Is it a ghost? Is it a snake? No, it is Agyaat-The Unknown.Looks like the writers took the title too seriously.Because everything about this movie, from the plot to purpose leaves you guessing.Filmmaking is obviously all that keeps RGV busy.So at any given time the director is in the midst of starting or finishing a film.A good day at work for Varma translates in to gems such as Sarkar and Company – while the rest are pretty mundane and insignificant.Agyaat is another of RGV’s excuses to show off some fancy camera movements and deafening sound effects.In the past, his play with technique to create a sense of eeriness worked brilliantly in Bhoot.After an arresting opening sequence, Agyaat slips into a tale of Bollywood power struggles.So you have arrogant superstars, frustrated technicians and exploited assistants shouting at the top of their voices.Later Varma uses these clashes as reference points for his big message in the film.His point being that fear is the greatest leveler of them all. And social hierarchies have no meaning when you face death.But the entire first half is wasted in establishing the characters.

Agyaat tells the story of a film crew arriving in a dense forest to shoot their film.The team comprises of a tantrum throwing hero Sharman (Gautam), the heroine he badly lusts for – Aasha (Kothari), a South Indian producer Moorty (Ishrat Ali), an eccentric director JJ (Howard), a submissive spot boy Laxman (Ishtiyak Khan), the philosophical cameraman Shakky (Kali Prasad), a forever frustrated action director Rakka (Kale), Assistant Director Sujal (Nitin) and the simple script supervisor girl Sameera (Rasika Duggal) who has a secret crush on Sujal. While Sameera pines for Sujal, he dreams of attaining the film’s leading lady Aasha.

Circumstances lead to a two day shoot break. Setu (Joy) the local jungle guide then suggests a small camping trip in the jungle. During night when everyone is enjoying the bonfire, following a strange sound Setu goes on to find out more about it but doesn’t return.When the crew members go on to find him they find his dead body.Petrified, they all try to run out the jungle but their car meets with an accident. Now trapped in the unknown terrain as they try to find their way out more crew members start dying under mysterious circumstances.

With hardly any known faces amongst his cast members, Ramu manages to hold your attention to some extent by his gimmicky shot taking and effective use of background music.Agreed in a thriller with a short running time of under two hours there is less time for character development but what about the screenplay Sir? Varma was obviously out to make a desi mix of Predator, Blair Witch Project and Anaconda. But surprisingly even his technical wizardry doesn’t make much impact this time.Agyaat lacks the spooky fun of Phoonk or constant eeriness of Jungle.What Agyaat might always be remembered for is its bizarre climax.Only Varma can go ahead with something like this.All in all Agyaat lacks the chills and thrills to make an impact.
