The Rabbit House Film Review: A Honeymoon Horror That Hops Around Too Much

🌟🌟✨✨✨ (2.5/5)

Hold on to your popcorn folks, because “The Rabbit House” might just make it last longer than you’d hope for. It’s got everything – a mysterious disappearance, a honeymoon gone wrong, and a domineering husband. What it lacks, however, is a sense of timing and the art of storytelling.

Hello, darlings! It’s your very own Review Rani here, ready to dissect the latest Bollywood thriller, “The Rabbit House”. So grab a cup of chai and let’s dive into this rabbit hole, shall we?

Our story begins with a pair of newlyweds, Komal (Karishma) and Shrikant (Amit Riyaan), who decide to spend their honeymoon in the beautiful Himachal Pradesh. Little do they know that their blissful getaway is about to turn into an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries”. The movie is set in a quaint wooden house that becomes the stage for a drama that’s as chilling as the Himachal winters.

The trouble starts when Komal mysteriously goes missing. The locals start whispering about her tragic death, but the plot thickens when there’s no body, no evidence, and no answers. Our suspense builds up like a pressure cooker waiting to whistle. But alas! The whistle never comes. The narrative, just like the local buses of Himachal, takes its own sweet time, making the journey tedious and the destination underwhelming.

Director Vaibhav Kulkarni’s debut attempt has all the ingredients of a riveting thriller but lacks the right recipe to cook it. The movie stretches longer than a chewing gum, draining all the suspense and momentum. What could have been an edge-of-the-seat experience turns into a snooze fest. And just when you think the mystery has been solved, you’re forced to endure two out-of-place songs that make you want to scream, “Why, Bollywood, Why?”

Karishma does a commendable job as the tormented wife, while Amit Riyaan’s portrayal of the domineering husband is as subtle as a sledgehammer. Padmanabh Gaikwad, playing Mohit, delivers a grounded performance that adds stability to the otherwise shaky narrative.

Rani’s Wrap-Up: “The Rabbit House” is like a poorly baked cake. It has all the ingredients but fails to rise to the occasion. It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, served with a side of confusion. If you’re a fan of slow-paced thrillers and have ample time to kill, this might be your cup of tea. As for me, I’m still waiting for that whistle to blow. 🐇🏠🕵️‍♀️🎬💤🍿🎵🤷‍♀️
