes in more prominently in its second-hour, where some spine-chilling moments are presented, along-with a noisy climax.
'Ragini MMS 2' shouldn't be taken seriously. In fact, this film belongs to 'The Evil Dead' category of film, where the focus is not only on horror, but also on sleaze & surprisingly, even comedy. The Screenplay works, but its more erotic than terrifying. Bhushan Patel's Direction is atmospheric. Cinematography is average. Editing is fine. Art Design & Make-Up, are superb. Songs are peppy.
Performance-Wise: Sunny Leone looks sexy, flaunts her body without any inhibitions whatsoever & participates freely in sex scenes. As far as her performance is concerned, she is strictly okay. Saahil Prem seems to have taken this film a bit too seriously. Sandhya Mridul is entertaining. Parvin Dabas is gloriously over-the-top. Karan Mehra is fair. Divya Dutta is efficient. Kainaz Motivala is sincere in a cameo.
On the whole, 'Ragini MMS 2' isn't great, but its entertaining till it lasts.

Sunny Leone just cannot act. Yes, she's got the hots and has quit her previous, much-hyped job, but role-playing is just not her cup of tea and I can give you two big examples: Jackpot & Ragini MMS 2.
Starting off with that seductive song, the film talks about a film crew who attempt to make a film on the prequel Ragini MMS. Things go bad when characters fool around with the haunted location they chose to shoot. Borrowing certain elements from yesteryear Hollywood flicks, it shows how Sunny is possessed and then predictability kicks in. I don't know whatever happened to Parvis Dabbas, but involving certain faces that are synonymous to wooden expressions just is the best spoiling factor of the film.
Not to talk about how poor the dialogs are, I seriously doubt Bhushan Patels' abilities as a director. Poor show by the art department, who play the most demanding work in horror films. But, thanks to the humor and immensely amateur horror shots, Ragini MMS 2 will give you few chuckles instead of those thrills & gasps. One thing I liked is the guy who is TV actor on reel; he was funny.
What annoyed me most is that when characters themselves term Sunny Leone as a porn-star and Sunny herself refuting that she is not a "wh*re", what would you expect the audience to interpret & expect. Plus, the addition of heavily explicit scenes makes it not only a bad film for children, but also for general people. And the disclaimer at the beginning of the film will make you laugh.
BOTTOM LINE: Ragini MMS was far better than this piece of pretentious overplay. Horror lovers should stay away for it is possible they may even loathe the genre for the rest of their lives after watching this.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

