Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Mahesh Manjerekar has made several films like VAASTAV, ASTITVA after which his films failed to click at the BO yet many got critical acclaim RAKHT made him try horror for the first time and he signed his fav Sanjay Dutt, Suneil Shetty alongwith Dino, Himanshu.etc He cast Bipasha in the main role The film is inspired from THE GIFT however it also is similar to 100 Days(1991) a Hindi film which itself was remade from some Hollywood film. The film however could've been interesting fails overall. The start of the film is good, slowly Mahesh introduces half a dozen subplots and all seems well. They are some interesting characters like Dino, Suneil Shetty. even Amrita Arora's character keeps you guessing. One joke is that in the film Bipasha can foresee other people's future but cant help herself. The film also gets slow paced and the audience gets fidgety. Even Abhishek's character(was added much later in the film after half the shooting was over) seems like an add-on. The climax is a downer, with all of a sudden things sorted out in typical Bollywood manner. There are several scenes hard to digest tooDirection by Mahesh Manjerekar could be better though some scenes are well handled Music is good, Quero is good, One Love is well adapted though not as good as the original, the best song is Jannat hai Yeh ZameenAmongst actors Bipasha in the main role does her role well and suits the part. Sanjay Dutt is restrained, Suneil Shetty is superb in an unusual role Dino Morea surprises with an excellent performance(kudos to Mahesh) Amrita Arora is superb, Neha Dhupia is okay, Payal Rohatgi is alright Himanshu Malik is not too convincing, he never impressed as an actor otherwise too Rajat Bedi, Sharat Saxena, Shashikala, Shivaji Satham are okay

Bipasha Basu is caked with so much makeup t'would make Barbie squirm. Oof. Her acting talents leave a lot to be desired, her Hindustani diction sucks and frankly I do not see her going places in films; at least films with any substance. Sanjay Dutt gives another wooden performance and Suniel Shetty bores with his mentally handicapped style and dialogue deliverance. Moraes does come across as a viable villain and is the most believable in this rather predictable and flat film on communication from the beyond. The most annoying feature of the DVD was the sound that jumped into deafening sound effects and then dropped to very low on dialogue. A horror film it is not. The only thing that made me jump was the sound effects which are jarring.

Saw this movie starring some of my favorite stars: Bips, Sanjay Dutt & Suneil Shetty.Medium: VHS @ Home Noticeable: Perfect remake of English movie "Gift".Wonderful depiction and performance from Bips. The others were fairly standard in their character portrayal. Catchy locales and opening! The suspense was very nicely built up for a Bollywood movie.There could have been some better songs and some good sequences but I think the producers decided to keep it a faithful remake of the Gift. The name, Dhristi was awesome!What's new: Pretty much nothing! Overall: Great Thriller! Good climax.

I don't understand why so many people get bent over if a movie is a remake or not. If the movie just remake everything right then it'll be enjoyable.Sure the movie is a remake of Hollywood's The Gift. So what! Even Hollywood movies had been remade before. No big deal.While watching the film, flashback of the original movie The Gift kept popping in my mind. It didn't bother me. I just like to see how Bollywood would pull this off.I loved Rakht. Bips is a natural and is the best. Everyone in the film fitted perfectly. Some argued that Suniel's character was strange but not me. He was awesome. The only person I was disappointed in is Yana Gupta! Yes, she's there for an item number but I felt her item number was overrated. Give me "One Love" any day!This is a Bollywood style movie so that's why it has a "happy" ending.
