As a horror fan, I'm cautiously optimistic. The first Ragini was genuinely creepy, but the second one lost its way a bit. Tamannaah is a great choice though—she has the acting chops to handle both horror and romance. Fingers crossed for 2027! 🎬
Finally, Balaji is reviving this franchise! Ragini was one of the few Indian horror films that actually scared me. Tamannaah Bhatia is a solid choice—she can carry the film on her shoulders. But 2027 release? BC, that's like 4 years away! Hope they don't rush it though, quality takes time.
I love that they're making it a "date-night horror entertainer." Horror and romance together can be tricky, but when done right, it's amazing. Tamannaah's energy is perfect for this. London schedule sounds fancy! Just hope the story doesn't become too predictable. 🤞
Interesting choice to shoot in London. The original Ragini had a very desi horror vibe that worked well. I hope this international setting doesn't dilute the cultural essence of the franchise. But Tamannaah is a star—she'll deliver. 2027 is a long wait though!
Balaji needs to be careful with this one. The horror genre in India often becomes a comedy or a romance-heavy mess. Keep it scary first! Tamannaah is a good choice but I hope they don't waste her talent on just jumping around in a nightie. Give us real horror, yaar! 👻
