If you are an avid fan of horror movies than it is better that you rent a horror movie DVD rather than wasting your money on Click. From the very first promo of the movie people knew that Click is nothing, but just a remake of 2004 Thai hit Shutter which was than adapted by Hollywood in 2008 under the same title, and you won't believe this but same plot is used in a Tamil movie name Sivi which was released in 2007. The only changes director Sangeeth Sivan has made here is that he has modified the plot as per the Indian audience to ensure that people come up and watch this scary movie which is far away from horror.
The plot revolves around a young photographer Avi (Shreyas Talpade) and his girlfriend Sonia (Sada). Avi loves to click beautiful pictures and has a past before Sonia enters his life. However, one night while they are returning from a party they accidentally hit and run a young girl. Though, Sonia wants to help the girl, Avi fears involvement of police and therefore they decide to flee rather than helping the girl. After a couple of days, all pictures clicked by Avi has some strange white markings and Sonia begins to experience something beyond natural. Avi develops a shoulder pain and though he is fit and healthy his weight shows up as 120 kgs. Soon all best friends of Avi begin to die for some strange reasons and Sonia begins to feel that something is haunting them. The later part of the story is all about Sonia's quest to find out the shocking reality behind all the happenings.
If we look at the plot of the movie there is nothing much to speak about. Those who have already watched the Hollywood version of this movie will be utterly disappointed, because they know where the story is heading and therefore they will be aware of all the thrills about to come on the screen. However, the movie does have some scary moments, but I guess that is not enough to capture audience attention. Director Sangeeth Sivan might be a master at making comedies like Kya Kool Hain Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money, but failed to click as a master of horror.
Apart from the story, performance by Shreyas Talpade is good but his acting alone cannot help Click to register its mark at the box office. Sada is good in her role but there was no need to go for revealing clothes. Another negative point that the movie has is the music by Samir Tandon. I guess there was no need for songs. Often it has been noticed that horror movies punctuated with crappy songs spoils the entire flow of the movie. Cinematography by T.Ramji is presentable but special effects ruins up that department as well. I guess its time that our film makers should realize that there is a very thin line between getting inspired and copy pasting the script.
