I went into this one expecting to have a fun Elm Street rip-off but the thing that I got is an OBSCENE runtime of 145 minutes, which is not justified in any shape or form. I'm not really into Bollywood/Indian cinema so I'm not really conditioned and wasn't really prepared to have essentially three different movies crammed into one - a supernatural slasher, a goofball romantic comedy and a musical (the shortest of the three, but still around 20 minutes…