In the late 70's Italian filmmakers like Lucio Fulci and Dardano Sachetti introduced a new genre in motion picture history-HORREX. A combination of horror and erotica obviously targeted at an adult audience. This genre caught up in a big way and you had a new wave of movies flooding the movie market.
In 2014, Ekta Kapoor and Bhushan Patel introduce this genre to the Indian audience in a big way in the form of RAGINI MMS 2 featuring Sunny Leone. They succeed in presenting Erotica in its truest form without resorting to obscenity, which itself is a tight rope walk when you have Sunny Leone in the movie and the movie going audience is already prejudiced about what the movie has to offer.
The introduction scene of Sunny Leone in this movie leaves very little to imagination and the ball sets rolling in to what is yet to come. The movie picks right from the the moment the first movie ends,Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) is in a lunatic asylum still haunted by the witch and is being treated by a psychiatrist Dr. Meera (Divya Dutta).
Rocks (Parvin Dabbas) announces a movie on the Ragini MMS scandal to be shot on actual location. He cast Sunny (Sunny Leone) a porn star in the lead role. The entire unit moves to the location and is stalked by the witch and killed in a gruesome fashion.
You have ample scary moments, the movie scares you and you also hear an occasional nervous giggle from the audience. There is a particular scary scene when Monali (Sandhya Mridul) is hanged upside down for a scene and she encounters two ghosts playing peek-a-boo with her and a scene which starts with a promise of a threesome (Sunny Leone, Parvin Dabbas and Sandhya Mridul) but ends in a gruesome death scene of one of the characters.
The movies takes erotica to new height and the makers are unapologetic about and why should they be, they delivered what they promised. Erotica is an art in itself and you require a competent filmmaker to be able to distinguish it from obscenity.
The following scenes will actually shock puritans, but they do work when it is eroticism you are looking at: 1. The baby doll song (much of it was censored on TV) 2. The shower scene between Sunny Leone and Karan Mehra 3. The kissing scene between Sandhya Mridul and Sunny Leone 4. Two Masturbation scenes (which go all the way) 5. Sunny's fake orgasm scene 6. Ample use of the F****K word without beeps (and no it was not used as a swear)
The movie does have shock galore as noted in the scenes below 1. The two kiddie ghosts playing peek-a-boo 2. The fingers from inside Sunny's throat (literally) 3. Anita Hassanandini's death sequence 4. The final exorcism scene
Sunny Leone struggles to act, but comes up with a beautiful performances in two of the best sequences In the movie:
1. The fake orgasm scene which she does to prove that even porn actors HAVE to act. This is on par with Meg Ryan's orgasm act in HARRY MET SALLY.
2. The exorcism scene where she uses the F word and mocks Divya Dutta and Saahil Prem.
The best performance in the movie however is by Sandhya Mridul as Monali, a drama queen, who is ready "for any thing" for a one scene role. Her drama queen performance evokes most of the hilarious moments in the movie. End of the movie, you just love to hate her. Anita Hassanandini is barely recognizable with tattoos and piercing but is her best with reaction scenes both in the orgasm sequence and the lesbian kiss. Her awe expression is superbly done.
Parvin Dabbas is fantastic as the lecherous director and his best in the movie was the press conference sequences.
Karan Mehra will probably be remembered for his fantastic performance in the Masturbation sequence and the aftermath of the shower scene.
Divya Dutta underplays her character, but comes up with in a winning performance in the climax during the showdown between her and Sunny. OK, the movie is not without its limitations, the witch's back story defies logic, but yes then again it is illogical to look for logic in horror features. But after the back story it is like "baath kuch nahin jammi yaroon" which haunts you at the back of your mind. The movie celebrates sex unabashedly but at least the film makers were not as hypocritic as Raj Kapoor who did the same thing in RAM TERI GANGA MAILI and attributed it to æsthetics.
The screenplay does not wander like other horror flicks, but gets straight to the point, the entire sequences right from the beginning to the end are phased evenly without any brain taxing. Yes it does lag during the flashback sequences but soon finds it way back.
Direction by Bhusan Patel, is noteworthy. He has succeeded where Pooja Bhatt failed-getting Sunny to act. It does prove the fact that when an actor fails to emote, it is the director who is to be blamed and not the actress. Getting Sunny to emote in the climax sequences is one of the biggest achievements of Mr. Patel. Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, should be given a pat on the back for backing a movie like this and taking Indian cinema to a new height—wish they concentrated on the plot though-which minus the amazing screenplay is something which a kindergarten kid could dream of to scare his peers.
Finally, Puritans please stay away from this movie and the rest of us----please do not try anything shown in the movie at home------could put you out of action for some days.
In 2014, Ekta Kapoor and Bhushan Patel introduce this genre to the Indian audience in a big way in the form of RAGINI MMS 2 featuring Sunny Leone. They succeed in presenting Erotica in its truest form without resorting to obscenity, which itself is a tight rope walk when you have Sunny Leone in the movie and the movie going audience is already prejudiced about what the movie has to offer.
The introduction scene of Sunny Leone in this movie leaves very little to imagination and the ball sets rolling in to what is yet to come. The movie picks right from the the moment the first movie ends,Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) is in a lunatic asylum still haunted by the witch and is being treated by a psychiatrist Dr. Meera (Divya Dutta).
Rocks (Parvin Dabbas) announces a movie on the Ragini MMS scandal to be shot on actual location. He cast Sunny (Sunny Leone) a porn star in the lead role. The entire unit moves to the location and is stalked by the witch and killed in a gruesome fashion.

Ragini MMS 1 was way more scary and practical, this is just straight downgrade of that story, IDK how they made this movie survived the box office...

Totally waste of time irrelevant story dialogues is totally waste too much adult scenes makes this movie more cheap. Sunny Leone doesn't suit in the character at all. The director keeps sunny only for exposure and nothing else. Songs are little bit good otherwise this movie is a total waste of time....

The movie is an inspiration from the Japanese movie Reincarnation and scenes of some classics like Shining (scene with 2 kids at the corridor), Ringu (makeovers), Exorcist (the exorcism scene) etc were added to screenplay. There is a flashback like most Indian movies which breaks the suspense before the climax. The director actually wanted the movie to be more sensual and more frightening than the first. Sunny Leone displaying her assets (you must know what i mean), walking half-naked at nights, baby doll song etc added some sensuality to the movie. There were some frightnening images to fear kids and sensitive viewers but no substance to fear others unless you're easily scared. The script and screenplay could have been much much better.
Bottom line : Too many inspirations from foreign movies. Still a film to watch lonely late at night for an okay/average horror. You'll be displeased to watch for sensuality.

