Horror flicks seems to be the latest craze sweeping Bollywood these days. '88 Antop Hill' comes under this category. This movie is supposed to be a an edge-of-the-seat thriller. But the movie falls flat. Kushan Nandy's direction is is poor. Screenplay is weak. The scenes have no suspense or thrilling situations.
The story revolves around, Pratyush,whose wife leaves him because she is doubtful that he is having an affair with someone else.That night the couple has a small fight and Pratyush`s wife leaves him.Pratyush is left alone and sad!That night,he receives a call from his friend,Aslam,that his life is in danger,and he is at 88 Antop Hill!Pratyush,runs to that place and when he enters,he finds a prostitute,Teesta,over there.Teesta tries to seduce Pratyush,and Pratyush asks her about Aslam.She says that he wanted Pratyush to spend a night with her.Pratyush,is nervous.That night,Teesta,takes Pratyush to a bar and there they have a chit chat.

But Pratyush was not the only one who had been there that night. One of them is Sonali (Jasmin), the fiancé of a millionaire knows that the only way to get rich is by using her sex appeal. But she has a past which she wants to hide from her fiancé. This is what brings her to this deadly address. Rahul Dev plays Arvind, a law abiding police officer who never gives up until he solves a case. Solving this murder mystery forms the rest of the film.
Performance wise Atul Kulkarni and Rahul Dev did a good job. New comer Jasmin looks great. Cinematography and Sound effects are good. Music is average. To sum up the movie is below average.
