Had the horror thriller 'Boo' been released in a theatre, the makers would have gone to the town tom-tomming about its multi-starrer credentials. The film stars not only Vishwak Sen but also Rakul Preet Singh, Nivetha Pethuraj, Megha Akash, Manjima Mohan, and Reba Monica John. It is another matter that the film has been released directly on OTT.
Guess what, 'Boo' is streaming for free on Jio Cinema. Yet, nobody seems to have noticed it. Jio Cinema is quite popular these days, thanks to the TATA IPL 2023 season. It has to be seen if 'Boo' will catch up in the coming days owing to the growing popularity of the streaming platform.
In terms of its content, 'Boo' has been booed like crazy. The film, directed by Kollywood's AL Vijay, has been panned by film critics. "It refuses to rise above its mediocrity thanks to its lackadaisical writing and amateur execution," wrote TNIE in its damning indictment of the film.
'Boo' tells the story of a few youngsters who read horror stories from a novel, only to see them for real in a bungalow.