Review of Ragini MMS 2: ----------------------------- Breaking from my tradition this time i will give my recommendation before the review, separately for men and women.
Men: Go and watch it. Women: Don't watch it, unless you like Sunny leone.
The movie is exactly as the trailers suggested. Disclaimer being some scene MAY NOT contain nudity. Undoubtedly its a sleaze fest. Reminds you of Ramsay era except this was in HD and not technicolor. And had Sunny leone and not Huma Khan...
I consider myself a big horror fan the last scary film which impressed me was paranormal activity one i wouldn't go to the extent to say that ragini fails to impress but on a horror scale for horror fans its a 4/10.
Other than the song baby doll which has some surprise element...the only song worth recalling is char bottle.. Music 4/10
Direction the movie builds up brilliantly and answers a lot of question let unanswered in the first part which i found really impressive; what i hated was the climax which gathers lovely pace extends a bit and then falls dead... 4/10
Over all i believe there are two winners in this movie.
1. Ekta Kapoor this is surely a cash cow (by cow i didn't mean Ekta. Its a management concept) she took TV stars hyped the movie on Sunny and sleaze and has definitely given a money churner. 2. Sunny leone. The woman surely knows how to act. Boy if you compare her to Katrina in her first film she deserves a 'Chacha Saheb' No jokes apart she has really acted well and don't be surprised if she comes up as tomorrows star or who knows may show up as the third bahu of Mihir/Dinesh in some Ekta kapoor serials...sometime down the line...
Not worth watching unless of course you really are a Sunny Leone fan. Or want answers to ragini mms Part 1
Till next time...

Ragini MMS 2 review:
As a kid, the first horror film I saw was Ramsay's Veerana (1986). I remember quietly sneaking in the video cassette and watching it on vcr when my parents were away. The film had an evil force (Ramsay regular Anirudh Agarwal with mud pack on his face), a hot and sexy Jasmin under a shower and typical exorcism tamasha.
As I watched Ekta Kapoor's Ragini MMS 2, I was reminded of Veerana. It has all the above story elements only with bigger production design, slicker technical effects and ofcourse, Sunny Leone in place of Jasmin. Still, I aint impressed. Clearly, Hindi horror hasn't matured yet. Come back Ramsays, you are being missed...
Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni

'Ragini MMS - 2' A bone chillingly scary horror flick mashed with sensuous erotic masala that you won't forget any sooner! It is all about combining horror and sex into an ultimate package that evokes emotions of excitement, both erotic and that of horror. The scenes are so well planned, conceived and executed that this film indeed becomes worth a watch, along with its characteristic erotica, which is one more reason why you may love to watch it so badly. Performances by lead roles are impressive which certainly prove as an inseparable asset for the film. If the director would have kept some unwanted 'Bollywood-ish' stuff and trite jokes away from the film, it would have been much better.
Though music is not much part of the film, the song 'Baby Doll' is the grooviest and also a bit teasingly sexy number in the film, which actually carries the mark of the film's identity.
'Maine Khud Ko' and 'Char Bottle Vodka' are just cursory songs in the film but still do well, but definitely not as much as 'Baby Doll'. The Screenplay works, but its more erotic than terrifying. Bhushan Patel's Direction is atmospheric. Cinematography is average. Editing is fine. Art Design & Make-Up, are superb. Songs are peppy.

saw it on the first day first show. it was a fabulous movie a single word to describe the film. the film makes u feel shivers even when a glass is dropped. Yes it is a ho-ex film i.e. horror + s ex which will confuse you pretty much whether to go to your mother or to your girl. i have got another one, in the interval you'll be confused whether to go to the toilet to do some action or to do some actual s hit as the film might make you do that. in short i would say awesome work by the director, sound team, script writer etc. well done. P.S. this film also casts Sunny Leon e (acted well for a change) might not be a big attraction when you watch the entire film.

Ragini mms 2 is a bold attempt of balaji.Sunny carries the movie away with a easy role for her. Anita hassanandini could have bettered herself but still woes everyone with her killing expressions and should have given more importance .other performances are worser than TV serials but a watchable movie. The sunny leone part was done by perfection with a pond scene the best part ,Anita hassanandini could have done it instead of sunny and given more importance for her talent.No hero stands up in the movie and roles were made up The sunny leone part was done by perfection with a pond scene the best part ,Anita hassanandini could have done it instead of sunny and given more importance for her talent.No hero stRagini mms 2 is a bold attempt of balaji.Sunny carries the movie away with a easy role for her.
