Movie has few things going for it other than decent cast. Dimple Kapadia and Amitabh are both excellent as they almost always are. It is not a carbon copy of its Hollywood counterpart, there are themes on afterlife and incarnation added in to appeal to the desi audience. The kids, who play a crucial role in the movie, I felt were poorly chosen. I know they are just a couple of young kids, but they acted atrociously. In fact they did not act, they made faces that they were told to. The director clearly did not know how to make the kids put in a good effort. That basically ruins much of the movie, they are both too annoying and they overact so bad that you cannot sympathize for their characters, which was the premise for the suspense and fear that builds up in the original "The Others". The remake could have been remarkable in the right hands.
