The Hansal Mehta suspense thriller Woodstock Villa is an entertainer with a few surprises and it is an ideal movie for the son of Anupam Kher and Kiron Kher, Sikander to debut. The overall look of the film is made like Hollywood movies and many other sections of the movie makings is inspired from Hollywood action and suspense films. The only disadvantage with the movie is its rather predictable climax.

The story of the film is about a businessman whose wife disappears from a place in night and it is said that she has been kidnapped .The one who kidnaps her asks for ransom but then the wife is killed. The body of the businessman’s wife is buried at a place and story revolved around the question who is the killer and why she was murdered.

The film has been directed very well by Hansal Mehta and music of the film is impressive but the placements of songs are abrupt. It looks as if the songs were made without looking at the story of the film.

The script and direction of the film makes the audience keep guessing and the debutant stars Sikandar and Neha Uberoi have unexpectedly performed well in the movie. The dialogues by Milap Zaveri and screenplay by trio, Sanjay Gupta, Rajiv Gopal and S. Farhan is brilliant and make the outcome of the film effective. The movie doesn’t have many striking and shocking sequences but it can be termed to be an average suspense thriller and entertaining film.

The film is different from the trend of movies in market and therefore it will catch audience’s attention. It is expected that it will do average business.

Rating: 6/10
