3 A.M is a Hindi horror film directed by Vishal Mahadkar starring Rannvijay Singh, Anindita Nayar, Salil Acharya, Kavin Dave. After his girlfriend’s mysterious death at haunted Rudra Mills, Can Sunny, a reality TV host and his friends enter into a forbidden land in order to determine if ghost exists there or not. They tried to gather proof by planning to capture paranormal activities on camera. The rest of the story will tell you if they’ll survive or not.
3 A.M. is the devil’s hour. Many of us have already heard that and this story says that this is the time when ghosts are said to be the most powerful. Somehow Can Sunny and his friends decode the mystery related to the mills during this hour.
You’ll see paranormal activities and mirror activities which aren’t an issue since most of such films always lack originality. However 3 A.M failed to reach up to the expectation in scaring the audience like the Hollywood predecessors. One of the biggest mistakes is the film lacks deadly silence.
A horror film needs to be atmospheric where this film fell flat. The actors needed to be silent at least for few minutes but this doesn’t happen at all.
The film makers didn’t even try to create the mood required for such a horror film.
Rannvijay’s presence and his looks are the best parts of the film while Salil Acharya and Kavin Dave have done a decent job in their supporting roles.
Verdict: Overall, 3 A.M is a heavy film with lots of conversations with no silence. If this doesn’t matter to you, give it a shot or just skip it.
