RGV challenges public to watch his horror film alone in theatre
Mumbai, Feb 23 – Bollywood filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has challenged the public to watch his upcoming horror film ‘Phoonk 2′ alone in a theatre, promising a cash prize to the person who manages to do so.
Varma threw the challenge while promoting his film in India’s showbiz capital Mumbai in the western state of Maharashtra on February 22.
Varma said he would award five lakh rupees to the one who would be able to finish watching the film all by himself or herself.
The film tells the story of an evil spirit ruining the peace of a family that has shifted to a new town.
Varma had issued the same challenge before the release of ‘Phoonk’ in 2008, but the person who took on the challenge was unable to watch the film for even 30 minutes, and exited the theatre.
“When a person says that he doesn’t gets scared, it is like you are challenging the film to scare you. So in the wake of this, we had put a contest in ‘Phoonk’ that if a person can sit alone in the theatre and watch the film without getting scared and completes it, he will be rewarded a certain amount of money as prize. Now after a certain selection process, a particular guy was chosen and within 30 minutes he ran out of the theatre and obviously did not get the prize money,” said Varma.
He said that some people had protested afterwards that the contest was rigged.
Consequently, Varma has now come up with a scientific evaluation for his new film’s fright quotient, and has declared that a machine would be installed to monitor the pulse rate and heartbeat of the person who watches the film alone.
“The new contest that we have drawn up now is that a person who challenges that the movie cannot scare him, he is going to be put in a theatre and we are going to attach him with an Electrocardiography machine,” said Varma.
The readings of the machine would be shown live on a screen outside the theatre to both the media and the crew of the film.
To assure that the viewer does not close his eyes while watching the film, a night camera would also be hidden inside the theatre.
Directed by Milind Gadagkar and produced by Ram Gopal Varma, ‘Phoonk 2′ is a sequel to his earlier film, ‘Phoonk’ – the word refers to a ritual in Indian black magic – and is a supernatural hriller. Varma has said that ‘Phoonk 2′ is much scarier than the prequel. (ANI)
Hy tell Mr. Ram Gopal Varma that he can test the film in Vienna/Austria and i will show him that i can watch the film alone where ever he needs. I watched so many horrorfilms in my **** and saw thinks that he never can belive so. Lets make the test and he will see that the film could be scary but not so that someone runs out the theater i watched also the film paranormal activity alone at home and nothing happend. Ok you get a bit scared but you know that this is not real.
So if he wants to thest the film here my mail adress bekir.atalan@*******.com just a short mail and we can do his test in Vienna in any cinema he needs.
I´m waithing.
ya bu filmi izlemek o kadar zormu ben izleye bilirim !!!
I will sit through the film alone, like Bekir i have watched numerous horror movies whilst on my own, & i can safely say that i can sit through the whole movie without leaving the theatre at any point.
Sorry i forgot my contact address,If you want to get in contact with me my email is ralaws@ntlworld.com

I can do this easy. I sat there and laughed through Paranormal Activity and could even tell you what was going to happen before it did.
Come on put your money where your mouth is RGV start a site so we can join up to it and prove you wrong!
I am so numb to all the bullsh*t that Hollywood produces that I would LOVE to see something that actually scares me. I haven’t been properly scared since – well I can’t even remember.
I have been a horror fan as long as I ****, and it must been very scary to get me out of my chair.
So if the director will play this movie in a theathre in Holland I will watch it alone.
Mail me pottj007@planet.nl
I am ready for a supposedly scary film. I am very willing to sit in a cinema alone and watch this film. Myself and my wife are always saying they don’t make any decent horror films so maybe RGV has actually done so and am waiting to watch ALONE!!!!!!
Sorry, email is joannedavidson33@tiscali.co.uk
I’ll take on the challenge in Holland, or I’ll come to India if you wish

My dream is to be a dead body in a horror film, I can watch it anywhere, locked in cemetery at night alone. All I watch is horror film, mostly Asian. I would love to see if Bollywood can improve on Asian films?

I’ve seen some pretty bad horror that people turned green watching and walked out and I just sat there eating popcorn and enjoying it. I would love to see a movie that is so horrific that it would make me walk out after seeing only 30 min of it. But you know what, I don’t think there is a film out there that would make me do that. In other words, I would love to be apart of your challenge, and to make things more interesting, I would be willing to do it while eating popcorn and drinking soda.
