Movie reviews: Eight

then come back home to London without finding her and a few minutes later the police arrive with the little girl? Why also would you go to Southall Police Station which is about 10 miles from Central London to report something that might happen 70 miles away? Why would you go 30 miles away to a library when every town has its own? Reading Library is NOT extra special!

If you think I've finished with my gripes about the inconsistencies of the film, hold on, I'm not done yet. Raj gets naked with Sadhvi at her place (it's not what you think) - they get naked to do some sort of chanting to invoke the spirit of Shani - Lord Shani is something to do with Saturn and the number eight. Sapna walks in and sees them naked and runs away thinking the worst. How on earth would Sapna know where Sadhvi lives or even who Sadhvi is? They haven't even been introduced and yet somehow she ends up at her house and gets the wrong idea (well who wouldn't get the wrong idea seeing two people naked together in the dark with a bunch of lit candles?)! When Kamini starts harassing the Rai family Suraj blames Raj and throws him out of the house saying it's his entire fault for all his meddling with supernatural forces. We see the sister-in-law Radha looking really guilty when Raj asks her about Kamini as he keeps seeing her spirit floating around and remembers her from a kitty party that Radha hosted a year ago. Radha's guilty behavior is never explained and when the film ended I had no idea what that was about, it just isn't explained. When the Rai family abandon their home to go stay with Suraj's friend Balwant some six hours away from London at a farmhouse (which looks more like a big country estate) he says he was expecting them and has food ready to which they are all shocked as Suraj didn't phone to say they were coming as it was a last minute decision and then Balwant laughs and says he was only joking - this also is never explained.

Raj dumps Sadhvi for Sapna and Sadhvi seems quite upset about this but this is never really followed through but she continues to help him. When Sapna sees Sadhvi and Raj naked together she runs out of the house really upset and Raj ends their relationship because of her jealousy but then suddenly she turns up at the "farmhouse" and all is forgiven from both sides - this isn't neatly explained either. The romance angle wasn't necessary at all. In fact, I have no idea why Sapna's character is in the film at all as she doesn't add anything to
