Producer Ekta Kapoor returns with another thriller oriented film filled with relatively fresh faces to Bollywood. The romantic triangle involves Manav (Sohail Khan), Shanti (Natasha, who debuted in Ekta's Kucch To Hai and most recently featured in the other earner Yeh Dil), and Disha (Isha Koppikar).
The triangle forms and one member of the triangle goes too far. Who is it? And who are they so hell bent on keeping? The film promises another twist in the timeless tale of fatal attraction and the chills and screams that are attached to it. Manav (Sohail Khan) and Shanti (Natassha) -- are introduced in the extremely popular Bindaas item number on the beach. Cut to next scene with Manav, Shanti and friends (Tully, Kabir, Nupur and Armaan) in college.
Thereafter Disha (Ishaa Koppikar) makes her debut on the college scene. Girl chaser Tully is besotted with her and wants to date her. But she has eyes only for Manav. Sohail Khan and Natassha are a made for each other couple on the verge of getting engaged till new girl Ishaa Koppikar turns up and the peace is shattered. Sohail is drawn to her. Sohail, Natassha and Ishaa and a bunch of cronies are in the car one day when strange things happen and they are forced to seek shelter in Krishna Cottage. Here even stranger things happen.
Which is nothing compared to a weird book which gives the heebie jeebies to anyone who even thinks about it leave alone reads it. And slowly the group gets depleted. Direction by Santram Verma shows a flair for the exotic but carrying a supernatural tale through two hours plus needed more happening. Unfortunately, things keep getting repetitive. Still the movie has several illogical factors. Manav holds and hugs Disha, who is a ghost!
All the characters live alone in their respective houses, which are really well appointed. They are not PG digs or college hostel accommodations. Sohail Khan, Natassha and Ishaa Koppikar have done reasonable jobs with the script they have been given. Anu Malik's music is good. Though the rest of the music has not been well publicised, there are a few humable numbers. On the whole, KRISHNA COTTAGE has its moments .
