Ragini MMs Movie Review
Directed by: Pawan Kripalani
Produced by: Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor
Screenplay and Story by: Pawan Kripalani, Vaspar Dandiwala
Starring: Kainaz Motivala, Raj Kumar Yadav
Rating: ***1/2
Ragini MMS is the story of Ragini who goes to an isolated bungalow along with boyfriend Uday Jhala to spend the coming weekend. Ragini is ignorant about the fact that her boyfriend’s intentions are to make a sex tape out of their union through the hidden cameras in the bungalow. However the moment Ragini and Uday come closer some paranormal activities (pun intended) start taking place.
Though the script of this film is not that solid, still possibly inspired from Stephen King’s novel Gerald’s Game and Hollywood film “Paranormal Activity” Ragini MMS of one and half hours completely manages to deliver the horror quotient. The movie has phenomenal sound effects, which will definitely startle you in the horror scenes. Second half is fast, however the extra use of camera shakes and audio-visual breaks seems unnecessary.
On the cinematography front, it looks completely inspired from Love Sex Aur Dhokha which was also produced by Ekta Kapoor and was a sex tape story only.
In lead roles both Kainaz Motivala and Raj Kumar Yadav have performed really well. Ragini MMS is a good mix of sex and horror, however I advise you to watch it only if you do not have a problem with bold scenes and bold dialogues (wouldn’t call it a family movie, besides guys at censor department share similar sentiments, Ragini MMS is an A certificate film).
Overall, Ragini MMS is a good film, and a must watch if you have been wanting to watch a horror movie since long and negative reviews about Haunted 3D forced you to decide otherwise, we at FilmiTadka give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. By the way don't forget to download Ragini MMS Movie Wallpapers.

Gayle, Taylor resumed playing without medical clearance - WICB
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has reacted strongly to comments made by Chris Gayle and Jerome Taylor about the lack of communication from the board about their injury and rehabilitation prior to their departure to India to play in the IPL. The WICB stated, in a release, that both players "unilaterally decided to resume playing before being given final clearance from WICB appointed therapists."
Gayle, in an interview with KLAS Sports, a radio station in Jamaica, said the board hadn't checked on his rehabilitation after the World Cup - where he sustained an abdominal muscle strain - and that he was "stunned" when he found out he hadn't been picked for the limited-overs series against Pakistan. Taylor had said the WICB did not contact him about his back injury before he left to play in the IPL, and it only did so on April 7, once he'd arrived in India.
In response, the WICB has released detailed timelines of the two players' rehabilitation and correspondence with the board. In the case of Gayle, the board's timeline notes that between April 17 and 18 this year: "Chris departs for India. Has not had required medical review, nor did he complete rehabilitation program and physiotherapy review as required, neither did he complete fitness testing prior to competition resumption." It also published an exchange of messages between Gayle and West Indies team physio CJ Clark about his fitness during the period March 24-April 8.
With regard to Taylor, the board claimed "he had not kept physiotherapy appointments for weeks prior to his deciding to resume playing." Its timeline notes that as per early April this year, "Jerome departs to India without completion of rehabilitation, medical assessment or approval" after missing a scheduled review with Dr. Akshai Mansingh, part of the WICB medical panel, who had been tracking his progress.
The board also reacted to criticism from Shivnarine Chanderpaul, saying "as a centrally contracted player the Board will address this matter through contractual provisions at the appropriate time."
Sri Lanka Premier League begins July 19
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) have confirmed the dates for the first edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League will be from July 19 to August 4, 2011. The seven provinces will play 24 matches over the 18 days, all of which will be telecast live globally. That suggests a format in which all the teams will play each other once in a league stage, before two semi-finals and a final.
Each team will only be allowed five overseas players in their squad, of which only four can be named in the XI. Several foreign players including Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Shahid Afridi and Herschelle Gibbs have already been signed for the tournament.
SLC also unveiled the team names for the provinces. The seven teams will be: Basnahira Bears, Kandurata Kites, Nagenahira Nagas, Ruhuna Rhinos, Uthura Oryxes, Uva Unicorns and Wayamba Wolves. The board plans to add two more provinces to the tournament within three years.
