AN AVERAGE STORY

Reviewed: 13-12-20

Well, not too bad as a time-passer but it is nothing more than an average story. If you are looking for spine-chilling terror or last line twists, this story is not for you. The same story could have been told in fewer words with better impact. The performances are great, probably the saving grace for this production. On the whole, a four out of five ...

MEDIOCRE STUFF

I expected a better story. This story certainly does not hold attention for long. Sequences in it are boring and quite inconclusive. I am huge fan of Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay but this story certainly didn't impress me. The performances are terrific! So an overall four out of five.

A GREAT BOOK FOR SURE!

Although some of the concepts are difficult to comprehend, I could get hang of the same on re-reading those portions. I can imagine what levels of research the author and his team might have undertaken for writing this brilliant book! The idea of accountability partner makes great sense. Thank you James for this life-transforming book.

RUBBISH

Predictable, foolish, boring, time-waster ... what more can be said of this story? My goodness ... how can you take your listeners for a ride? Can someone tell me how is this story any different from the story titled 'Mahnoor'? The same stuff presented with some poor changes here and there. Can't your writers come up with better stories? With twists that actually entertain? As for Neelesh Mishra's performance, well, he tried hard to infuse life in this story but it is so bereft of substance that notwithstanding his efforts, the audio presentation is very boring to say the least.

SO PREDICTABLE! THIS IS MEDIOCRE STUFF

A very bad story ... and there are quite a few reasons for my saying so - first, the cliche climax which a listener could tell right from the start; second, a disgusting description of the post-death processes in the corpse (the writer went overboard - sickening descriptions); third, a squirrel being possessed by the departed - are you telling a story to the tiny tots who are yet to go to preparatory school or to genuine lovers of ghost tales? Come on, this is stupid stuff; fourth, bad plot errors - does the writer suggest that the disembodied spirit was sometimes possessing the body of a squirrel and sometimes floating free to fulfill her last wish - if the disembodied spirit was so powerful, it could have possessed a human for better interactions with the protagonist; fifthly, what is the relevance of the sighting of the spirit close to a temple toward the start of the story, it is an open end which the writer perhaps forgot to close. All together, the story is disgusting and deserves a ZERO. Neelesh Mishra's presentation is also quite ordinary. In any case, he couldn't have done much with a story as poor as this one. I suggest Pooja Vrat Gupta read a few classic ghost stories by the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore to acquaint herself with substantive stuff in this genre.

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!

Wow! I loved this story. This is what I call a true entertainer. Kudos to Jamshed Qamar Siddiqui for this brilliant tale and Neelesh Misra for the smooth presentation. This is by far the best story I have heard in this series so far. The current rating of 3.8 is certainly not a fair assessment. If you ask me - this is out and out a 5 on 5 story. I wish the other stories were as good. Thanks to the entire production team for putting together this great story!

IMPRESSIVE PRESENTATION BUT THE STUFF IS THE SAME

I enjoyed the course, but these methods are simply a retelling of the techniques already known to many. Of course, the methods have been tweaked here and there, but essentially they are the same as explained by the memory gurus such as Harry Lorayne. Notwithstanding the restatement of already established memory stuff, I must say this course is worth a listen. It is certainly motivating, and the tweaks I have mentioned could be useful for devising new and unique methods catering to the specific needs and temperament of the learner. Dominic O Brien's voice is musical and great to listen to. That's surely a great bonus for the listeners. Thanks, Dominic.

PREDICTABLE RIGHT FROM THE START! POOR STORY!

Extremely verbose! I knew right from the time the protagonist and her grandmother visit the latter's sister's house as to what was going to follow. I guess the same will be true for most other listeners. Please come up with better stuff; this is not good enough. Neelesh Misra, as always, did the character voices very well. Unfortunately, the story is too bad to be made to sound interesting even by good voice-over.

A good story by Deeksha Chaudhary. Although the soliloquies of the protagonist sometimes sound unrealistic, by and large the story is entertaining. Neelesh Misra has narrated very well, and as always he did the character voices with great skillfulness. Of all the stories I have heard so far in this series, this is by far the best one. The sound engineering of this production is also of a very high order. I enjoyed the story ...

STUPID STORY! AVERAGE NARRATION!

Reviewed: 29-01-20

O, come on! Don't waste the time of the listeners with such mediocre stuff. What kind of a story is this? What about informing the police about the discovery of the skeleton? What about post-mortem? By simply burning the skeleton, Bhaskar and Viraj also become part of the probable crime committed by Ojas and others. Besides, the whispering of the song 'Pyar Hume Kis Mod Pe Le Aaya' by the ghost doesn't evoke any fear - it instead sounds comical and foolish. Please give us better stories! As regards Neelesh's performance, as always, his character voices sound far better than his narrative.
