Watch RGV's Phoonk, alone in a theatre and win Rs 5 lakh!!!

[The_Devil_Himself]

After the failure of Sarkar Raj and Contract (we're not even bringing up Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag), Ramu has devised a new way to promote his next film, Phoonk. This hardcore horror flick is set to release next month. And Ramu claims that Phoonk is the scariest of all his horror films.

So much so that now Ramu and Azam Khan, his producer, have, rather immodestly, announced a prize money of Rs 5 lakh for anyone who can dare to see the film all alone in the theatre. Darna strictly mana hai.

Azam Khan says, “We're confident that the film is so scary that it will be extremely difficult to watch it all alone in a theatre. We will be running a contest and giving out details on our website about how to participate in it. Right now we have decided that we will screen the film for the winners of the contest a few days before the release of the film, that is on August 22. At the moment we have planned four trials that we will screen in a preview theatre.”

The condition is simple - anyone who wants to win Rs 5 lakh has to watch the film from start to finish, without getting out of the theatre . The contest will be well-publicised . We are now working out the logistics of date and time.”

Although Ram Gopal Varma remained unavailable for comment, his close friend says, “Ramu is very confident of the film and knows that he has made one of the scariest film on black magic and that's why he is ready to challenge viewers.” Any takers?

If my simple demand is met... I'm in :D

[ax3]

LOL ........

bt sound effects in theatres r more scary than home threatres ....

i wont ........ i dont want my heart rate 2 go beyond & experience near 2 death or pee in my pants ......

[rahimveron]

I have seen so many scary stuff that this phoonk will not bother me at all.
Japanese horror fan here :D

[Pat]

I think they will prolly bribe the guy, ask him to leave midway and then sensationalize the news :lol:

[tarey_g]

Phoonk? 5 lac for the suffering, not bad :D

[xbonez]

^^ well, the bribe will have to be more than 5lakhs

[bassam904]

It won't be that scary........but i won't participate

[k6153r]

No movie can be so scary, I'm ready to take that challenge.
But, my mother wont let me go there!!!

[saqib_khan]

U r right rahimveron, i too heared that Japanese horror films r the scariest of all.

[T159]

AAJ TAK breaking news till the movie flops !

U r right rahimveron, i too heared that Japanese horror films r the scariest of all.
just heard and never tried ???
Japanese and chinese and korean:rolleyes: (albeit Asian horror is their genre)

Excluding the pathetic Indian horror

[Kl@w-24]

Excluding the pathetic Indian horror

What's that? Never seen it :D
Indian horror movies end up looking more like comedies!! The tagline shouldn't be "Darna mana hai", it should be "Hasna mana hai" :lol:

[goobimama]

Maybe they will make you have a lot of Pepsi/Coke before you enter the movie theatre so one has to exit the hall to make No.1.

[rahimveron]

Ramu ka deemag uski babes ne khaa liyaa hai shaayad :D
I bet even Ramu cant watch his own even he knows what to expect. That speaks a lot about the crap this movie will be. You can sense it from this kind of desperation.

@Kl@-24: Indian horror is most like b-grade eroticsm, usme nahaana sikhaaya jata hai wagairaa wagayraa :D Kya tuu wahi abhishek hai Football Chat wallaaa?

[Kl@w-24]

Kya tuu wahi abhishek hai Football Chat wallaaa?

Haan, wohi hu! Bahut taang kheechi hai 1-dusre ki wahan pe :D

[Lucky_star]

The horror will actually be so boring that the guy will prefer walking out better than winning 5 lakhs :o

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

Now that what i call EAZZZY MONEY :D

[gaurav_indian]

kaise kaise naam rakhte hai films ke hawa,water,phoonk,next one main bata deta hu kya hogi

Thook - the saliva :lol:

[iMav]

I am going, 5 lacs for just watching a movie, that too on recliner seats. Pretty cool.

Gaurav tu wapas aa gaya. Aao thakur.

[goobimama]

How about this. I'm giving someone 100 bucks to watch RGV ki Aag. No clauses whatsoever. But one must truthfully go through the entire movie. After watching, if you still have the will to live, let me know and I'll transfer the cash.

[iMav]

Make it 500 I will, I have haven't watched it yet.

[goobimama]

^^ You are not included in the contest. You are too lifeless to be affected by Aag.

[iMav]

WTF! Don't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.

[xbonez]

if i download a dvdrip and see it, am i eligible for the 100 bucks?

[trublu]

Ek to yeh film pitne waali hai.Uspe ramu sabko 5 lac dekar apna diwala kyun nikal raha hai?

