Audiences go to the theatres to have a good time and to get entertained. In a stressful environment today, everyone wants to forget their stress and worries for a while. Well, this weekend, the film Kapkapiii is here to do that job. It is a perfect combination of killer comedy meeting chilling fun. The film will definitely leave you laughing and make you feel refreshed.

The story revolves around six broke, jobless friends who are living together in a rented house. They have no aim in life and have no idea what they are doing with it. One day, out of boredom they decide to contact a ghost using their jugaadu Ouija board — made from a carrom board! Their life turns upside down when a real ghost named Anamika actually shows up and turns their house into a haunted drama zone. There are flying glasses, creepy voices, and ghosts answering questions that no one else should know. To top it all, comes another character Kabir (Tusshar Kapoor) who adds up to this non-stop madness.

The performances by the cast makes the film so interesting. Shreyas Talpade as Manu is hilarious. He is the fake leader of this gang and he has nailed this role. Tusshar Kapoor steals the show with his expressions and comic timing. Every time he appears, the screen lights up. The rest of the characters like Nanku, Nirup, Rivin , every character have their own flavour which adds to the overall entertainment quotient of the film. Nanku, the tea-seller with a philosopher vibe, and Nirup, the overqualified-but-jobless guy are super fun. The upstairs girls Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Rathee are not just mere side characters or love interests. They bring their own energy to the film. Especially Siddhi who shows great range compared to her emotional role in The Kerala Story.

Sangeeth Sivan, known for madcap comedies like Kya Kool Hai Hum and Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, has managed to bring the same crazy, energetic vibe to Kapkapiii. This time he mixes the right amount of horror to it. It’s more like the kind of haunted house you would like to visit. Sadly, this was his final film.

Writers Kumar Priyadarshi and Saurabh Anand have nailed the tone of the film . The dialogues are the soul of the film and they are real, quick, and genuinely funny.The humor in the film does not feel forced at all.

Unlike typical horror-comedies that show ghosts in white sarees , Kapkapiii takes a modern approach. Here the ghost is not just a scary figure- she herself becomes a part of the gang’s drama.

Kapkapiii gives you fun, laughter and a little thrill which is exactly what is expected from a good weekend movie. If you have ever shared a flat with your friends, have been broke with them, or done something stupid out of boredom, this movie is for you!

Director Sangeeth Sivan gives us a lovely final film !
