Shahid Kapoor gives his heart and soul to the role, though the converse of it is not true.

So when almost everything about the film is wrong, you are still not supposed to question anything. A general viewer reaction to the mediocrity of this film was ‘what else do you expect from a film like this?’ So with the frequent flow of such unapologetically self-proclaimed mindless action films, our basic expectations are so downsized that even distasteful dishes have turned easily edible.

Policegiri meets with the prerequisites of the ‘tired’ and tested genre. Remake a South film. Overdo the action. Have a police protagonist. But for a genre that demands a topless torso, a paunchy protagonist is visibly misfit.

Aurangzeb had the potential to be a much better film. Alas it only comes across as a TV serial sans the melodrama!

The direction by the duo of Kirshan Baadal is consistently awful and so are the performances. Payal Rohatgi (the only identifiable face in the cast) seems on a hugging spree and only bores. Sangram Singh can’t act for nuts and bears a constant lost expression throughout. Rahul Minz is extremely irritating. Jameel Khan hams. And who cares for Rakhi Sawant’s yawn-inducing item song in the era of Chikni Chamelis.

The scares in GHOST are inadequate and ineffectual. One expected so much more from the scary movie.

The film essentially had in it to be a humble entertainer but it’s unfortunate that the potential couldn’t be tapped appropriately. So Shakal Pe Mat Ja… apni akal lagaa.