[gauravsuneja]

[it_waaznt_me]

Nice .. I can endure this boring movie .. Are they gonna pay if someone falls asleep watching it ..?

[forever]

Ek to yeh film pitne waali hai.Uspe ramu sabko 5 lac dekar apna diwala kyun nikal raha hai?

Well said :D

[abhi.eternal]

i guess the director of 'evil dead' announced the same thing (for the 1st movie) and won the bet!! not sure though.... but i am sure that its easy to watch indian horror flicks alone after watching shutter (thai) and walking alone through lonely roads and jungles!!! but yes... i will some snacks to keep me awake in a rgv movie!

[MetalheadGautham]

I am going. Where is this movie going to be screened ?
5 Lakhs for watching a movie ? All I need to do is to go there and fall asleep dreaming about the rig I will buy with this money. :D

Ask him to play Doom 3 it the same theatre and conclude which is more scary-his film or this

[goobimama]

The government never punishes a person from raping himself. And I follow that code. :)

(It also doesn't punish a cop from harassing a regular person, so yipeee!)

[Ethan_Hunt]

Is it just me or the promos of this movie look identical to The Exorcist? :confused:

Also wasn't there something like this pulled off with watching Evil Dead alone in theatre & getting rewarded? Or was it just a rumor?

[The_Devil_Himself]

Two Famous Quotes:

>>> The only thing that one needs to fear is fear itself. <<<
>>> Money, faith and love are the biggest motivators. <<<

That means I am the best guy to win this :D

[krates]

Dude believe me you will not be able to watch the movie alone in a theater !@!

I know the horror is not going to effect you but the sound effects will surely do

And the guyz saying i will go and sleep

Do you think RGV will give money just like that he will ask several question like

Did you liked the movie ?
What was the best scene you liked ?
Which scene was the scariest ?

like that and even if you win

HE will give you 10 LAKHS to make you keep your mouth shut and say i got really scared by the movie

Sound effects are nothing to me. I am already used to METALLICA. :cool:

All those questions are very simple. Even if the movie is really stupid, I never fail to remember any scene.

The last option looks good. 10 lakhs instead of 5 lakhs. :D

[Psychosocial]

^^hey dnt forget Iron Maiden and Megadeth plus loooooooads of black metal ;)

well well........ will he give me the money if i go there with my iPod and PSP, play games while listening to some Metal and after interval, take nap ???

BTW i hope it is a good comedy ......err .... horror film :D

if i win, i will share the money with all the ppl here :D

[apoorva84]

this is total bullshit....i am pretty sure it wont be scary...i saw the trailer when i went to watch "singh is king" today and it looked like an immature remake of the exorcist...

[ax3]

@krates ...... +1 ........

@MetalheadGautham & @KPower Mania ...... this isnt abt any rockband performing ....... soundeffects in a particular scene might scare ur socalled ROCKER outta u ........

dont get me wrong .... bt its a horror movie not any rockband performing ......

[Psychosocial]

ROCKER ? :( so sad .......we are called Metalheads or Headbangers ........ ROCKERS are a different kinda species ;)

[krates]

Sound effects are nothing to me. I am already used to METALLICA. :cool:


u will not be listening to a song that time there will silence and then a bang and your heart beat rate will go up for sure !@! ;)

[Psychosocial]

^lol

[gary4gar]

I think not all will get a chance to watch the movie alone.
maybe it would be some kind of lucky draw.

I don't know if i would get scared or not but chance of winning 5lac is to hard resist.

Also, it would a "A" film so mirrors stay away. your mommies will kill you

[eggman]

Also, it would a "A" film so mirrors stay away:)) :D

[IronManForever]

Is it just me or the promos of this movie look identical to The Exorcist? :confused:

Exorcist was a great scorer in the genre, I mean though not the Xtreme scary but it was good.

Evil Dead? Sorry sir. I dont watch Cartoons. :D

[Psychosocial]

Exorcist was a great scorer in the genre, I mean though not the Xtreme scary but it was good.

Evil Dead? Sorry sir. I dont watch Cartoons. :D

Exorcist was kool, watched it three times me and my 5yr old sis had a good laugh :D

[krates]

the best of the scariest movie is scary movie :lol:

[Cyrus_the_virus]

Hold on guys, what do you think, do you think they're fools and let all of us and everyone who want's the 5lac watch the movie?

Here's what I think they're going to do, out of all those who will apply, they'll select some sh1t scared 'girls' and gay guys who piss in their pants on watching such pathetic movies. I mean look at the trailer, I was laughing all the way! :lol: If this is the case, then those who play "Silent Hill" in a theater alone should get 5crore as prize. wtf??

[T159]

err...never underestimate Silent Hill http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/60.png
